Welcome to the Motor Bicycling Forum Austin.
Besides being tired of hills on a bicycle. Your info states that you are 27yrs old.
An auto will make getting around a whole lot easier.
Tennessee limits mopeds to 49cc and have to be registered. I would post a link but I suspect you can find it fast enough. Electric motored bikes are an option.
But I didn't look at your States statue's regarding EV bikes. Just out of curiosity, you got a DUI- OUI in your recent past?

Registered???? Not according to TN 55-8-101(35). Though you do have to have a driver's license. The Tennessee law was what inspired me to build the LandRider which shifted 7 gears automatically.

I now ride the Sidewinder which I manually shift gears. Though technically not legal in my state; I still can't go over 30 mph on level ground. In my town I personally know all 16 members of our police force. When riding I completely obey all traffic laws. I've never been pulled over and have been riding for 14 years.

Here's my 3×7 triple chainring shift kit build. I shift both shifters with my left hand. I developed a color coded shifting system. It's a total of 9 sequential non-reduntant gears. The reduction range is 66.79 \1~16.25\1; the widest reduction range in forum history. I'm 250 lbs and my bike weighs a 100 lbs. The engine is a Robin Subaru 35.
