It varies wildly by locale, this person may live somewhere extremely hilly like San Francisco, or they may live in Kansas (scientifically proven to be literally flatter than a pancake). I can’t be bothered to check.
I’ll say I’m confident this person is just being a big baby about having to pedal, and basically just wants an electric motorcycle.
You can have it so long as it is semiautomatic. There’s just a lot of paperwork involved because the bolter itself and each individual round are probably considered destructive devices.
