Yeah, I've looked at electric bicycles, which can be had for under $1000, but are usually limited to 20mph.  This is a little slow for my 8 mile commute, which also involves 4 or 5 miles of interstate highway/freeway, where a bicycle won't work.  ...

For this commute, I'd recommend a used Vectrix VX-1.  Lithium obsoleted the NiMH models, so they should be very cheap, like under $1000.  Mine has been very reliable, and I trust it for about 15-20 miles range.  You'll have to do your own maintenance, but in several years mine has only needed a spring for the kickstand and a switch for the brake light.
