It's just a shame Toyotas are so expensive, especially used.

e-bikes are comparatively essentially free

Very useful for carrying tools or kayaks, too.

I like how they keep me dry in the rain, warm in the cold, and protected from knock-off military murder wagons being driven by underinsured middle school drop outs with a cellphone in one hand and a tiny dick in the other.

Consider looking at Scions - they are Toyotas, just with a different badge. They are way cheaper and still incredibly reliable.

Exceptions: Scion FR-S is a Subaru engine. Scion iA is a rebadged Mazda.

That brand doesn't exist where I live, I think they're only left hand drive.

Scion was only available in the US and Canada. The same cars were available as Toyotas in a bunch of other countries though. They just have a lower resale value here in the US because of the "brand".
