Maybe it's not Singapore that's an outlier, but the US? Delivery in Spain, Portugal, and other European countries is by motorcycle.

I believe in the US, a car driving license is fairly easy to get and used cars are very cheap. Plus, given the driving culture, I assume that in the US people just don't think about motorcycles unlike in Europe or Asia as a viable way to get around.

In The Netherlands, most deliveries are by ebike. This has a lot of advantages:

- Even cheaper than motorcycles / scooters

- No license required

- Excellent bike infrastructure already available
