I know this is weird considering I've busked on the DC Mall, Old Town Alexandria VA, and Asheville, but when it comes to small town grocery stores, Walmarts, Target, etc I get so gun shy. Is this a case of "better to ask forgiveness than ask permission"? Do you go in and ask permission from the owner? TIA

For context, I currently live in my car, I work Doordash (multi-app with Uber Eats & Instacart) and occasionally go busking. I'm saving up for a road-trip that'll start after Memorial Day. But with the rising gas prices and how I'm thinking of leaving the USA in September to never return, I'm trying to see if selling my car to get an e-bike is a good idea for the US.
Right now I'm only holding onto the car because my best friend & I are gonna go see a concert on Memorial Day, he lives one hour from the concert venue, and he has a big pickup truck. So I want to hold on to my 2011 Honda Civic so he doesn't have to buy like $500 of gas for our outing (may or may not be exaggerating at this point). After that I'm thinking I'll sell the car & buy an ebike, then start my travels. I'll also use the Amtrak USA Rail Pass to get to places I wanna go in the US.
I guess I'm posting this in this Sub to see if there is anyone here who has done what I'm thinking of doing and how they've managed it?
For the ebike I'm thinking I'll either need a cargo ebike or a smaller ebike with a trailer because I'll need to haul a guitar, a mini amplifier, mic stand, Doordashing Bag, a tent and/or a hammock, bag of clothes, cooking supplies, and a laptop bag. I'm also thinking long term about the ability to bring the bike on a plane for when I do leave the US.
Any advice is much appreciated, TIA!
