The way I understand it, the objection to electricity is based on an aversion to corrupting and time-wasting appliances like television (and more recently video games and computers). But if the power plug is on someone else's property, they aren't going to be tempted.
I think it's all about avoiding temptation. They will allow motorized vehicles like tractors as long as the wheels are made of steel. It is illegal to drive on paved roads with steel wheels and so they won't be tempted to drive into town for a beer. The policy sometimes leads to silly decisions like the man who asked his bishop if he could buy a forklift for his business. Okay, he said, as long as it has steel wheels.

Yes to some extent although some churches allow generators, at least for their shops. As far as transportation goes, you're right. That's why they allow scooters and not bicycles.
