Thats ^^ definatley the demographic around here, they use them to run around town
a buddy bought 2 of the radpower for him and his wife, he was ok but she hardly used hers and now I realize it was too sketch for a not very athletic 40-50 yr old woman
they both sold themLast edited by XXX-er; 09-28-2023 at 08:38 PM.

75 yo lady around town bought an etrike.. she hates rainy days. Out there every day cruising around. Combo exercise and social thing. She's putting on 400+ miles/month. Amazing how far outside the city she goes somedays. Solo most of the time. I dont think theres a big ground swell of etrikes being produced but i do see more companies making them

a 90 something yr old WWII vet in town used to ride a trike, he was generally a nuisance on 3 wheels, so at some point his son (a ski bud) took it away cuz he would fall off and people were always calling with updates so I asked how dad was doing with losing his wheels and ski bro said
" well he doesn't remember he had a trike "
Sure there are probably more trikes coming but at some point maybe its not a good idea ?Lee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

All trikes arent the same. Hers has smaller wheels than the traditional trikes of yesteryear. Smaller wheels with motor and battery is very stable on flat bike/walking paths. She's never in a rush when ive seen her
Safer than having them drive around in cars. Our streets are clogged with seniors making bad driving decisions constantly. Lots of accidents E trike is the perfect exercise tool and errand runner here for seniors. Im trying to convince my mother to get one. The stationary bike had her bounce back from knee replacement quite well. Im not going to diagnose it as dementia or alzheimers but if the old girl keeps active she makes much better decisions

I was on about rail trIals. All the maratime railway was ripped up and converted to trail. No industry and not many peoole to ship to necessitating rail
Whats that company in calgary with the electric reverse trike. Those things are pretty cool. Most any trail is gtg with those. Guys are ripping big things on them. Bowhead core or something like that. I havent needed one yet
