We both have recumbent trikes but they’re not electric. There are kits available to convert or supplement them with motor power. I love the recumbent trikes, super comfortable but I observed one dangerous aspect. They are very low to the ground. I was on a city street with curb parking following an SUV. It braked abruptly, the driver deciding to pull into a parking space. I stopped too close behind and the driver reversed and started backing up. I realized, even with my flag they could not see me and trying to back up on a recumbent is not easy. Fortunately for me, the driver was looking at his side view mirror as the car was backing in and saw me. Lesson learned though. I think the electric trikes deserve more attention than they get.
SHEESH! Embarrassment. Just realized I have repeated myself about this at least once, maybe twice. Apologies to all for being so forgetful. Sorry to waste the band width and folks’ time
I've looked at them and thought about buying one, but there aren't very many places I want to go that are within range. If it's in town, I can walk there if I don't want to drive, and if it's out of town, the battery will be dead before I get there. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I think that's a qualification for being old enough to be here.
I would like to get one if they were more affordable. I got a trike on craigslist in case of emergencies last summer. Haven't used it yet as it would be better at the farm. Not so hilly. It has a basket on the back. I figured if tshtf, I can use it, not having to buy gas.
This is a review from a YouTube channel that I watch regularly. The podcaster had a stroke a year or so ago and mostly does stealth camping videos, but he reviews an electric bike here. This looks like a larger, heavier bike than others I've seen, but it's intended for off-road and on-road.
We see many during school holidays / christmas / easter and long weekends cause the area has a bike track from town down to the beach on both x2 main roads that lead to the beach We also have a “walk the Yorke” paths ..now I’m not 100 % sure on the distance as it’s only recently been finished I will look a link in that The walk / ride the Yorke 500km The 'Walk The Yorke' trail is a 500km coastal journey on Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. Starting from Port Wakefield the trail follows the eastern coast down to the southern tip. Then back up the western coastline to finish at Moonta
