What a great exchange of helpful information this is. I went through the same gyrations and found one more interesting technique: mounting from the sidewalk while the bike wheels were still on the street. It adds five or six inches more to your height. Unfortunately, I had no such sidewalk...

So sorry to hear about this, and just want to wish you a speedy recovery. As an over eighty senior, I know that it's no picnic to have a fall like that!

Have heard great things about Sleek E-Bikes also.

Hi Jerry, thanks for the clarification and the video. Have a great weekend!

Jerry, what is the Evelo that you are referring to here, the one with 80,000 pre-orders? Thanks.

Yes, here is the link: Thank you!

Just did chime in! Thank you so much! Looking forward to starting an on-going discussion about all the many ways that electric bikes can bring enhance the lives of those whose mobility seems limited. And there is so much expertise available on this site to attain that end.

Hello all! My name is Allen Ballard, and I'm the author of a book entitled "Keep on Moving! An Old Fellow's Journey into the World of Rollators, Mobile Scooters, Recumbent Trikes, Adult Trikes, and Electric Trikes" and I wanted to let you know that tomorrow, December 2, at 2:00 p.m, I'll be a...

I wish him the best of luck. I'm 88 and wish I could do the same, but my right leg won't support the bike's weight, so I have an e-assist trike.

I do hope you're enjoying your new scooter. I have an electric trike and have multiple mobility issues when walking, but they all seem to disappear when I'm back on my trike. Good luck to you!

Interesting point. Ran into the Amsterdam figures earlier while doing some research. I figured out that the same factors that might lead seniors to seek out e-bikes--decreased mobility and flexibility as a result of aging--, might decrease their ability to control an e-bike. Indeed, on my...

Interesting and, I think, an important caution for seniors. The same factors that might lead a senior to use an e-bike rather than a diamond frame

Would like to add to the above comment. Trikes come in all kinds of configurations, from adult trikes which are sometimes called "Granny" trikes, to semi-recumbent step-through type trikes, to fully recumbent trikes. All of them can have electric motors added to them, but the basic problem is...

I exercise without using my motor for about six hours a week on my comfort trike. I only use the motor to make sure it works. Other exercise is walking with my rollator about four hours a week. I alternate early morning with one form of exercise, early evening with the other. After...

Am 87 and have a very low German made- step thru e-assist trike. It's very stable. In my search for bikes, tried a bunch of diamond-frames, but just couldn't swing my right leg over them. If in doubt, I'd get a good solidly made step thru--after all, back, hip, and knee problems generally...

Really informative review of their differences--thanks!

Really good and detailed report. Thanks a lot1

Try in your own country, the Van Raam Balance Bike. Beautiful and well-constructed crank forward bike with very low step-through. And they have their own well-developed motor to go with it.
