A 40-something friend with MS in Edwardsville, IL (college town outside St. Louis) is thinking about an etrike. I think it'd do her a lot of good.
She's not in shape and walks with a cane, partly for balance. Hasn't ridden a bike in decades.
o Price under $3,000 if possible.
o Will definitely need a true step-through.
o Mostly flattish terrain with some minor hills.
o MUP and very light offroad capability would be nice.
o LBS situation unkown, but St. Louis isn't far.
No recent etrike threads of much use, so thought I'd ask again:
Q1: What are the specific gotchas to look out for in an etrike?
Q2: Any etrike recommendations from experience?
Thanks!
