Yeah they claim(. E trike). Is rated for 250 lbs, I don't seem. To think that it is, Because I weigh that much, That's where I think they went for style rather than stability, Luckily. I bought it used. Didn't have to pay the full price, It's a nice etrike.( So). On the seat post. I'm going to have to add. I think stabilizer bars, They wanted to put this plastic basket on the back, So, they went without adding extra. Stabilizer bars on the seat post. To the bottom frame. Would have made it a whole lot more stable, Otherwise it's more rated for someone, maybe 200 lbs or less, Anyway got it for real cheap So this picture shows where I need, to put the stabilizer bars
I think I'm gonna have to add stabilizer bars. To this(. E trike)

If that's your first trike then take the time to get used to it. The Pedego trike is one of the best riding trikes I've ever ridden, and I've ridden about 8 different brands for comparison. If you do have a stability issue than check for any damage. Rear wheels square? Headset tight? If the price was great than maybe there is a reason they sold it so cheap. Trikes tend to hold a solid value, at least in my city.
But those trikes are nice. Congrats on the purchase if nothing is wrong with it.

A lot less than what they paid for it, So it sways a little bit. And I found out the seat. They put on this (. E trike). Is the least expensive seat you can buy. Making it not as good and stable. And not able to hold( Wait). Over 200 lbs. It may hold up just fine. As is, Currently. I own. . Rad city 3. Red Rover 1. And a hyper(. Ebike) So. Like you said there's a learning curve on these(.

Really curious about the extra and seemingly random punctuation. Does it have a purpose? Readability is very low.

Wait, you proof-read before posting?? Unheard of!
;^}
Just a fact of written life: The harder a reader has to work to decode or slog through a message, long or short, the less likely it is to get a response — let alone one that actually addresses the subject that prompted the message in the first place.
The fundamentals of readability are well-known. For example...
1. Separate ideas with capitalization, punctuation, and paragraphs.
Large blocks of featureless text drive readers away. If the author can't be bothered to organize their thoughts, why should I bother to tease them out?
2. Spelling matters.
Rampant misspelling puts a huge decoding burden on the reader. If you rely on auto-correct, plan to check its work and fix its frequent mistakes.
3. Lead with the main question or point.
THEN backfill with details. When the reader knows where you're headed, details get a lot more traction.
5. Acronyms can make for easier reading, but only when readers know what they stand for. When in doubt, DAFT (define acronyms on first use).
A lot of members on this forum aren't up on texting shorthand and have no desire to be. But a lot of them have vast knowledge and experience to share. Drive them away, and you may never see the best answer to your question.
The traditional rules of writing are there for a reason — to get the reader to understand and engage with your point or question before you lose them. And the longer the post — or the trickier the problem — the more important that becomes.

1. Topic sentence:
- This sentence is the first sentence of a paragraph and summarizes the main idea of the paragraph.
- All of the following sentences will add information that expands upon or supports the idea stated here.
2. Supporting sentences:
- The second sentence identifies the first major supporting detail.
- The third sentence brings up a second supporting detail.
- Similarly, the fourth sentence mentions a third supporting detail.
- Additional sentences can be added here for additional supporting details or to divide one lengthy supporting detail into separate, easier-to-read sentences.
3. Conclusion:
- The last sentence of your paragraph is your concluding sentence, which quickly ties your supporting thoughts together.
- It also might restate your first topic sentence using different terms.

I'd say it's not ready for prime time.
I am reading as much as I can on the topic, , I have difficulty spelling. And I have a learning disability. And mental disability, I will keep reading. On the subject, Thank you

I used text to speech extensively some 20 years ago. There might be settings to improve readability. Getting rid of the many extra periods and parentheses would help a lot.
What software are you using? Someone here might be familiar enough with it to help.
It's free with ads on the side. or 2.99. A year I think, Oh. I realized that, all the examples of. Writing. Paragraphs, and punctuation. It's right in front of me. By reading other people's post. In your post. I can familiarize), Myself about what, a proper. Paragraphs and sentence looks like
I work in a company that deals with Germany, China, Brazil, Mexico and a few more. I'm used to reading converted messages and honestly the above didn't really bother me. I figured it was some kind of conversion software being used and wondered what country they were from? Now on a BMX forum that I frequent we have a guy who just flat out can't spell! Not sure if its on purpose or just the way it is. His post on the BMX site make me smile because everyone flips out over all the misspelled stuff and weird punctuation and tries to alert him of his composition sins!

You got rid of a lot of the stray parentheses, so that's big progress!
Looks now like every time you pause in your dictation, the software throws in a stray period. And I vaguely recall coming up against that, too.
So as @gromike suggested, try turning off all punctuation. There could also be a s setting that allows longer pauses before it auto-punctuates.
