Training wheels for a decent fat 2 tire electric bike...is there such a thing?

[jaizon]

Almost 75. In bad shape (my own fault, mostly). But I do have BPPV (vertigo), which is under control now. So my balance is quite bad. I have a 3 wheeler duplicate of the Motan 360. Fun, but I'd like to try to get back to riding a 2 wheeler. Is such an item available and are they a good or bad idea. Thanks for any input.

just do it like I do for my kids lower the seat so your feet can be flat to the ground while sitting and off you will go. if it has a throttle you can take the peddles off too. hey it works for my 3 year old grand kid. just keep the speed really slow till you know your ok.

training wheels suck on a bike having a low seat so you can put your feet down easily woks far better.

They are called Adult Stabilizing wheel kits. Made for adults with special needs. But I really doubt they will handle the speeds of an eBike. You can find them on Amazon.

But I agree that they may not work at speed. To use them for regular riding as a backup, you'd want them reasonably high to allow a modest corner lean. If you did drift that far off kilter and the wheel finally grabbed, it might want to buck you around a bit? These ones seem to have some suspension in them to allow for progressive support and some shock absorption. Worth investigating...
