Tell your beautiful wife Brenda, she really needs a hamlet on her head even on a trike, because anything can happen and the first thing people will say is, she was riding that e-trike. Please.
Everyone should know. I bought 2 lectric trikes for me and my wife last July. One of the trikes came with a bent wheel on the back, and the other one had two flat tires. Lectric ebikes sent us a new wheel but I bought new tubes for the tires. Now both bikes have bad rear axle bearings and the bikes are not usable. We have put 117 miles on one trike and 104 miles on the other all neighborhood riding. I sent video of the bearing movement, and noise. they told me I had to pack up the bike in original packing and ship it back 1000 miles just to get it fixed or replaced. I asked for a shop service manual but they refused. These bikes are cheaply made and service is poor. So much for savings.
With the bike in seventh gear and electric help in third. Will allow her to pedal easily and get some real exercise to keep the bones and muscles from locking up. Se is getting the same body value as sitting in the backseat of a car..
I am 71 and I know a huge difference in pain from when I peddle and when iI just ride. It will hurt some at first. But if toy solder thrue it. She will have less daily pain, sleep better and be more allert. And yes she needs a helmit. Bebause the old nggins is not as strong as it once was. No matter if it musses up her hair.
