Why Are Electric Trikes Best for Seniors?

An electric three-wheeled bike can be a beneficial alternative if a conventional two-wheeled bike is too unstable or difficult to ride due to other limitations. For seniors and those with disabilities, such as people with balance problems, riding a two-wheel bicycle may no longer be practical or safe, they may carry a risk of falling, which is unsafe for the rider and other road users.

Also, It is difficult for them to get on and off the bike. For the sake of safety and convenience, a three-wheel electric trike can be a good choice.
