I have considered an e-bike. I believe I might be safe on one in some situations, but not as a daily driver. As mentioned, my balance is very poor. I can manage a stand up scooter for short distances. But the penalty for a fall at my age is far too high, and so anything on two wheels is really not going to be acceptable. Thanks for the thoughts though.

Three-wheeled e-bikes (trikes) also exist. I know someone who also has balance issue (mid 40’s with reduced motor control on one side of the body) who uses one all the time.

They are also used a lot by elderly people who are afraid to fall over. A friend of mine’s mother uses one for that reason. Depending on your needs they come with either a normal bicycle saddle or even a full seat if you need the extra support.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
