E-Bikes & Bikes Customised to You
Electric bikes (e-bikes) are all the rage, especially if you are a senior. AARP states that e-bikes are a practical choice for seniors who need transportation to get them around the community. They often struggle to ride bikes up hills or against the wind. AARP also reported that about half of all e-bikes sold go to seniors because they want to return to the road.
E-bikes are not all made equally, though. Seniors looking to make this investment should consider different models to find one right for them. We can get you started by looking at some of the best e-bikes for seniors to ride around their communities.
Around the Block 250W
Pros:
Cons:
The Around the Block 250 W electric bike from sixthreezero comes in the classic beach cruiser style and is designed for simplicity. With this bike, you’ll enjoy an innovative frame that takes the pressure off your back, shoulders, and wrists. The pedal position gives you full leg extension for less risk to the hips, knees, and ankles.
The motor is a 250 Watt rear hub drive similar to the EVRYjourney 250W, and it offers both pedal-assist and full throttle modes. The battery is a 250 Watt Hour and removable for easy charging. You’ll get around 15 miles on full throttle mode and up to 30 for pedal-assist. That allows you approximately 1.5 hours of riding time with the motor engaged.
The Around the Block 250W e-bike has a simple thumb throttle. All you need do is push down on it to control the bike's speed when on full throttle.
This beach cruiser has wider tires to give you better control over the bike. The width makes them a good choice for rough terrains or paved streets.
EVRYjourney Electric Tricycle
Pros:
Cons:
If balance issues keep you from riding an e-bike, consider sixthreezero’s three-wheel electric bike. With two wheels in the back and one in front, this style of e-bike allows you to mount and dismount easily. It also comes with a large cargo basket in the back.
Many of the EVRYjourney electric tricycle features are similar to the two-wheel model. It comes with a 250W rear hub motor and 250 Watt Hour battery. It can get up to 40 miles in full throttle mode and 60 in pedal-assist.
The ergonomic frame allows you to ride comfortably without straining your back or hips. The forward-pedaling means you get full leg extension, as well.
