Man, e-trikes are such a double-edge sword.
My wife has one (not this model... a totally different brand), and while it's awesome, there are two major points to consider:
-
The size/weight can be a major barrier. Not only for storage and access, but from a practical standpoint. For instance, some trails don't have curb cuts to get on/off them, so I don't see someone ramping off stuff with a trike, as they might with a bike. Especially not if the rider is a senior.
-
Maintenance is on an entirely different level. It's not easy to access anything on a trike... not the chain, not the hubs, not even changing a tube/tire is easy.
To me, e-trikes are closer to motorcycles than they are bicycles. But goddamn are they fun.
