My father is 83 and struggles to walk more an a mile these days due to a leg injury and the need for knee replacements. But on his electric three wheeled bicycle, he covers a few miles each day. No matter the weather he heads out in the morning and buys a paper, milk and bread. Mid day he'll do a supermarket run for my mother, and in the afternoon they will take a 'walk' together down to the sea, where she will walk and he will cycle slowly along side her. In the rain he wears a raincoat. At the back of the trike he has a huge basket that can carry their whole weekly shop, and in the front he has one that he throws his bag in. I'll admit we are lucky to live in a town that is walkable and the distances he covers are mot vast on even UK averages, but electric bikes and tricycles are suitable for all sorts of people and covering all sorts of uses. The trike could not replace their car entirely, but it means they can go weeks without using it.
