Seniors: How to Get Your Mobility Back with an ETrike: Regain Independence with an Electric Tricycle

How to get your mobility back. How an electric trike could be a game-changer for you. Hey everyone, I'm Dustin. I have 20 years of experience in the bike and e-bike industry. Today, I'm gonna talk to you about how to get your mobility back and why an e-trike could be a game-changer for you. All right, I've got three of Sixthreezero e-trikes, our relaxed body 750-watt recumbent, our Simple Glide Fat Tire 750-watt recumbent, and our AnyTerrain four-wheel e-bike. It's a really cool option, too. Now, I'm doing a lot of test rides here in San Clemente, talk to a lot of customers and I see many couples and, many couples, men and women, also just men and women, non-couples, lot of people coming where a spouse wants their husband or wife to get back mobile, to not have to rely on them, to take them places. Also, just a lot of people that maybe went through something medically, had some knee replacement, hip replacement, maybe had arthritis, and finally they're like, you know what, I need to get back into life and I need to be mobile again, and I totally get it. And previously, for a lot of these people, maybe like you, you know, some of the only options available were either a standard tricycle or mobility scooters, right? And mobility scooters don't give the option of you moving your body. And I find that to also be one of the number one things many people want is they wanna move their body, right? You wanna feel yourself moving your legs while you can and get that exercise. You don't want your body to atrophy, right? And so you're at the point now where you want your mobility back, you wanna do these things.

And truthfully, electric trikes are such an amazing option. They've really become increasingly more popular in the last five years, and I see it all the time with how many people couldn't ride a two-wheel bike anymore, have been home, and now they've found an e-trike, and they're out exploring, doing things. They're really great for a couple of reasons. One, there are so many different options out there, depending on your physical capabilities. You can see that the simple glide has a nice high backrest seat, easy to get on and off. The relaxed body is a forward pedaling design. Any terrain with four wheels is incredibly stable. And by the way, there are lots of other E trikes out there. There are more types, you name it. There's something out there, I guarantee that can fit your body. The cool thing is that when you pedal, you can get assistance from the motor. If your body's not physically capable of powering yourself, but you also wanna move your legs, you can utilize the assistance. Often, they come with five levels of assistance.

In level one, you will do most of the work. In level five, the motor will do most of the work. But the beauty of it is that you can determine how hard or how little you want your body to work when you're pedaling. Now, in addition to that, if you don't wanna pedal, you can use the throttle. And that's a really cool thing, and how it differs from mobility scooters. On most trikes, they can go at least up to 16. On the Simple Glide, you can go up to 19. Any terrain, 20 miles an hour. So this is a real practical mode of transportation now, whereas a lot of these mobility scooters can only go five miles an hour. So it's not a practical way to get from point A to point B daily. So now you can get that exercise, keep your body moving, or you don't have to, and use it as a way to get around. You have baskets where you can carry groceries and pick up things. Again, really use it as a mode of transportation. It's the ideal way to get around, definitely for trips under five miles, but even 10 miles plus, right? And so if you're someone who's been thinking about doing it, I say don't wait. It's a worthwhile endeavor. Even if it's not a sixthreezero, find something that's gonna work for you. Again, you're gonna be able to get out. Being independent, which I know is the key for so many people, is how do we regain that independence? And I see it multiple times a week with people who find eTrikes, and it really sparks new life into them, which not only makes them happy, but also often really makes the spouse happy as well.
