How Electric Trikes Help Seniors Stay Independent | Real Testimonials & Inspiring Rides

Hi, I'm Sherry, and I am delighted to be able to present to you my wonderful e-trike that we got from Sixthreezero. I wanted to tell you that my husband did intense investigating into e-trikes, and Dustin's at sixthreezero beats them all. This one is unique and specifically, I think, meant for me because it has articulating wheels in the front, which is different from the other e-bikes that he carries. Most of them have rigid wheels in the back and one wheel in the front. But we were both very excited to see this bike because it moves with you and it is much, for me, it's much safer than what I have had before. I'm delighted about this seat because I have never been able to ride a bike very comfortably or even safely. After all, it really bothered my hiney crotch area, and when we saw this nice, good-sized bike with a back that just took the guessing out of all of it. And I must tell you, it's very comfortable. =And it's easy to ride, and it folds up. This is the other wonderful thing about this e-trike, which some of his others do also. So you can fit it not only in the back of your truck or other places, but in the trunk of your car if you need to. One of the other reasons I'm going to show you here, excuse my back view, is that this is what we liked about this, because I'm so short. I'm 5'2", and I have a hard time fitting on most of the bikes that we've tried.

And this one makes me feel very comfortable because I have a good solid foot on both sides. We are very impressed with Dustin and sixthreezero, and the main thing that we've been excited about with these trikes. He is looking out for us, who are over 70, senior citizens. This makes it a lot easier for you to be able to exercise, especially if you like getting out on a bike. So we highly recommend sixthreezero, Dustin's wonderful e-trikes. My whole glory. Are you smiling? I am smiling. This is my Simple Glide Recumbent e-Trike by sixthreezero. There were a lot of reasons that I wanted to, at first, consider this bike. The first was fun, exercise, comfort, and safety. I feel like this bike has done everything I asked for. The seat sits low, it sits over these back wheels. It's comfortable, and that was one of the reasons I went with it, because it was advertised as being safe and comfortable, and it truly is. You ride, sometimes we ride up to four and a half miles, which may not seem long to a lot of people, but to us, seniors, it was a long way. You never get uncomfortable in your bottom, your back, or anything. The pedals, because the seat sits low. When I ride a regular bicycle, the seat on the bicycle is awkward for me. I've got a bad hip, I've got a bad knee, I have arthritis in my feet, my knee, my hips, my hands, my shoulder, my lower back.

The bike itself allows me to use my hands either by simply pedaling because I'm holding on, or shifting gears. My feet, my ankles are moving when I'm pedaling. Because of the way they pedal, and I'm not a bike maker, so y'all are just gonna have to trust me. The way they move makes your hip move differently than when you're sitting on a two-wheeler. So for me, that is a major factor. Before the bike, I was limping around, it was really difficult to walk. Now, I walk with no limp, and my hip does not hurt. The other thing is I'm a cardiac patient, so I need to do something that will increase my heart rate. I don't like one of those crazy classes people take, you know, to get their heart rates up. No, I just use the bike, and it gets my blood pumping.  It also helps my brain. Because we're riding it on the streets in our neighborhood. And we have three neighborhoods that connect. So I'm paying attention to the traffic behind me, am I going to make a left? All of these things that when we drive a car, we just kind of go through the motions. You don't think about it. But when you're sitting on this bike, out in the open like this, that's all you think about. It was easy to learn. I struggled just trying to get with the gears, but honestly, I'm directionally challenged, so it didn't surprise me. So after about a week, I was able to do it.

The biggest benefit for me, even though I was looking for fun to begin with, was health. So if you guys are looking just for fun, here you go. If you're looking for good health benefits, here you go. If you're looking for comfort and safety, listen, I've turned every corner in this neighborhood, and I just glide through those corners, and I'm not going slow. Hey, I'm Jim. Just wanted to share my thoughts with you on the Simple Glide Recumbent e-Trike by sixthreezero. We decided to get an e-Trike for a variety of reasons. The versatility that they offer is that you can use it. In pedal mode, you can use pedal assist where the motor kicks in periodically to assist in the pedaling, or in my case, because I have a disability, I have a paralyzed right leg, you could use just strictly throttle, and that's what I have to do. But when we looked at them, we wanted something that would give us, as a couple, my wife and I both purchased one of, and we were looking for something comfortable to sit on, comfortable to ride on. This has got like an office chair seat. It's adjustable, so you can move it up and down. The handlebars are fully adjustable here. You can move them up and down. Because it's a recumbent bike, you sit further back, which allows for great stability. Don't feel like you're gonna tip over going into a turn or a corner. And for me, what sold sixthreezero as a company was that they offer the ride and try. 30 days, buy the bike, the trike rather, and for any reason you don't like it, send it back when they're done. So my suggestion to you is if you have any type of ailments, for seniors or non-seniors, this is a perfect trike for you.
