Exploring Nature with Ease: Accessible Electric Trike Trails for Seniors

I have the Sixthreezero e-trike rickshaw with the passenger seat on the back. This is a very powerful electric trike. Now, one thing I want to point out as well, the seat is completely removable, and we will have a basket as an option that you can put back here if you don't want to ride with the seat. Now, the beauty of this e-trike is the fat tires, four-inch wide tires, 20 inches in the rear, and 24 inches in the front. What's cool about that is setting it lower in the rear so the passengers sit a little bit lower, making it safe for the riders. And then you got the bigger front wheel. This thing is very powerful, as a 750-watt front hub motor, each right here. I'm 220 pounds, I don't know if you can see the hill up there. I'm going to show you how this performs with me as the driver. Now, passengers up a hill like this on a dirt trail, it's going to be a little bit more challenging.

You could do it, but you're probably going to have to be well, you're not probably you're probably going to have to be in a pedal assist level five. And it requires a little bit of work. You're not going to bring passengers up this type of hill with the motor alone. You're going to have to exert some energy, and use the pedal assist because again, that's a big hill. Are we ready? All right. Let's go ahead and do this. Now, this is a pretty bumpy trail you can see, and we're still doing it. It's really hard to demonstrate on camera how steep and bumpy this is. We're gonna show you just a little bit more how we can take down the shrubbery here. You can see it's no match for these 4-inch tires. Just bulldozing down trees and shrubs. We're going, I wouldn't recommend this, but you can do it, and we're out. So this thing's powerful. Now we're gonna go all the way to the top of that hill up there. All right, I'll just use the throttle through this. Once we get a little steeper, I'll need to start using pedal assist. I got it in first gear right now. 

This is the Simple Glide 750-watt fat tire e-trike. This thing is awesome for trails, pavement, you name it, and especially seniors, I'm gonna point out why. Now the Simple Glide has a 750-watt rear hub motor, this thing is really cool. It's powerful. It has a twist throttle you can use to go without pedaling, or you can pedal as well. What makes this so cool for seniors is, of course, this comfortable riding position here. You can slide the seat forward or backward. This is a recumbent style e-trike, so you're pedaling out in front of your body. You can also get these handlebars adjusted so that you can relax your elbows on the seat. In addition to that is the stability of this e-trike. You can see we've got these four-inch wide tires. Also, with this elongated frame, the stability is incredible. Tipping it is nearly impossible, and turning it on is super easy. One of the easiest to turn, one of the most stable. On trails like this, which is not even perfectly flat, it's so smooth. These fatter tires absorb a lot of the shocks and vibration. It acts as a shock absorber, makes for a comfortable ride, and you have more than enough power to just go out and cruise around. And enjoy the trails that you might have by you. Now you have your front basket as well to bring things with you on your rides. You have seven gears that also work in conjunction with your pedal assist levels. Your battery is 15 amps per hour. So you're gonna get up to 50 miles on a single ride. You can also go 20 miles an hour on this E-Trike.

So you can get up to pretty high speeds. It's a lot of fun. And front and rear mechanical disc brakes that stop quickly, easily, and safely. The other thing I wanna point out is you can lift the armrests. This has a very low step-over height. So it's easy to mount and dismount. You can also flip this footrest down if you don't want to pedal, rest your legs, and just use the throttle. Also, the handlebars here are easily adjustable. You can flip up that lever without any tools, just find the perfect position for you. And then you're off and riding. I'm going to have to ride over some wood planks. That's okay. Another wood plank. Come up this little hill. All right. Let's see, where can I drop in? Might as well come right in here. All right. So you can see Simple Glide can handle these trails. The fat tire, no problem at all. This isn't even as flat as most trails out there, a lot of bumps. So we still have stability, no problem. I wasn't worried about it at all. Comfortable, a lot of fun.
