The Best NEW Senior Activity: Seniors are Loving This New Outdoor Activity for Exercise & Fun

A great senior activity idea you're going to want to hear. Hey everyone, I'm Dustin. I have 20 years of experience in the bike and e-bike industry. Today, I'm going to talk to you about a great senior outdoor activity idea. All right, so the big new senior outdoor activity is e-biking or e-triking. Now, you can see I've got four electric bikes right here. We've also got electric trikes. Now, at sixthreezero, we do a lot of e-bike rides and we do a ton with seniors over the age of 55, and 60, and we've seen all ages from 60s, 70s, and 80s getting onto e-bikes and e-trikes. And we've got videos in our YouTube channel, if you wanna check those out, of riders in those age demographics all enjoying either an e-bike or an electric trike. Now, if you have been apprehensive about getting back on a bike, maybe your balance isn't so good, and you're looking for outdoor activity, an e-bike or an e-trike, which has three wheels and stays balanced, which we've got a whole assortment of those, is a great way to go out, have some fun, and get with friends.

Now, you may be thinking, okay, they're dangerous, they're scary, but the beautiful thing is, with e-bikes, you can dictate how much or how little assistance you get from an electric bike. Like on sixthreezero, we have five levels of assistance, zero, one, two, three, four, and five. One gives you the least, five gives you the most. So if you've also been worried about your leg strength, you can utilize the motor to keep you riding. Now I've seen it and maybe you've heard about it. This is a growing community of over 55 that are turning to e-bikes and making it a daily thing, riding around communities. And so if you're looking for a way to get out, get exercise, or ride to a pickleball game or a tennis game, e-bikes, are a great, great option. We've got lots of rides with the over-55 community. Balance becomes another issue and fear sets in around falling off. We've got some great electric tricycle options that are also very balanced and stable where you can utilize them as well to get out and get around the community or exercise. And the cool thing is, is that those have the assistance as well. So it can keep your legs moving with the assistance of the motor. The other huge benefit, though, is that if you don't want to pedal at all, no pedaling at all, they have throttles. And the throttles can be pressed with your thumb or twisted, depends.

There are two different options, either a twist throttle or a thumb throttle. So at this point, it becomes just like a mobility scooter. And you can push it and go. If you have a tricycle and three wheels, really very similar to a motor mobility scooter. Now a two-wheel e-bike, if you have that, you're basically on like an electric scooter. And now, like I said, sounds scary maybe to some of you, but you decide how fast or how slow you go. And of course, you can opt for those three wheels. I'm telling you, this is taking over as a way, a great activity for seniors to not only get exercise but also to socialize and connect. With other riders in the community, you can make a trip out of it, bring lunch, bring lunch somewhere ride to a restaurant or just take a long journey and stop along the way and have snacks. So it's a lot of fun and you don't have to worry about your balance or your leg strength because the motor can help you. There are also three-wheel options if you're not comfortable balancing on a two-wheel bike anymore. So I truly think it's a great activity for seniors.
