What Do Seniors REALLY Think About E-Bikes? First-Time Reactions from Adults over 60 on E-Bikes!!

Constance: Oh my god, this is so fun! Go faster! Oh no, I'm just teasing.

Phyllis: Isn't that great?

Constance: Oh my gosh.

Phyllis: Look how well it steers too.

Constance: We're going to San Diego. We can do it.

Howard: Oh yeah, yeah. You know, I think I like this one even. This one's very unique.

Dustin: Yeah?

Howard: Because, yeah, because I could, it's nice to use your legs a little bit. because I want to pump my heart. So I could use the pedals and then the speed combo was just perfect.

Dustin: Felt smooth.

Howard: Oh, amazing.

Dustin: Oh boy.

Phyllis: Should I have done that?

Dustin: That's okay. Just ease into the throttle.

Phyllis: Okay, sorry.

Dustin: Make a loop. Now, I suggest to my dad to raise the seat a little bit so he could get a little bit better leg extension, but he wants to be closer to the ground. His choice. There he goes.

Dustin: Now, use the throttle. Just give it a little bit. Yeah. A little more. Oh. 

there you go so you can utilize the throttle to get up and down the hills to navigate tight spaces.

Howard: Oh yeah, okay. When you're riding the bike I don't want to be too focused on the bike. I want it to free me up so I can look around.

Dustin: And this one felt the easiest where you could do that.

Howard: Exactly.

Dustin: So now you twist the throttle.

Constance: Watch this. Yeah, but it makes your legs go around the wall. Okay.

Dustin: And getting on and off for you is easy, right?

Constance: Oh, yeah. Yes. But first, it has to get parked.

Dustin: Oh yeah, just pull the brake with one hand and push the button down with your other hand.

Constance: Oh. Is that it? Do you see that?

Dustin: Well done.

Constance: It's low so I can get on and off it very easily.

Dustin: Perfect.

Phyllis: Wow, this one's got a lot of pep. 

Dustin: All right, so you said that one feels faster.

Phyllis: Yeah, for some reason it just…

Dustin: It is a little lighter than the other ones.

Phyllis: Is it? Okay.

Dustin: Tell everyone when you got on it the first time why you fell in love with this one so much.

Constance: I really, I can't explain it except it didn't make me afraid to try an e-bike. And once I got going, I didn't want to get off it. It's very safe. I think the seat, I think it's the seat. Oh, yeah. And it's got little armrests. If you want to do that, cruise that way. But when you're closer to 100 than to 50, you got to take care of yourself and feel very, very safe.

Phyllis: I mean, I enjoyed the different features of each of them. I like this one for the maneuverability, manageability, speed, and just fun factor. But Constance’s right. I did have an affinity for this one. I did, because it had to get up and go the stability, but also how fun is it to have, you know, somebody in the backseat.

Dustin: Yeah.

Phyllis: So that was cool. Although now I'm waffling.

Dustin: You like this one too.

Phyllis: Yeah. This one, I love the idea. Steady, sturdy, but still pep. And you can... put, you know, groceries in there or your trained cat. Do I have to pick a favorite?

Dustin: Well, you can, I mean, you don't have to.

Phyllis: Maybe this one. Okay. I'm going to pick this one.

Dustin: Constance at 81 loved the Simple Glide and Phyllis at 67 liked the Fat Tire Etrike, but she's waffling. She also liked the Simple Glide and the EvryJourney on her right here as well. If you have any other questions, reach out to us at theteam@sixthreezero.com or call us at 310-982-2877.
