Urbanites have embraced the function, savings, and environmental benefits of utilizing rechargeable scooters as a primary means of transportation. This is primarily an urban uprising, but it has been happening all over the world. However, the areas where these scooters are problematic can be solved with an electric tricycle.
Children of all ages love the accelerated pace of a power scooter, and they do not seem to mind that it makes them stand up all day. Us older folks are wise to this though, and we know sitting comfortably ensures a safer ride home. We did not jump on the fad right away because we prefer sitting to standing when traveling our favorite city.
Balancing on both powered models is problematic for many people, and this becomes more true the older one gets. Traditional scooters force the rider to stand throughout their journey, and everyone knows it is more difficult on the body to stand still than to walk. For someone who has already worked a twelve-hour shift, or fifty years of twelve-hour shifts, this standing pose promotes stiffness and pain.
Even if the model is designed to fit a taller adult, it is still standing. Discomfort creates distractions just as dangerous as a cell phone or the loose dog down the street. Older people really cannot risk having an accident, especially since the tricycles are sometimes designed to go faster than scooters or their Segway counterpart.
Anyone riding upon such a contraption must be aware of the same dangers as any pedestrian. Only difference is, this pedestrian is moving at 8 to 15 mph, able to pass bicycles going uphill, and certainly capable of getting into catastrophic accidents. The older the rider, the more catastrophic the injuries are likely to be.
Tricycles allow the rider/driver to sit in an upright pose that promotes greater alertness to their environment. A nice round seat, probably chosen to match the size of their own bum, is the most ideal scenario for a long day of site seeing in the city. Even if one has lost their driving license for motor cars twenty years prior, they are still able to safely motor themselves to whatever destination they set their sites on.
Since we are all notorious thrill seekers, breaks are a required element of the tricycles we speed about on. Scooters have not always included much of a breaking system, and this limits the operator to being a rider instead of a driver. Since there is the welfare of pedestrians, as well as the well-being of the rider/driver at stake, it only makes sense that one have adequate breaking availability at eight miles per hour.
A horn is a basic standard safety feature as well, and can potentially be the most fun safety feature ever. Trumpet horns are the most common, but there are other styles available. Headlamp and rear running lights come standard, but the addition of any other lights for night driving can only improve the visibility of and for the driver.
Unfortunately, the one safety feature that cannot be bought is sense enough to hold the front wheel with both hands. Tricycles are generally stable when ridden properly, as it is based on a tripod structure. However, not every rider understands that their body makes part of the tripod, and without a foot on each pedal and a hand on each handle, the intended design is incomplete.
