A trike, or mobility scooter type device would suit my condition but they all look terrible. The Greenspeed recumbent trikes look great, and i would love an electric version or a kit for one.
Trikes and older riders are part of the target market. I understand your particular problem but I've also seen an 82 year old Grandma out in the CBD on her wicked MTB with full suspension with her mates. You just never know do you ?
Recumbents are another area being investigated.
