Physical distancing, for many of us, means making changes to everyday routines as a way to reduce close contact with other people. This may mean you try to avoid larger gatherings and crowded places like subways, buses or trains, fight the urge to reach out for a handshake, limiting your contact with higher risk people like elderly or with poor health and keeping a distance at least 2 meters from other people whenever possible.
GETTING AROUND WHILE AVOIDING CROWDS
It will be interesting to see how much things change as this pandemic progresses, but one thing is for sure, it will likely impact how cities manage public transportation. Maybe you have to get to work, or to the store to do some shopping, but the thought of getting onto a crowded bus or subway makes you nervous. What are your options?
In parts of Europe and China there is already a significant move towards biking and walking with up to a 150% increase in some cases. This includes increased uptake and reliance on electric bikes, scooters and other micro mobility electric vehicles. We are starting to see some of this uptake here in Canada as well. All you have to do is look outside at the number of people on bikes or on foot.
Cities across the world are starting to dedicate more road space for cyclists and pedestrians. This will have a positive impact in the long run since human powered (or EEC Electric Vehicle assisted!) transportation like biking and walking is the cheapest to create infrastructure for and offers the highest amount of environmental and health benefits.
AN EEC ELECTRIC TRICYCLE OFFERS RIDERS FEATURES A REGULAR BIKE DOESN’T
STABILITY
Three wheel EEC ELECTRIC TRICYCLEs for adults are very stable in most scenarios. When riding, the rider does not need to maintain a minimum speed to balance the trike to keep from tipping over like you would on a traditional bicycle. With three points of contact on the ground an e-trike will not tip over easily when moving slowly or at a stop. When the trike rider decides to stop, they just apply the brakes and stop pedalling. The e-trike will roll to a stop without needing the rider to balance it when standing still.
CARGO CARRYING CAPACITY
While there are plenty of cargo options and bags for two wheel bicycles,the extra wide wheelbase on an e-trike for seniors makes them able to carry heavier amounts of cargo. All of our EEC ELECTRIC TRICYCLEs come with front and rear cargo racks and bags. Some models can even tow a trailer which further increases the amount of cargo the trike can carry.
HILL CLIMBING
Electric three wheel trikes, when combined with a suitable motor and gears are better than traditional two wheel bicycles when it comes to climbing hills. On a two wheel bike the rider must maintain a safe minimum speed to keep upright. On an e-trike you do not have to worry about balancing. The rider can put the trike in a low gear and pedal at a much more comfortable pace, climbing hills without the fear of losing their balance and falling over.
COMFORT
Electric tricycles for adults are often more comfortable than traditional two wheel bicycles with a more relaxed position for the rider and no additional effort required to balance. This allows for longer rides without spending extra energy balancing and maintaining a minimum speed.
