Bicycles go so fast they can be like non- electric motorcycles, which means a health hazard because they tip over and you are not very visible to the cars, but have to share the road with them. I just found out they make adult tricycles. Anyone use one? It seems like it could solve a lot of problems.

They can carry heavier loads, do hills better, don't tip, have greater traffic visibility, and sometimes have electric motors to assist with a full load. Seems easy to convert to solar powered and get around.

They have ones that fold: http://motorgenic.com/20-folding-adult-tricycle-trike-3-wheeler-bike-bicycle-portable-blue/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9JzoBRDjARIsAGcdIDWYOf6ofzwW_UuhupJHB2xWFU6SxXxIHhd_xixhHzrZTd2Bgb9eajwaAkWlEALw_wcB

They have ones with front loaders for kids and other objects: https://bunchbike.com/products/family-cargo-bike?variant=7687836991539¤cy=USD&matchtype=&network=g&device=m&keyword=&campaign=1650227750&adgroup=pla-536005838388&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9JzoBRDjARIsAGcdIDVTCAB7G6nu2EbU2dTTilwFrEtwljkOAbXFpQ1_tc2EUNvdrfvhHOAaAjCxEALw_wcB

And they can be electric, which means they can be solar charged: https://www.bpmimports.com/shop/bikes/t-950a-passenger/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw9JzoBRDjARIsAGcdIDVFhaS1Ls0VGz_AVWZHOmxI5qXyiIXZS0nqFgC88c9YIFNf-CpEfnEaAlheEALw_wcB




By the way, at last week i googled some new tricycle for my grandpa. Maybe this article https://www.bestadvisers.co.uk/adult-tricycle  also will be useful for you.

Funny that my grandpa didn’t like tricycle at young age. He tried to ride two-wheel bike after trying tricycle and he liked it after some falls and bruises. So his whole life he ride on average bicycle. But now he prefer tricycle because of his legs issue.

Now he even says  that trike has more advantages over two-wheel bike. And it easy to understand because a tricycle offers more stability than an average two-wheel bike; grandpa can't (almost) get out of balance on a tricycle, even if he cycle slowly;  а tricycle does not fall over when it is stationary; with a tricycle he can easily get on and off and a lot of other advantages.  

In my opinion if you need safe and healthy vehicle, tricycle - the best choice.
