Having a lot of trouble walking these past few months, getting worse over time. So to help adapt to the new me I picked up an electric bike. Nice and quiet and looks pretty cool too I think. Getting it ready to ride for me, legs are so stiff I have to use a stepstool to get my leg over. Have a cart I may mount as as a sidecar, we'll see. And because of how much I fall wife said I need a helmet so I got one of those too [Linked Image]

Nice low seat should keep you off of the nut bar. You guys thinking of getting one make sure you ride it first they are NOT one size fits all trust me I learned the hard way.

You might consider one of the swivel/trunion type of trailer couplers instead of the sidecar deal.
They follow well and gets you through narrower places.
I like the headgear too !
Cool !

Headgear rocks.

If you got some spare time . . . how 'bout a paint job?

Interesting new rig, should work pretty slick for you. Let us know what you think after a few outings with it.
BTW.....nice looking Marlin across the handlebars - out of curiosity what caliber is it ?
Best wishes

I keep having dreams where I have an electric motorcycle. It's always red and mostly plastic. It frequently starts running out of power going up hill. It can be from full sized to kid sized in the dreams.

I do kind of want one.

I like the looks of your bike.

Thanks for all the good words appreciate it , The more I think on it trailing behind would be better and is already set up that way. The Marlin is just a .22, nice little gun

What brand MT?

I mentioned these things to a bicycle guy.
Was surprised he was receptive
and didn't go purist.

I bought it second hand but it's real good shape, some small dent in the headlight casing that's it holds a charge long time. I think it's a Revi Cafe Racer Fat Tire E Bike or something like that, I checked and they don;t have that exact model anymore It retailed for over $3000 I got it for $500 , my offer , his asking price was reasonable but he said OBO so I made him an offer he couldn't refuse, actually I think he gave an old crippled man a break, he got it when a roommate skipped out on rent so he wasn't out any thing, win win, I just got ot get on it reliably

If I had the time that would be fun, take the pedals off and ride it throttle only, make a fake motor cover , paint or even keep the paint it has,reminds me of an old Harley or Indian in wwII or even the first I think. I thought it was cool, not as practical perhaps as a trike but this one is way cooler and cheaper
