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.
Older people may need to sit as often as they stand when traveling. The standing pose is forced upon us with both traditional standing scooters, as well as their counterpart most commonly referred to as a Segway. The basic design involves only two wheels with an upright handle.
There are some models which are made to fit an adult body. However, most of the skateboard-style scooters have an upright handle that is just low enough to require the rider to assume a stooped posture. This position is not going to foster comfort, and the greater the discomfort, the greater the danger of an accident.
The skateboard style scooters can go around 8 to 12 mph when fully charged, which means their operator is responsible for keeping an eye out for pedestrians traveling on his or her stretch of pavement. The tricycles are able to carry larger batteries and have larger wheels, so some can max out at 18 to 24 mph. The faster the rider, the more serious the injuries which can occur if they are distracted by aches and pains.
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.
Rear-view mirrors, as well as basic breaking systems can be included. Breaks are often not included in the scooter design, but as they become a greater part of the city scene, the need for it increases. Since people operate them in an environment with both pedestrians automobiles, and the rider should be able to stop on a dime.
As any bicycler or motorcycle rider knows, the horn is a key safety feature, and tricycles love to make their horns look and sound as ridiculous as possible. For those of us who still love the night-life, a headlamp and rear lights come standard. Some of us punk-rock gods might ornament our wheels with LED rope with hopes that we can be seen from space.
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.
