I am enquiring about E-Trikes for example https://www.wattwheels.co.nz/product-page/e-trike-ls-xt

I would like to hear about experiences with these, ease of use etc and in particular balance and tipping risks

Thanks heaps

There's a good group on FaceBook called "Electric Riders NZ" that has a couple of e-Trike riders in the group.

I'd suggest hitting them up for advice.

@Handsomedan I had a look at the FB site and it seems to be more targeted to younger and more able folk except for the crazy guy balancing a wheelchair on a e-board.

Yes..that was completely my bad. Sorry about that.

I realised after I had posted the above comment and then clicked on your link...that guy on a wheelchair on an electric skateboard is MAD!
