I bought a rather expensive electric trike. Today, it was assembled by an expert, who hails from Israel. We had an interesting conversation about events in the Middle East.

The trike is huge. It is far harder to ride than I expected. It's much different from two wheels, that's for sure. The idea of a trike is great. Extremely stable, the electric model has plenty of power and can carry up to 50 kg as well as the rider. However, the steering is hypersensitive and it is easy to forget how wide the rear track is. So if anyone is thinking of getting one, keep these points in mind. I have no doubt that I'll get the hang of it. Eventually..............

I've been looking at e-bike conversion kits, for when I get old enough to not want to bike anymore. There are some truly insane people out there who will put a 3000 watt, 72 volt wheel on a road bike. 60 miles an hour (100 kilometers per hour, roughly) is not something I would want to do on a bike frame.

Better have your helmet on. Maybe some elbow and knee pads too.
