Why a trike? In my case age and health have taken their toll on my legs, endurance and more recently my sense of balance. I have ridden on two wheels regularly all of my life, both bicycles and motorcycles, but lately I've become a bit wobbly and have even scared myself a few times. I've decided to try a trike and am currently in the process of putting one together. I have acquired a Schwinn tricycle and a front hub motor kit and am putting the two together. Hopefully this combination will provide me the means of going to the store for groceries and through the park on nice days for the simple enjoyment of getting out and about in spite of my limitations. I'll let you know how this works out...
