Maybe 70-something might be old ... but 50-something is nowhere near old yet.
This type of attitude is part and parcel of the problem.
Telling others when change is right for them based on your own life isn't right, nor is buying an e-bike somehow being a quitter.
If that's what the guy wants to do, or feels he needs to do, then it is up to him. Nobody said anything about walkers or rocking chairs. Walkers and rocking chairs are not e-bikes.
I met a 103 year old Trappist monk who used a walker. No one ever accused him of "throwing in the towel."
