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."

There is such a thing as "throwing in the towel mentally" which increases the older you get. There are many who will say "you should be a bit easier on yourself
at your age . . . " with the best of intentions. Because your mind will always gravitate towards the softer option. I've had all that from my lot. But I know that to stagnate at my age is to curl up and die.
If you feel things are slowing up and becoming harder, best to check out your health and take it from there..
