Folding 21" Tricycle for 75 year old?

Any experience with this for a Grandma for flat bike paths?
Seems like it reduces odds of a crash injury

Actually, that one is 45 lbs, and is too heavy to load into car.

Is there a lightweight folding bike you can suggest?

Has to be loaded into a car often?

Or would a bike rack or one of those luggage carriers that you fit into the receiver for a trailer drawbar be good enough? Of course that assumes the car has a receiver for a drawbar on it.

Yea, bike rack probably makes most sense, now that I think about it.

I retired from the bicycle industry a couple years ago. I don't recall any vendor offering a folding tricycle but I can wholeheartedly tell you that buying a bicycle from Walmart would be a mistake!
