I bought my first ebike when I was 77, I’m now almost 90, and wouldn’t be without it, it’s so much easier to get to where I need to go. It’s especially great for going shopping, I can get almost to the shops door, and carry loads home. You just need to keep your speed down.

Don't try to psyche us older folks out of eliminating our ebikes along with our livelihood. Ebikes add convenience and assistance for all of us in multiple ways. The industry will eventually create ways to minimize frame and motor weight to make ebikes lighter and more convenient, in the same way they did with automobiles as time goes on. They are here to stay.

Sometimes extra weight can help with overall stability at higher speeds on some ebikes. Proper care, operation, and safety measures are what eliminates the problem areas for riders any age. It's nonesense to think of eliminating them and going backwards to analog bikes instead of forward with assisted ones. Everything in life require some sort of limits.

Older folks need to know and adhere to the nessasary precautions for ebikes operation in general before purchasing. There are a lot of 70 yr olds that have ebikes and handle them with no problems because they did their research and got familiar with all the limiting factors. In the same way one would before going from driving a Honda Civic, to buying and driving a Ferrari. Being 60 or older doesn't arbitrarily constitute being less informed. "With great power comes great responsibility."
