A few years ago my wife and I bought two Catrikes brand recumbent tricycle. After having three cirvical fusions in her neck my wife can no longer ride a bicycle. The Catrikes a really fun to ride. Yes, I have rolled mine by turning to quickly. About a year ago we added electric motors made by Bionx. We can now ride further (we are in our mid-60s), but we do worry a lot about not being seen by auto drivers.
