The short answer is that Hase electric sounds perfect for his needs if he's
willing to spend the money. But I agree that trying a non-electric step-thru is
a good idea first to see if he's happy getting some exercise on a regular bike.

I rode a Greenspeed trike for quite a few years and loved it ... on smooth
roads. Tadpole trikes are much more stable for cornering than delta, but
they are like getting in and out of a low to the ground race car. Presuming
more sedate riding (not cornering at speed etc.), a delta trike is much
Adding to DP's admonition about low trikes (had one, NOT fun to get in and out
of), recumbents in general aren't awesome for bad knees on hills without a
motor. Your dad really might be better off tooling around on a Clem L to burn
some calories.

I'm a bit baffled how we were able to identify the perfect type/brand/model

cycling needs, wants and ambitions were stated. Maybe gobsmacked would be a
better description than "baffled". In any case, I'd strongly suggest a road

Perhaps this is part of the reason we're not understandi
I gave a short opinion because this isn't a recumbent forum and I know he can
get a vast amount of information at Bentrider Online and is no doubt already
reading it. I did not give a specific model recommendation, I merely agreed
with the OP that the Base delta trike with a motor is a very good

I agree with Joe. If your Dad is not in great shape, a motor could be a
great bridge. You can also check out Electric Bike Review. They have a
category for electric trikes and some are upright.

Thank you for the suggestions and thorough responses. If he knew, my Dad
would be embarrassed, and thankful that all of you chimed in to help.
