MS sufferer

[joe67]

Hi i am looking at getting an e bike for exercise but I suffer with MS and my balance is not as good as it once was. Any suggestions or advice on what to get would be great

Stabilisers are an option: These fit many e-bikes, but others/cheaper versions are available too.

An option that is not cheap.

Two forum members managed to get grants from the MS society for a significant contribution to their electric bikes.

If you can afford it, a recumbent trike would be a good solution. add your own electric kit or buy one ralready electric (more expensive):

Starting on a hill may be a problem, one with a throttle or hub gears? Parkinson's and restricted vision problem.

We don't know if Joe ever got sorted as no further posts. But as mentioned in #3 Pete's versatile load carrying trike is for sale.
