I suggest some type of 3-wheeler... if you ride you're going to fall. One fall on my bike put me on the couch for 2 months. After 7+ years on an ebike, I have several injuries that I feel daily, and my shins look like... I can't even think of anything they look like. If you ride you are going to fall. IDK about you but I don't heal like I did 6 decades ago. You don't have to be on two wheels to have the sensation of riding. If money isn't a huge concern maybe a 3-wheel tandem would be best for both of you. Or just a single bike that you can both share until you start wanting to ride daily. Food for thought. Stay safe.My husband and I are 74 and looking a comfortable, simple to use e-bike for around town with gentle hills. Like keep the price below $1500. Any recommendations?
I second the recommendation for a step through. I think a class 2 bike would be sufficient. Comfort seat with post suspension would be good. Also one with fenders and wired lights. The blix Skyline is only a few hundred over your target price and gets good reviews, although maybe a bit heavy.My husband and I are 74 and looking a comfortable, simple to use e-bike for around town with gentle hills.

I recently had a friend call my step thru ebike a "girl's bike".........I slapped him silly.I second the recommendation for a step through. I think a class 2 bike would be sufficient.

I'm 57 yo. Still fit and active no problem swinging my leg over to saddle up. To be honest I still refer to step thru bikes girls bike.
Short story, I grew up with two older sisters we all have bikes Roger de Coster BMX for me Huffy step thru for them. One day my bike had a flat tire so I hop on one of my sister's bike to buy inner tube and upon returning my father saw me on the bike. First thing he said to me was "What are you doing riding a girls bike" in his native language. I guess he was in disbelief that his only son was riding a girls bike.
That's why I still call step thru Girls Bike.
But anyone can ride them. Perhaps even me ten years from now.
I am in my 70s and went with a 2000 watt hub motor and a medium quality MBT frame. Kind of wish I had more torque for the hill leading up to my house.
It's easier to get on my step thru ebike when I am wearing my skirt and heels.......it ain't a girl's bike! LOL!I'm 57 yo. Still fit and active no problem swinging my leg over to saddle up. To be honest I still refer to step thru bikes girls bike.
