I have been a motorcycle enthusiast for 45 years, kinda seeing the end of the line here, I don't have 100% of anything anymore, and you can get in big trouble in a hurry in an instant.
SO, I kind of got the bug for an EBike. Turns out there is a network of trails going 700 miles from the mountains in Asheville NC to Nags Head NC. I passes within 2 miles of my home, all divided into cool segments.
In seeking out a suitable steed, I went for battery power, motor power and speed, all with a motorcycle-ish feel. I settled on an Ariel Rider x-52, which I am really enjoying. Plenty of fun. I have only put a couple of hundred miles on it, but I am stoked about how far I can "adventure" in a very short period. I also took it to DC (hometown)and putted around there a bit.
I also got my wife one (a CO-OP 1.1) in hopes we'd be able to do something together now that we're both retired.

Not a senior, but I've ridden motorcycles on five different continents, including the Arctic Circle.
I've crossed the North American Continent five times, even pedaled across once, before time of cell phones.
Many more motorcycles came & went; nowadays, I just kept the ones that are practical & reliable.
