When I was a student at Gettysburg College, there was an elderly lady from town who used a trike to get around. She was beyond the ability of using a bicycle and perhaps having a drivers license, but the trike afforded her unlicensed mobility and probably added a few years of life because of the exercise.
This isn't your grandmother's trike. The RAPTOR is powered by lead acid batteries energizing an electric motor and/or foot power. A “Sunbrella” solar canopy is in the works for trickle charging off the grid when parked in the sun.
The gas free, license free (corporate and government free) people mover can reach a speed of 25 mph.
