I have thought of getting an adult trike bike, but my knees are too bad for me to be able to make the pedalling motions any more. I used to ride two wheelers, but that was before my knees got bad. I have considered getting an electric trike bike, though, with hand pedal controls (instead of foot pedals) for an emergency back up. I looked into the sit down electric motor scooters for handicapped adults, but they are heavy, and because of that, they are really not that portable by car. Even when disassembled, some of the parts are very heavy, and too heavy for me to manage. They can fit a car with a lift for the scooter, but then there wouldn't be room in the back for groceries. I'm not sure if the trike bikes would work out though, as I don't know if they are easy to disassemble/ reassemble for transporting by car. I am not a very handy person. I have looked into the rolling walkers. My mother had one years ago before she passed away, and it had a fold down seat that she could rest on as needed. Those fold like a stroller, and are not too heavy for me to manage, as I had to do that for my mother when I took her places. Unfortunately, the companies that make them don't make the right size for me. They make ones for short thin and average people, ones for average height/average weight people, and ones for tall average, and tall fat people. However, they don't make any for short, very fat people. It might be possible for my younger brother to put more holes in the upright part of the handle/legs lower down, so that I could adjust the handles lower. I will have to look into that.
