Well
I do have to think that one day I will indeed be too old to ride , which may be hard to believe as I think I will be able to ride until the day I die, but if this is not to be them the answer my friend is t blowing in the wind , but is in the picture above.
I better start to save some money though as this thing will cost me.more.than I have ever spent on a motorbike.
Let's hope it's a few years down the line.

This thing is battery operated
And it goes as fast as 8mph.
It's a disability scooter, and they are a big rip off but do give people some independence

@JimBo452020 Yes they must be cheaper than the car.

I am sure that these things will be on the streets of India before long and will be much cheaper than they are here.

@JimBo452020 - I fully agree with you, I showed to my husband who said that it's insane to let something like that on the roads.

I'm not sure you wouldn't get run over by a car driver who was on the phone.
I can't believe these things seem to be allowed on the roads

It seems like it will be very cramped in there. What is this thing called?

I think it would be fun to own, however I don't see enough room in there for you and Yvonne both. But stranger things have happened. Honestly, I think if you reach that stage, a small car would be a lot more comfortable, but what do I know, anyway?

I will hang on to being a biker for as long as I can.
But a car is the obvious way to go when the time comes

I would think a car would be more comfortable during inclement weather, and extreme heat or cold.

Well I think so.
But then again I have done about 500 miles in the last 6 days and loved every mile
If I keep liking doing it I will keep doing it.
Maybe many will be many

@JimBo452020 Things, like driving, I used to love . . . now I kinda dread it. I don't know if I can handle road trips anymore . . . I mean, I think I can, but it IS getting harder.

I wish I shared your optimism.
It's getting to be hard work now.
Another 140 miles yesterday.
A bit more pain today.

Once I am actually on the bike I love it just as much as I always have.
But thinking about actually doing it is problematic.
But hey, summer is here and I am quite positive about it now.
1000 miles in last 2.weeks with more to come

I saw a vehicle something like that the other day. I might be a bit worried driving it around.. It doesn't look like it would go very fast.

8mph
I think the electric motor can be tweaked and 15mph is possible.
But it might not be so stable going a bit faster
