Does anyone here have a recommendation for a side-by-side adult trike or quad bike?

My parents want to be more active, but one has balance and knee issues, while the other has leg strength issues. If I could get them on one bike or e-bike I think they would cruise the town.

(One parent is oddly particular about having MTB tires as they live on a gravel bike trail 🤷🏼‍♂️)

@kaleb I know nothing about this but was curious for my parents, and can’t sleep. Some fascinating Google results:

@luis_in_brief interesting for sure.

I do get concerned about the quality/functionality of the design when I see parts out of place in the marketing materials, such as folding fishing boat seats on a cycle. Not a deal breaker, just a point of concern.

This is a space that I haven’t spent much time exploring, making it difficult to discern quality without seeing one in person.

@kaleb yeah these are definitely… small manufacturers. With all that entails about variability, quality, support.

@luis_in_brief

That said, that offering from BlackBirdBikes looks very similar to the SunSeeker side-by-side kit:
