elizillaI had to sell my last sidecar rig in 2019. I couldn’t operate the clutch anymore. Plus it was just too big and heavy. I struggled to climb on and get my leg over, and with no reverse I had to climb off to push when backing up. It just got too hard.
But I am still sad.
So I keep looking at what’s out there. And this year I found something. It’s an electric scooter with a sidecar. Legally classified as a moped, it only goes 30mph. The range is pretty short. But my body’s range is also short, and sidecars are more tiring at higher speed. I live in a speed trap town, surrounded by 25mph streets. So I think I can live with these limitations, ride it on the road, close to home. The step through is easier to climb aboard, and it has reverse. And I love EVs.
Anyways, I have ordered it! It will take a while to get here, but hopefully it will come before spring.
