There are disability adapted bikes that cover a wide range of physical disabilities (I've seen up to even only a single arm and head movements). I'm curious what disabilities would actually require exclusively a car for transportation and for which custom bikes wouldn't be enough, do you know of any ?
Bikes require to keep balance. Powered wheelchairs do not.
is the concept of a trike really that unfathomable to you?
There's one in the original picture too lol
You said bike
you will find that most people use "bicycle" as a general term for basically anything of vaguely that shape and function.
no one (and i use that in the modern sense of "effectively no one", before you um ackshually me on that) says "cargo tricycle", they say "cargo bike" or "bakfiets", and bakfiets just means "cargo/box bike".
Yeah, three-wheeled bikes still count as bikes imo, they're much closer to being bikes than cars.
But I have nothing against powered wheelchair obviously, they aren't cars.
