My old man is looking for a trike so thought I'd stick a post here! He's after one with a car engine as he has no motorcycle licence (only driving license pre 2000). The machine would require a pillion bucket style seat to carry a disabled passenger, who would likley topple off a standard saddle.
Boom trikes seem best suited due to the design of the pillion seat:
However, the style of the trike is flexible and doesn't have to be the "low rider" look. The main objective is for a rear seat that is safe for a disabled passenger.
I will check in on this forum from time to time but otherwise don't hesitate to contact me via email: grantgammie@hotmail.com
how severe is the disablement im not selling mine but my wife has bad arthurites and with the goldwing armrests she falls asleep behind me dont rule out a bike trike yet as there ar people in wheelchairs riding bike trikes u might have to adapt them a bit but as long as u know it is possible
hope this helps u a bit

She's more or less physically sound, some weakness on her right hand side due to cerebral palsy.
Her disability is primarily mental and thus the seat would need to be safe because she'd be unable to comprehend leaning into corners and the like. Due to her disability she would also never be riding, just a passenger - hence the importance of the pillion seat.
The fact that your Mrs can fall asleep on the back of your trike would be a prime example of what we would need for Sarah.
