Whats with the lack of ergonomic e-bike accessories designed specifically for senior riders? Every time I see a new product, its just a rehash of the same old designs with a senior-friendly label slapped on. Where are the grips that cater to arthritic hands, or the saddles that provide extra support for aging spines? And dont even get me started on the so-called comfort saddles that are just a fancy name for wider and softer.
Im calling out the manufacturers here - when are you going to start taking senior riders seriously and designing products that actually meet their needs? Its not just about slapping a senior-friendly label on a product and calling it a day. I want to see some real innovation and problem-solving.
For example, what about e-bikes with adjustable ergonomics that can be tailored to an individual riders needs? Or accessories that can be easily swapped out as a riders abilities change over time? And what about integrating safety features that can help prevent accidents, such as automatic emergency braking or blind spot detection?
Its time for the e-bike industry to step up and start designing products that truly cater to the needs of senior riders. Im not asking for much, just some actual thought and consideration put into the design process. So, manufacturers, whats the holdup?
