Your whole life it has been relatively easy to be able to go outdoors and walk wherever you want. Walk the neighborhood, walk the dog, go to the park, even walk to the store sometimes.
Being over 55 years old , we have more time, also we have also put on some weight. You start to realize its time to use the proven health benefits of being outdoors. Staying active and getting some exercise even accompanying your family or friends outdoors is important.
However some people have the small niggles that come with our health deteriorating or our movement is restricted due to hip or knee problems.
Previously the mobility options could be limited to wheel chairs or mobility scooters to be able to enjoy the outdoors. While these options may be inevitable when we reach the point where we can not balance easily or are too frail and need assistance with every day activities.
Since you are still in relatively good health, but you are just restricted by previous injuries or limited movement of your lower limbs.
Over the past few years additional options are now available.
While we have been manufacturing electric moped bikes for several years, we have redesigned them specifically for Seniors.
The new senior’s model from the market leader
Designed and built for USA market

What makes it a senior friendly bike?
One of the first 2 wheel electric mobility scooters built specifically for Seniors. Designed and built to offer an alternative electric mobility scooter.
With:
World first 3 speed control, latest 2 wheel design, easy to ride, full suspension, wide comfortable seat.
Easy to get on and off.
Full suspension
Easy to maneuver
Operate at walking speed

1. Many requests for an alternative electric mobility scooters.
Our distributors told us they had many requests from people with knee and hip problems. They felt they were too young for a three or four wheel electric mobility scooter.
They wanted an alternative to have more be able to enjoy the outdoors with their family and get around easily.
2. We received feedback due to the increase of power in our bikes people wanted more control.
People wanted to be able to learn at their own pace.
They wanted to be able to operate it while accompanying someone walking and also to fully control the power when in crowded places.
We designed the worlds first walking bike and built a 3 speed system that gives you full control, with 3 individual settings with full throttle control for each setting.
We even decided to include reverse gear.
3. The Feedback was most electric bikes were not designed for larger or more mature people
We recieved feedbackfrom the Distributors that people wanted a bike with wider seat since they were not as athletic as they used to be.
They needed a low center of the bike to make it easy to get on and off.
They also wanted full suspension to make it more comfortable to ride.
I would like to read more information.
We had many inquiries from our distributors for a modified senior friendly bike.
We spoke to many senior’s or people with knee or Hip problems that restrict walking, they said it seemed the choice was nearly down to the four-wheel handicapped style vehicles.
While many said they were getting older, most did not see themselves using these just to get outdoors.
We spoke to many people who would like to try to use 2 wheel electric mobility scooters to be able to be outdoors, but felt restricted with hip and knee problems so using a bike is difficult because the top bar is not easy to get your leg over.
Other people told us they worried about the power and being able to control the bike easily.
Being a senior citizen myself I decided to design a bike that anyone could ride every day in comfort, one that made it easy to re-learn riding a two wheeler and easy to control in different environments.
This led to the development of the Evolts-O3 Series electric mobility scooters.
So what’s different about this electric 2 wheel electric mobility scooters from the standard Evolts-V3 specification?
We began with the battery, while the battery can be recharged on the bike, it does have a removable battery.
Instead of the Silicon Gel battery which is 24lb, for the Evolts-O3 we specified a Lithium Battery which is light around 10lb.
So it is easy to remove when not in use.
We fitted a new LED speedometer which shows larger view of battery capacity and speed, making it easier to read than the previous speedometer.
Most importantly we produced a new three-speed controller, this enables the use of different speeds and power.
On the first setting it maintains about 5 MPH.
This makes it easy to follow someone learning to ride, or for people learning to ride the Evolts-O3 Model themselves.
The second setting enables 10 MPH so if the person they are following is a bit more experienced they can still follow easily.
It is also a good setting for people to gain more experience on the Evolts-O3.
The third setting is for normal full use, This enables the Evolts-03 to be operated at full power.
We have included much more information below:
Set Speed to
5 MPH, 10 MPH or 20 MPH
Set your own comfort level
Three Speed Control
With the 30% increase of power in Evolts from Version one to version two.
Less experienced riders told us the electric assist has made the Evolts model harder to learn to ride or more difficult when using the bike at lower speeds.
So we developed a new 3 speed controller and system for the electric mobility scooters.
Setting one: Set to approx. 5 MPH.
While you are re-learning to ride, this is helps to keep the bike acceleration under control. The decreased throttle response makes it easier to move slowly.
Once you gain confidence, the setting allows you to pedal along with the bike at about 50/50% to get some exercise without straining yourself.
This setting is useful if you want to ride your electric mobility scooters, while someone is walking next to you and adjust the speed with the pedals or the throttle. Removing the fear of taking off too fast.
It’s also helpful in public areas where restricted speed is necessary.
Setting Two: Is set to about 10mph.
Once you get used to the bike it helps you to increase the speed gradually. As well as being useful in some public areas or in neighborhoods or communities that require you to ride your electric mobility scooters at slower speeds.
Setting three is 20mph or full power, after you have been riding for a while and have full confidence or going up hills you now have access to full power.
This three speed system will makes it a more Senior’s friendly bike and easier to control for many activities at lower speeds.
Latest LED Speedometer for your electric mobility scooters.
We have now introduced the latest Digital speedometer.
The feedback on the last version’s was that the information displayed was too small the see easily while riding.
It now has:
- Clear display of the speed.
- Larger display of the battery capacity remaining.
- With a odometer to be able to monitor the total distance.
- Large display that is easy to read day or at night.
- It has indicator lights and high beam warning built in.
More Lithium battery options
The Evolts-O3 electric mobility scooters series model comes standard with a Lithium battery.
For seniors we wanted to provide a lighter battery when they remove the battery from the bike.
Apart from the standard battery we have 2 options.
The Evolts-O3 model 14ah lithium battery is a lighter and has enough range for most applications.
The options are as follows:
1. A 20 ah lithium battery that adds about 40% range from the standard Lithium battery for people needing extended range.
2. A 28 ah lithium battery that doubles the range from the standard 14 ah lithium battery, for people needing extended range or do not want to charge the battery as often.
We have a table with approx range differences between batteries.
We have manufactuered thousands of Version One and Two these were marketed through GIGABYKE.
Below are some links to video showing Version one and version 2 comparisons.
