Greg has some minor mobility issues, so we are looking at purchasing a folding electric bike for him to use for getting aroung at the RV parks. Has anyone tried these? Any feedback appreciated.
I would be getting just a regular folding bike for myself ( I need the exercise, lol). We plan on storing both in the bottom storage of the 5th wheel.

Don't know if you had specific bike in mind.
Recently we ran into a couple, she had a 3 wheel and he had a scooter type electric. They said they had got them at camping world
I really liked his scooter. It was compact and folds down for storage. It's not a mobility scooter but a three wheeled run about. It was very quick. I think he said it was in th $700 range.
Her 3wheel bike looked like a traditional 3wheeler with a basket on the back. It folds and has an electric motor.
My DW also has mobility problems so we got her a mobility scooter and then bought a canopy for it so it looks like a miniature golf cart. My 93 year old dad also travels with us. We got him a mobility scooter with canopy. We carry one in the bed of our truck and the other one goes on an a automatic rack at the back of the 5th wheel.

This is an old post, so I'll assume you found your bike! If not (or for others), I have the same need and have been researching. Here are a few links I've found so far:

I'm also looking for a place that has a showroom so I can try out different models.
