So long story short I'm out of an official job and opportunities are 20-30 miles away minimum.
I cannot afford a car right now and I don't want to pay the costs to own and operate one anyway.
I have a job ready for me about 24 biking miles away but I cannot reliably get there currently.
I made another thread a week or so ago asking about the difference between an ebike and an etrike on winter roads and I've decided on using a KMX tadpole recumbent trike kit as a base for my new vehicle because I can fit more battery and the weight is lower to the ground.
Plus it looks more fun I've found my E-bike to be unfun and unpleasant on 20+ mile commutes.
However I find myself lacking confidence on the larger question at hand. Can I use an E-trike to reliably get to work in New England winters? I can always use an Uber on the worst of days but I guess since I lack lacking driving experience I can't really guesstimate how Etriking 30miles in winter would work out practically.
Can anyone bestow their wisdom and experience upon me?
