My wife doesn't like biking. I bought her an electric bike, so she and I can ride around. She kind of hates it. And I get totally frustrated by her slowness and refusal to try to keep up with my speed. She likes to go about 8 miles per hour and it drives me insane.
I used to let her ride behind me in the seat of my scooter (52v 750w). It works but it's a bit cramped and we look silly. Also, we exceed the recommended weight limit by about 60 lbs.
My thought was maybe to get a sidecar or a trailer for her to ride in. Something like this https://www.aosom.com/plap/aosom-wanderer-bicycle-bike-cargo-luggage-trailer-black~811.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw7IbaBRBqEiwA6AyZghUd1IjlXZmESo-vkHaymeTNKvqLRS_EyRBwySd4MGwabnM9vgKc1hoCKgcQAvD_BwE <---will that even work on a scooter (I have GigaByke Groove)?
So this trailer can carry 110 lbs (she is 108) and the trailer itself is 22 lbs. By now the scooter is pulling the weight from behind rather than carrying it on top. Is that better or worse for the scooter? I am not sure. I would probably want to go about 15mph max with a trailer.
I don't know if this is a good idea or a terrible one. Has anybody dealt with this kind of thing? Are there better solutions?
