From transforming daily commutes to bridging the gap for non-cyclists, e-bikes are the most significant evolution in cycling since the mountain bike—and that’s a win for all.
Like every other time I ride the major trail near me, I see an old couple in their 60s+ riding a bicycle built for two, and they don’t seem to have any problems aside from getting started from a dead stop.
I would think they’re fine as long as there aren’t any shoddy welds. And there has to be good communication between the riders since front rider steers and rear rider has the brakes.

Are bicycles built for two safe in the first place?
