i guess i will just have to see what he wants to spend....i found a single speed 3 wheeler at walmart for $250 , but a 3 spd. would be better imo..and the bike shop said they can change the main gear to help with the gearing advantage but the 3 spd. was $480 (better bike of coarse) and the electric conversion they sell/install would get this bike to about $1500 total with the bike....

i know if i did it with a single speed and did the conversion myself i can do it much cheaper

i am just in the research stage now
