If yes, we want to invite you to participate in a collaborative study led by Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University) in partnership with Our Greenway and Toronto Council on Aging called: Expanding mobility options in northwest Toronto through micro-mobility for seniors - Examining activity space through an e-trike intervention.
Why is this study important? Our best hope to find new ways to make cities better for the older adults in our community and for future generations is through research. This study wants to understand the challenges and supports for older adults using e-cycles, and how urban planners, policymakers and community workers can implement community lending programs that provide access to micro-mobility solutions like cargo e-trikes! We want to see and hear how you move about your everyday life in your neighborhood of Northwest Toronto. By sharing your stories, you will help us make cities better for people of all ages, now and in the future.

A Cargo E-Trike Bike is a type of E-bike, or battery powered electric bicycle. It differs from the traditional E-Bike as it has a variation of 2-3 wheels and a sizable carrying compartment fastened at the front or back of the bike for carrying passengers or goods.
