E-bikes help older adults keep their independence

81-year-old Helena Worthen, who lives in the Berkeley Hills, can be found riding her e-bike on the Monterey Avenue bike lane, en route to the Monterey Market.

“The e-bike makes the hills go away,” Worthen said, “and it doesn’t use gas. But it’s fun and easy and replaces the car.” She even uses the bike to tote her cello.

Worthen, along with her husband, Joe Berry, 76, likewise used “regular bikes” for leisure and groceries.
