electric motor for bicycle

[sirineou]

My FIL has a Three wheel bicycle,with a basket on the back, he lives just outside the ring road in Khon Kaen. He uses the bicycle to go to a small farm he plays around in, near his house a few miles away. He is about seventy years old.

I don;t like him pedaling all the way there, and back in the hot sun, and he does not want to learn to drive a motor bike or car, otherwise I would buy him a motorbike a took took, used pick up truck or what ever he wants. He is happy with his bike.

I am not in Thailand now and will not be there for at least a few months maybe a lot longer doe to work.and my wife is no help.

So my question is, is there a shop in Khon Kaen that would install a rechargeable electric motor that would make his trek to the farm a little easier

Thank you all for any info on the subject

Get one of those "Golf cart" thingy's that'll do the job you want.

Thank you all for your suggestions and links

as I said, he already has one, it is one of the three wheel kind, it has a utility basket in the back where he carries tools and other things, I have not seen any of those sold anywhere that are motorised. That's why I am exploring the possibility of motorizing this one.

The golf cart idea sounds interesting, any ideas where in Khon kaen I could buy one?

I did a google search for golf carts Khon Kaen but all I got was golf clubs

I guess Bangkok would be a better place to look but the logistics are difficult.
