+1 for the etrike, (I have a emmo tropic C myself) I find cars respect me way more in it and I can pull way more awkward loads not having to worry about balance. I found an electric anything ends up giving me way more exercise than a regular bike, since I'll attempt trips I otherwise wouldn't because of steep hills or heavy loads.
Be careful the first time you go on tilted ground with it though. My instinct as a biker was to keep the bike perfectly upright, which obviously isn't how trikes work. I turned into the slope and ran into a wall. XD
