Balance problems?

Wife and 26 yr old daughter each went for a fun ride. No problems. But I feel unsteady driving it in the back yard. 49cc motor doesn't have enough power to hurt me but I dunno, maybe I'm worried over nothing.

My husband bought a similar bike, same colour, 15 years before PD he absolutely loved it! Changed and updated it every few years, toured France several times with it. Just a few years before diagnosis he was gradually having a few issues - mainly balance on the bike and eventually had to sell it. ☹️

Went for a 30 minute ride, a little trouble staying in my lane, luckily no on-coming traffic. Is this a form of festination?? I'm guessing it'll get better with practice.

Might be! I would be a little cautious on the road. My husband doesn’t have balance issues when walking, but did find balancing and manoeuvring the bike parking at the front of our house increasingly difficult. So really it was mostly when driving slowly.

Oh my goodness, I wouldn't take any chances. You can get really hurt.
