We had the same issue, but my DH could not handle using the bikes after a tiring day in the parks. Divesting of the bikes we purchased the Cricket (I believe they have a few models with different power/range features) and carry it on a hitch platform. Yes, it is expensive (there are some used ones for sale you could find) but it solves the problem of being tired and alert enough to ride the bikes. They are cheaper than golf carts, even used ones.

The mini golf cart is technically a personal mobility device--our model has no brake pedal, and has a top speed of 10-12 mph depending on the weight of the passenger(s). We have used ours in at least 15 states as we travel cross the country with it. We use it on sidewalks, and try to avoid using it on streets, but we have where the sidewalks were blocked. We have had NO issues using it, even past officers directing traffic. Only stopped once in the Florida Keys, and after showing it had no brake pedal we went on our merry way. So, even though $$$, we use it regularly, so it has been worth it and we would buy again if given the option.

We also carry in our basement a folding electric scooter (ours even comes apart into several pieces for ease of traveling with it) which my DH takes into the parks so he has more energy to spend with us at the end of each day.

When there is a will there is a way. Being less abled doesn't stop us from doing the things we both enjoy, but sometimes the work arounds are very creative!
