    Conversion kit for a trike?

    The reason some of the Mission trikes appeal is because they have a range of semi-recumbent (a*se not too close to towpath puddles and nettles!) and upright models as well as those with lots of adjustability of handlebars and seat angles and heights. I don't want speed so it would be silly to...

    Conversion kit for a trike?

    :D I don't claim to be particularly coordinated, but after ten years living and cruising on a narrowboat, where the tiller really does get pushed to the left to turn the boat right, I think I'll grasp steering a trike. My reaction times having spent a decade at 4mph or less, are an entirely...

    Conversion kit for a trike?

    Yes, I have a disability. Neurological problems which affect my balance. Two wheels are definitely out. I've not actually ridden a bike since I was about 11 and that was a two wheeler, 30-odd years ago. My neurological impairments were only acquired 3 years ago so I'll be pretty much learning to...

    Conversion kit for a trike?

    By the way, I'm not doing too great at finding somewhere in the Midlands yield I can try some out. I don't care if they don't have the facilities to ride them around, but I do need to be able to sit on some trikes to get a feel for posture and handlebar positioning. Especially as I'm torn...

    Conversion kit for a trike?

    I'm aiming to buy an electric tricycle. I'm not sure whether to opt for a trike with the electric motor already built in - there doesn't seem to be very much choice of these in the UK, or keep my options open regarding the style and comfort of the trike itself by opting for a non powered trike...

    Midlands showroom to try out trikes?

    Hi everyone. I know I want an electric tricycle not a bike and I live near Atherstone in North Warwickshire. Can anyone recommend somewhere that has a range of trikes that can be at least sat on in the showroom so I can get a feel for them? Thanks :)

    Hallo from Warwickshire

    The reason I want a trike and not a bike is because I have balance problems due to a complicated neurological condition. It also gives me metabolic issues resulting in fatigue, hence wanting electric assistance. I've a list of what I'm looking for so far: Trike with handlebars Either upright...

    Hallo from Warwickshire

    Hi everyone, Total noob to the world of electric cycles here. I've been looking at battery assisted tricycles mostly. I've seen a couple that I'd consider my "dream trikes" like the Van Raam Easy Rider, but of course they have a price tag to match of £5500+. My alternative options are between...
