d8veh, thank you for thinking of this. The MS centre is going to help me with grant applications.

Good News: I visited my local MS centre and they just happen to have a Draisin Shopi that I can try. It belongs to one of the other members of the centre, but they are storing it for her. It is an upright tadpole and the front axle folds/compresses so I think I would be able to get it in and...

Thank you all for the excellent suggestions I don't think I can cope with 1. A delta trike because my declining spatial memory means I'm finding it harder and harder to judge spaces with my delta layout mobility scooter 2. A cargo trike as I think they will all be too wide. My front door is...

so maybe I'm looking for something that doesn't exist, with a good reason for it not to exist

Tony. My front door is 80cms I have a mobility scooter that is 74cm. It is a large 3-wheeler (delta layout) and I struggle to not scrap it or the door & doorframe on the way through, which is what made me think a tadpole trike would suit me better. A bike with a noomad system will not...

Tony, yes I love the look of the noomad, others have said it looks ugly but I disagree, it is not ugly in the way that so much disability equipment is I did have the thought of buying a bike from noomad, as I love their low flat step through & the noomad system, as it is narrower and so would...

Thanks Dave, I have a mobility scooter and that gets me out in the wind and air., but it doesn't get my body moving. When I get to the gym I'm okay once I get on the exercise bike, the difficulty is getting to the gym, then to the bike. so this encourages me that is I could get something stable...

Dave, thanks for the link. I had looked at those, but then moved on to thinking about a trike, maybe need to consider them Good idea on borrowing a bike too try them with I also get the kind of dizziness you are describing, but luckily not too often. The difficulty in explaining my balance...

Thanks Emo I looked at the Mission Cycles Solo (on their website) and there is much I like about it. The low and flat step through. The width, the electric assist, but it is a delta and I just don't think I can cope with that for much longer, given my problems with spatial thinking

flecc, the Noomad system that you attach to the front of a regular bike definitely does tilt. The question I have is whether or not the Noomad full trike, (they call her Lola) also tilts. The front end looks quite different, with a single vertical bar at the front, instead of 2. Anyway hopefully...

Dave, Laid back bikes do have some lovely looking bikes. I had a ketweissel but had to give it up because I found being so low down in conjunction with my poor spatial skills too stressful Michael, I'm just not sure the trikes do tilt. The info is confusing as they describe them as stable and...

Phil, Practical Cycles have some lovely looking bikes and sell the Noomad system, not the fixed trikes, which I don't think are even in production yet. I contacted Practical Cycles and they wont have more kits till Easter, though they do say on their website they have a test bike set up. I could...

John, Great name, great city, thanks for the welcome

Michael, Thanks for your reply. You are right I think the tilting system might be too much for me, though I'd love to give it a try. However, Noomad also have their own trikes, which I think are non-tilting. I have emailed Noomad to double check. The trikes have a very low step through and they...

I have MS which causes me muscle weakness, balance problems and spatial reasoning difficulties. I live in a bust urban environment in a ground floor flat, with no access except the front door (narrower than standard) So I'm looking for an upright, tadpole trike that is under 75cm in width with...
