A good friend from Crook in County Durham is now 82. he finds his Raleigh Dover with Panasonic system brilliant for this most hilly area. He now wants a trike, low step through, light weight and with a crank drive system.

Does anybody have such a machine? We would be very pleased to find out about it.

Can they be bought complete in the UK? or is it a case of converting a non powered trike with a kit? Who offers this service?

Thanks in anticipation of some good news.

Hi shemozzle999,

Thanks for the information. The Powatrike is a very heavy machine, so I will leave it for now.

The Carro is worth more research. 50 cycles have a kalkhoff Agattu trike conversion, made in Norway second hand for £2,000.

I will Give George a pack of information when I have details of all the possible contenders.

Are Friends Electric? Yes.

Best Wishes
