Customisation & Adaptation of trikes
One size most definitely does not fit all. At EveryBody eBikes we know this all too well. What works for one person mostly likely will not work for you. BUT – we can get close and then customise or modify the fit to suit you perfectly. We have a workshop which is designed to handle trikes and larger bikes and is fitted with all the equipment to fabricate, adapt, extend and alter.
Merle’s story
“I can honestly say that this trike has changed my own self-concept (i.e. my identity in my own eyes), when I ride this trike, I simply no longer feel disabled and isolated. I feel empowered and enabled to engage in the activities and environments that I previously enjoyed. This trike has certainly transformed my future into one which is very positive and filled with exciting possibilities.”
