Community — trikes for seniors

The elephant in the room is always balance! Not all electric trikes are created equally. You have to consider the design as well as quality and the power and what that means for handling the trike.  

Having someone you love wanting to ride but unable to control the bike on their own should not mean they are left out. We have independent rider options, trikes for assisted rider and passenger bikes. An independent right might need a remote-control. An assisted rider can be helped with a rear steer, a side steering arm or by sharing the ride on a side-by-side. But if they can't pedal or won't pedal, how about a passenger bike option.

Losing your drivers licence can reduce independence, freedom and a sense of identity. But it doesn't mean you become socially isolated. Eletric trikes are a fantastic way to still be able to get out and about without a car. All is not lost. We have many models and we are sure to be able to find something which will suit your needs, your balance, your skills and your budget.

Not all ebikes and trikes handle in the same way. A hub-drive assists those with lower strength who find it more difficult to push hard on the pedals, especially on hills. A mid-drive torque system relied on good leg strength to be able to apply enough force through the pedals so tends to suit riders with more physicality or who want a more natural feeling to the power assistance. One is not better than another - it depends on your abilities and individual needs.
