Adapted Bikes Available are listed below.
Axess E3 Electric Bike
The Axess E3 is a fully electric, four-wheeled adapted bike designed for riders who are unable to pedal. The bike is operated entirely by hand controls, using a twist-style throttle to move forward, slow down and stop.
It offers excellent stability, a low step-through frame for easier access, and a comfortable upright seating position, making it suitable for people who may have lower-limb mobility impairments.
This bike may be suitable for people who:
- Adults Over 18
- Can transfer onto the bike independently or with minimal assistance
- Have balance, coordination, or mild mobility difficulties
- Are unable to pedal
- Have good upper-body and hand control
- Need a stable, supportive cycling option with no pedalling required
The Axess E3 may not be suitable for individuals who:
- Have a moderate to severe intellectual disability, where understanding instructions, hazards, or cause-and-effect may be limited
- Are unable to safely operate hand controls, including twisting and releasing the throttle.
- May have delayed reaction times, as the bike can reach higher speeds than other adapted bikes
Mild intellectual disability may be suitable, subject to individual assessment.
Wheelchair Platform Bike – Draisin Andros Wheelchair Trike
This bike allows a wheelchair user to take part in cycling while remaining seated in their own wheelchair. The wheelchair is rolled onto a secure front platform and safely fastened for the cycle.
- Platform dimensions: 105cm x 78cm
- Maximum payload of 250kg
- Please note: some powerchairs may not be suitable, as certain battery placements sit too low and may not fit safely or securely on the platform.
Trigo Recumbent Trike
The Trigo is a stable, three-wheeled recumbent bike designed for comfort and confidence. The low, supportive seat and three-wheel design remove the need for balance, making it ideal for riders who prefer a secure and relaxed cycling position.
