Start Riding Again — At Any Age
Getting back into riding doesn’t have to be difficult.
In fact, for many people, a tricycle is the easiest and safest way to start riding again, no matter your age or experience.
Whether you haven’t ridden in years, feel a little unsteady, or simply want a more relaxed way to get around — a tricycle can help you regain your confidence quickly.
Why Choose a Tricycle?
Unlike a traditional bicycle, a tricycle gives you:
- Three-wheel stability
- Balance at any speed
- Easy starting and stopping
- Greater confidence on every ride
You don’t need to worry about tipping over or balancing — you can simply focus on enjoying the ride.
At Trike Bike Australia, we have helped thousands of Australians regain their independence through safe, stable adult tricycles.
Starting Simple — Pedal Tricycles
A pedal tricycle is the perfect starting point if:
- You are riding on flat ground
- You are travelling short distances
- You have a reasonable level of fitness
- You can walk around 100 metres without stopping
Benefits of a Pedal Tricycle
- Simple to use — just pedal and go
- No battery or charging required
- Low maintenance
- Great for light exercise
- Builds confidence quickly
When to Choose an Electric Tricycle
An electric tricycle is a better choice if:
- You live in a hilly area
- You ride in windy conditions
- You have reduced fitness or mobility
- You want a more relaxed riding experience
How Electric Tricycles Work (Simple Explanation)
An electric tricycle is not like a motorbike.
You don’t just twist a throttle and go.
👉 You must still pedal for the motor to assist you.
This is called pedal assist.
What Does Pedal Assist Do?
Electric assistance makes riding much easier while still keeping you active.
- You are still moving your legs
- You are still getting exercise
- But without unnecessary strain
Assistance Levels
Electric tricycles allow you to choose how much help you get:
- Low assist → around 10% support
- Medium assist → comfortable everyday riding
- High assist → up to 80% effort reduction
Ride Your Way
One of the biggest advantages:
👉 You can ride without electric assistance at all
This means:
- It works just like a normal pedal tricycle
- Perfect for exercise
- Then when you get tired or reach a hill…
👉 Simply turn on the assistance and keep going comfortably
| Feature | Pedal Tricycle | Electric Tricycle |
|---|---|---|
| Effort required | 100% rider | 10%–90% assisted |
| Best for | Flat areas | Hills & longer rides |
| Fitness level | Moderate | Any level |
| Ease of riding | Good | Excellent |
| Flexibility | Low | Very high |
