Quality that will impress you.
pfautec is a byword for quality "made in Germany". For us, this means no compromises when it comes to safety. Our proven bicycles/special tricycles for adults are suitable for therapy purposes and produced completely in-house, from construction to full assembly. This represents a clear economic commitment to our region: pfautec together in Germany.
Our categories – here is something for everyone
Damage caused by road salt
Road salt, snow, ice and moisture can really wreak havoc on your pfautec tricycle and cause rust among other things. This does not only look unattractive, but can also have a huge impact on the functionality and longevity of individual components.
What are the potential negative impacts of salt to your tricycle for adults?
Road salt usually consists of sodium chloride, but calcium and magnesium chloride are also often used. These substances are hygroscopic, which means that they actively attract and bind moisture and thus, can cause damage to your tricycle components. That does not mean you have to leave your pfautec tricycle parked safely in winter at all times for protective measures. To keep your tricycle in the best condition in winter, it is important to clean your tricycle after every ride.
Taking off your shoes and cleaning a tricycle can be quite similar.
Cleaning prevents road salt from getting stuck in the moving parts as well as small gaps and cracks. It is similar to taking off wet and dirty shoes at the front door. The dirt has no chance of penetrating the house and spreading. This will save you time and money! Although it may seem annoying at first to clean the vehicle after every journey, it minimises the mixture of salt and dirt from settling on your tricycle and result in rusting. You should therefore clean your pfautec tricycle in winter with warm water and a soft brush after every ride. Make sure that your tricycle can dry well afterwards.
Preventive care for the chain of your pfautec tricycle
Whether it is dust on the road or road salt in winter: Dirt builds up on the bike chain over time and should be removed regularly. If the chain is only oiled, the dirt moves further and further into the links and destroys them. The wear on the chain is much greater.
What is the best way to maintain a bicycle chain?
Scrub the chain regularly with a stiff-bristled brush. Clean the chain a second time with a clean cloth and fresh water. As always, it is advisable to dry the chain thoroughly with a cotton cloth at the end and apply a high-quality chain oil to each chain link. We would also recommend that you carry out a quick tricycle check-up regularly, regardless of the weather. Important: If you find any signs of corrosion, damage or wear, or if you have any doubts, it is better to take your pfautec tricycle to a pfautec authorized dealer for an inspection.
The pfautec team wishes you lots of fun with your vehicle!

FAQ
I would like to buy a vehicle from you. Do I have to take a test ride?
Absolutely! In principle, we recommend a test ride before any purchase. This ensures that we find the best help for you. A test ride is also especially important for people who want to switch from a bicycle to a tricycle. Our experience has shown that it is precisely here that there are often initial difficulties when it comes to getting used to the new riding behaviour. With a test ride you get an initial feel for your new bike and make sure that you don't buy a "pig in a poke".
Where can I get your products?
Our products are primarily sold through bicycle dealers and medical supply stores. You will receive particularly good and intensive advice from our support dealers. Compared to the shop around the corner, they always have at least one vehicle in stock in the showroom for inspection and a test ride. You can find a support dealer near you with the help of our dealer search. There you will be shown all dealers within a radius of 50 km. Simply enter your city or your respective postal code.
I would like to buy the model x with electric motor, but it is only offered on the model xy. Can I get the motor installed in the model I want?
If this is a model in which a front wheel motor is to be used, then this is of course possible. The version we use is suitable for front wheels from 16 to 28 inches. For this, a surcharge to the standard model calculated. The best thing to do is to ask our team for personal advice.
My dealer does have one of your products in stock, but I would like to try a different model.
Not every local dealer has the ability or space to offer multiple models. However, there are now a large number of specialist shops that stock a wide range of our vehicles for testing. Use our dealer search or contact us. We will be happy to assist you in your search. Click here to go to the dealer locator.
Do you also offer models that can be driven exclusively with electric drive?
Yes we do. For this purpose, a TÜV approval with operating permit is requested for the vehicle. This vehicle may then only be operated with an appropriate driving licence and a valid insurance number plate.
Why don't you offer your products in stores or relevant chains?
For a takeaway product like a DVD or bedding, that can work. However, our bikes are products that require explanation and we would like to give you the best possible advice. In the interest of our customers, we therefore remain
specialist trade-oriented.
