FAQ
I can't ride a tricycle and have a lot of trouble steering or going straight. I have the impression that the vehicle always pulls to a certain side and does not do what I want.
This feeling is not uncommon, nor is it rare. You share this problem with most people who otherwise ride or have ridden a bicycle in the past – regardless of age or handicap. "Blame" it on your sense of balance, which has been trained to keep your balance while riding a bike. This ability, which is so necessary for riding a bicycle, is not required for riding a tricycle or often proves to be a hindrance. Similar to driving a car, weight shifting is not required when cornering. You don't have to lean into the curve if you want to go around the corner. Instead, you simply steer in the direction you want to go – which is exactly how it is with the tricycle. You don't think you can do it? Try to remember how you already rode a tricycle as a small child. Toddlers can usually ride a tricycle without any problems before learning to ride a bike. For them, the tricycle takes over the balance, they don't know it any other way, have no reservations about it and can therefore move around safely. To give you the confidence you need, we offer helpful support in the form of a video and a detailed guide. More here
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.
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.
How much do your products cost?
This varies and depends on the equipment of the therapy and special bikes. You can get more information about our prices from our support dealers or your local dealer. Here you can find dealers near you.
If I buy a model without a motor system, can I have an electric motor retrofitted later?
Retrofitting to an existing model is possible if the installation variant is a front wheel motor. For this, the front wheel size must be between 16 and 28 inches. Please ask your dealer for the respective amount of the surcharge.
