An ultra supportive upright tricycle, the Platypus e-Trike is a great option for local shopping trips and social visits.  Keeping you moving with the pedal assistance, the rear electric motor helps to level out the hills, giving you a low impact 'workout' (if you want, or turn the motor up to do less work yourself!), while enjoying the joys of the lovely cycling trails around Melbourne.

Giving extra confidence with its back supportive seat and armrests, and being easier to hop on and off due to the smaller 16" wheels, this electric tricycle offers a relaxed riding position, with the pedals further forward than most.  It is designed with mobility in mind, but ACTIVE mobility (rather than a scooter, where the rider does no exercise at all).  

With the added benefit of foldability (for easy storage or transporting), this trike has so many benefits, its hard to go past the value packed in to this Really Empowering Vehicle!

*** Come visit for a test ride!  A trike handles differently from a two-wheel bicycle, particularly on corners and sloping surfaces.  Best you come try it to understand, it can take a little time to get used to.

PICKUP from our store, or optional delivery across Eastern Melbourne ($50-$150, depending on location).  Freight can be quoted for further afield, call us to enquire.
