A single-wheeled, battery-powered attachment for most manual wheelchairs lifts the front wheels up to make a three-wheeler. Features a 14-inch bike wheel features drum brakes.
Huge benefits for me include maintaining my independence when needed. I can pop out with the kids on his scooter, walk the dogs with my wife, or go off-road on grass and uneven ground.
It’s very easy to attach and detach. Put the brakes on, slide the arms of the Triride bracket to the required length into the special attachments on the wheelchair, and tighten the clamp bolts. Turn the Triride on and put it in reverse, pressing the accelerator slowly so the wheel moves backwards and lifts up the front caster wheels of the chair. Lock the spring cotter pin on the left of the Triride (this sprung bolt pin will lock in once turned a quarter), then tighten the tension screw between the knees. Make sure all bolts are tight, and you are ready to go.
Excellent design, reasonably lightweight. There are many models available. You can now customise them- something you couldn’t do when I purchased. They come in many colours and additional options like baskets. I also have the protective carry bag, which was expensive but worth it. I also needed extra weights on the front axle due to having no I have no legs, so there is no weight on the front.
These are extremely quick, and you need to learn how to ride them. For example, when going downhill, use the brakes. The turning circle is outstanding, making them great for holidays and trips around London.
Very easy to maintain, with parts readily available. Advice is available from Max Wheelchairs and Triride. We hope to organise Triride rides where we all meet and go out for fun. A pleasurable tool. A great product for everyone, stylish and very up-to-date looking.
The only downsides are that it’s quite expensive, but I feel it was worth every penny. Everyone wants to have a go!
