Throttle only Tricycle for use in France/Spain - Thoughts! (1 Viewer)

[Dave and Ginny]

Ever looked at a Batribike trike with a tilting frame? You control it with a lever on the handlebars so the frame is rigid when you get on and off, but tilts when you are on the move so there is no pulling to one side or balance issues cornering. Mrs theBass has one and after she got used to it absolutely loves it to bits. That was after she shot off too quickly the very first time she used it, hit a road sign, bent it and fell off. All of this within the first 30 yards before she had even got off the grass verge on to the road.......

We tried one of these...I couldn't manage it comfortably, Ginny struggled without even moving it!

We've ended up with the City Trike from Powered Bicycles in Long Eaton. Still not the easiest thing to ride but once you get over the natural two wheeled cycling instincts it gets easier. Road camber being the biggest hurdle. But we've bought it for use mostly on the continent, cycle paths etc and will get her about in Benidorm just fine! It's peddle assist but also still has a throttle despite being a brand new bike. To be honest she still needs a throttle so pleased it has one.

Why not go the whole hog and get an automatic Boom Trike 500cc ... brilliant .. you will be the envy of many.

I did try that tactic Movan...or one of those nice little three wheeled jobs, you know, that have two wheels at the front! At least with this Ginny still will get some exercise and it will be ideal just meandering along the prom at Beni .

OK have you got a photo as I'm looking to use one in place of my mobility scooter as bikes are faster and go further

This is the one. I've been riding it also the past few days and the more I do the easier it is to ride once you forget your not on a two wheeler!
