Last year we launced our first Experience Centre (EC) with Pedalabikeaway,  www.pedalabikeaway.co.uk, who are a Mountain Bike Trail Centre based in the Forest of Dean.  Following the success of this centre we are delighted to announce the launch of our Scottish Mountain Trike Experience Centre in partnership with Progression Bikes, www.progressionbikesscotland.com.

A quick word from our leader Tim Morgan, ‘there are many exciting opportunities at our EC’s, you can try out a Mountain Trike supervised by a fully accredited demonstrator who can talk you through the features and operations while you have a ride.  Alternatively you can hire a trike for half a day or longer and enjoy some of the amazing local trails.  A fully accredited demonstrator will be able to explain how to ride and make any adjustments for your hire period before setting off on your adventure.  You can also buy a Mountain Trike via the Experience Centres and fully trained staff can guide you through the ordering process.  Another option is that if you are already a Mountain Trike owner all our EC’s are fully accredited service centres and are able to provide a full range of maintenance and after sales help’.

Adam Flint, Proprietor of Progression Bikes says, ‘We are the main Scottish Mountain Trike Experience Centre and Representatives and attend various events around Scotland showcasing the Mountain Trike.  It is such a fantastic piece of equipment that everyone that has seen it and tried it can see the appeal and its benefits.  From disabled shooting and fishing groups to school children that just want to get around site, it has been great to help everyone access the outdoors.  We feel that it fits in very well with the other products and services that we offer here at Progression Bikes, we have a hire fleet of bikes, trailers and child seats to enable the whole family to get out and about.  As well as uplifts, guiding and coaching we have mobile skills courses that we take to other venues, such as schools, cycling shows and outdoor festivals.  It is great to be able to take Mountain Trike with us as it always draws a crowd and everyone seems to know someone that would benefit! It would be great to include them in events, races and expeditions in the future and we have been talking to event organisers about this for 2014’.

Tim goes on to say, ‘the plan is to eventually have a number of centres geographically located around the UK and it is great to have these two centres on-board which provide fantastic facilities offering customers and Trike users the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors’.

The Mountain Trike is an all-terrain manual wheelchair which has been designed using a masterful blend of unique innovation control and drive system with high specification mountain bike technology.  It provides wheelchair users with far greater freedom and independence than ever before to travel off the beaten track.  No other manual wheelchair on the market provides comparable high level of manoeuvrability and uneven surface performance, practicality and comfort.  Despite deep mud and wet ground the unique drive and steering system means your hands stay clean and dry.

The Trike is light, yet robust enough to tackle dense woodland and mountain bike tracks.  Much of this is down to the three independent shock absorbers, one for each of the drive wheels and one on the small wheel at the back, these keep the Mountain Trike firmly rooted.  The back wheel is where the steering takes place, which provides excellent control at high and low speeds.  The revolutionary lever drive system provides the mechanical advantage to ride up steep hills and maximise the rider’s strength whilst the whole time keeping their hands nice and clean! All weather mountain bike disc brakes provide excellent stopping power and control and can be mounted on either the left or the right depending on the rider’s preference.  See www.mountaintrike.co.uk for further information and specifications.

Managing Director and Inventor, Tim Morgan says ‘we are delighted that we now have approval to start selling direct to customers in the US.  Over the past year we have had a lot of interest from people living in America and have a list of people keen to place their orders, the response and feedback has been amazing and really positive, I can’t wait to start shipping orders so people can get out and about and enjoy the outdoors. We also hope to develop international Mountain Trike Champions in America; these would be people who share our honest open approach, our love of the outdoors and a passion for the Trike’.
