Safe and Stable Mobility for Senior Citizens

Electric tricycles, or e-trikes, are three-wheeled bicycles powered by a battery and electric motor. They offer a comfortable and secure alternative to standard bicycles, especially for seniors or those other adults with physical limitations. Here are some of the many benefits:

For Older Adults

Seniors looking for an easy way to exercise and enjoy the outdoors have found great value in owning a Liberty Trike. Our 750W motor can assist a 300-pound rider up an 18% grade with moderate effort. For comparison, the standard wheelchair grade incline is 12.5%. This simple, powerful, and durable motor ensures you can reach your destination with ease.

For Disabled Adults

E-trikes are an excellent choice for adults with physical limitations or balance challenges. They can help with daily tasks, provide independence, fulfill dreams and goals, boost mental health, and provide muscle strength. While motorized wheelchairs are an option, they can be heavy, bulky, boring, and tiring. An e-trike offers a perfect solution for those with mobility impairments, providing comfortable rides with unique features.

For Building Confidence

E-trikes are ideal for seniors with limited lower-body strength, aching joints, or balancing issues. They offer a smooth ride with no need to be concerned with balancing. If a senior is too tired to pedal, they can use the motorized assistance. This gives riders the confidence to take longer, more adventurous rides and to know they can take care of many local errands on their own.

Coordination and Muscle Strength

Tricycles are easier to learn to ride than upright bicycles or motorized wheelchairs. For those who are able to pedal, the Pedal Assist feature allows the very gradual building of leg strength and cardio-pulmonary endurance. Smaller muscles are strengthened as well…those used for sitting upright, steering, mounting the trike, etc.

Great for the Environment

E-trikes are environmentally friendly! The materials used, such as metal parts and tires, can be recycled and repurposed. Tricycles also use less energy than conventional motorized transportation since they don’t require gasoline. Recharging an e-trike battery costs less than 5 cents!

A Boost for Your Social Life

Trikes allow you to be more social! You can ride your tricycle at the retirement home or take it out on the street. Riding a tricycle is an activity that brings new friends. Even though your body isn’t as fit as it used to be, there are many benefits of riding a tricycle.
