Electric tricycle

[Ricky G]

Hi, I am looking for an electric tricycle. I Ave been to Jorvik Cycles but can't really afford a new one. Bid on a jmt 13 but pulled out when it hit £2000. I am 63 and last year had an above the knee amputation.
I am relatively fit but need something to give me reasonable assistance. Any suggestions of makes, models etc

Pardon our interruption...

First find the tricycle, then convert it. The above looks interesting.

Defect of all seems to be rim brakes.

This one is 48v so should have a lot more torque for hill-climbing than the previous one. Free shipping too. You might find that there's some tax to add on at checkout:

Would you require throttle speed control, with one leg I doubt you could rely on pedal assist alone?

A Trike or a conversion kit sourced from a uk supplier conformant with the eu/uk regs will probably not have its throttle feature enabled beyond starting the 4mph walk mode.
Lots of fixes for this ranging from 'cheat codes', plug in devices, and if necessary control system/display replacement(Upto an extra £100).

But its a possible 'bump in the rd'

A friend of mine has a Jorvik etrike, she loves it, enables her to keep up with her MTB enthusiast husband zooming up hilly tracks. There are a couple of sub £2K Jorvik etrikes available on ebay just now, one is "Buy now" for less than £900, but sold without battery. As usual, ebay bargains are far away with no delivery offered. Best keep checking periodically.
