Adult Trike wanted

mrs.maverick

Thanks, Claire, but I am not eligible for any grants being self-employed and earning. Pity these things are so expensive!!

If your self emplyed and the trike would help you do your job you might qualify under access to work.

Hi

Have you tried WhizzKids.

I got a bike for my disabled daughter who was 15 at the time. It was a trike adult size and to buy it was £700, but I had to make a donation of £35.00 towards it. Its been fantastic. If you google them you will find them Im sorry I dont know how to put links up.

They make a bike for your specific needs ie if you need a back rest or larger seat, gears or no gears. There is a process to go through when you apply but it is well worth the wait.

Cant hurt to try them. Good luck
