Adult trike needed

[Whittler Kev]

Have you got an adult sized tricycle kicking about?
Need one to give the healthy me a kick start but Rockefeller I'm not.
Condition not super important as I can fix most things.
Could swap Bush knife blade, spoon blade or just started on some draw knifes
Got this in classified section too as have some cash as well if needed

i did have a adult tricycle about 3 years ago i swapd it for a ,punch bag, then found out the fella i swaped with sold it for 70quid and it was apperantly worth alot more than that, think you will be lucky to get one but good luck

Can only try. Would be a good way for old arthritic me to get some much needed exercise (with three wheels you've always got a seat to rest on) Thats why I put it in the old classifieds as well. SWMBO did have one before she went in the wheelchair, but I lent it to my dad after he had a heart attack and a stroke. Unfortunately someone let the scrappy have it after he died so now need to get another one

If you don't manage to get a trike you can get a back end conversion kit for a normal bike to convert it into a trike.

Any links/pics or idea of cost . Never seen one except the bit you can bolt on the back for a child to ride on (courtesy of evilbay ) but may be able to build one. The only bit I'm worried about is putting the rear 3 or 5 speed in the middle of the axle .

All vast distances from me or electric with kna**ed batteries and high reserves :BlueTeamE. There's one with a dud battery, and no charger, with a reserve of £90. Who they kidding......4 days gone and no bids at all. Got it in classifieds too as cash available...just not mega amounts

There was a company in Ipswich that made all sorts of specialist bikes.
I remember they made several styles of recumbent bikes and 3-4 wheelers for disabled people, they even made one bike with a wheelchair sidecar! very clever!
perhaps they'd have 2nd hand bikes? and it's not too far away.

sorry don't know the name it was quite a few years ago, it may have been a charity of some sort, it was linked to a local "scope" group.
