For years since its creation, electric trikes were seen as practical alternative modes of transportation. Nowadays, it’s becoming more and more recognized as useful aids to those with special needs.
Aging and physical limitations shouldn’t slow someone down, or mean that they can’t live their lives’ full potential. It is a good thing that innovations like etrikes are now made more accessible. In this blog, you will find out how this reliable mobility equipment can help enhance one’s lifestyle and recreation.
Liberty Trikes: Defined
Just like the traditional tricycle, it has two rear wheels and one front wheel. This electric ride is known for its comfort, ease, and speed. It is also a very popular mobility option among elders and those with disabilities. With its ergonomic design, the e-ride has seen a surge in its patrons and is becoming more essential in the electric ride-able industry.
The Liberty Trike has some features that a traditional tricycle doesn’t have. First of all, it runs on electric power. This means that it is easier to operate compared to a manual trike. It can be driven effortlessly just by a twist of the throttle, or light pedaling.
LTs are already equipped with rear baskets and a comfort seat with a backrest but if you're looking for more storage and extra cushion, LT offers a front basket and memory foam seat cover.
All of these features make it a user-friendly option for seniors and the disabled alike. There are more convenient qualities to a Liberty Trike, too.
