The Original Active-Mobility Electric Trike / Ultra-Portable, Folding & Separating!
100 miles with Liberty Trike!
At Liberty Trike, we believe that every mile counts, and we strive to make each one of them count. We understand that riding a trike can be a life-changing experience, and we want to celebrate every milestone with our community.
That's why we recently asked our Liberty Trike group to let us know who has hit their 100-mile mark. So many are new and a ton have been rocking their Liberty for years, racking hundreds of miles are this point. We know that for many riders, reaching this milestone—along with other milestones—is a significant achievement, and we want to recognize and celebrate this accomplishment with them.
For those who are not familiar with the Liberty Trike, it is a high-quality, lightweight electric tricycle designed specifically for seniors and people with mobility issues. It is an excellent option for those who are looking for a safe, reliable, and easy-to-use mode of transportation.
When we asked our Liberty Trike community to share their 100-mile milestone with us, we were excited to see all the responses rolling in. We received messages and emails from riders all across the country, sharing their stories of how they got started with the Liberty Trike and how it has changed their lives.
One rider, Norma G., shared that she got 100 miles on March 8th! It had 17 miles on it when she got it used and a few neighbors have tried it out, but she had some miles on mine her that she bought new before she found this one. Norma gave her original red Liberty to her husband and took the purple one for herself! "How could I not?", she said. "The previous owner had a sticker on the back of the seat with an Iris flower on it, plus the word Iris! My mom’s name was Iris! How sweet is that!!! We ride at least once every day! Got it about one month ago! Had been struggling with mobility issues for years and had given up on the idea of ever riding a bike again." However, after discovering the Liberty Trike, Norma was able to regain her freedom and independence and has now logged over 200 miles on her trike.
Way to go, Norma! We can't wait until you reach your 500 and 1000-mile mark!
Another rider, Cheryl D., shared that she absolutely loves her trike and that she'll be a part of a 100-mile cancer challenge that started April 1st. "It has helped me so much in rehabbing my knees after bilateral knee surgery. My trike is over a year old and I get about 12 miles at 4. I do pedal all the way. It takes me an hour and half to do 10 miles. Mostly I bike on light sandy roads and it is flat. I hope some of you are considering to do a challenge on yours!", she said.
Cheryl most likely already hit her 100 mile goal and if not, this challenge is sure to get her there! We're rooting for you, Cheryl!
Kathy H. said she hit 101.4 on March 31st! She started her ride in December "Living on a paved greenway with 17 miles of trails makes it great! Short vacation (first time taking our trikes… hubby has one too) to Savannah and Tybee Island.", she said.
These stories and many others like them are why we believe that every mile on a Liberty Trike is worth celebrating. We understand that for many of our riders, the Liberty Trike represents a new beginning, a second chance, or a renewed sense of freedom and independence. We want to honor and celebrate these milestones with our community and show our support for their accomplishments.
In addition to celebrating our riders' milestones, we also believe that sharing these stories can inspire and motivate others who may be struggling with mobility issues or looking for a new way to stay active and engaged. Looking for even more motivation and encouragement? Join our community to read more stories and why so many have had success with their Liberty.

Electric Trikes For Seniors And Active Retirees
Many associate biking with being young, but more and more seniors are heading out on bike paths, too.
Almost 40% of all older adults have balance issues. This is one reason older individuals are at risk for falls. That inability to maintain proper balance can limit their mobility. A three-wheel adult trike takes the balance issue out of the equation, and many other physical and mobility, too. Learn why Liberty Trike is a senior or retiree's best friend.
Tips for New Liberty Trike Riders
A Special Letter From Bruce
The Online Community of Liberty Trike Riders
Six months ago, we created a Liberty Trike Owner’s group on Facebook for riders to post about their experiences on our Liberty Electric Tricycles. Since then, the group has expanded from just a few people to 329 members and counting. We never imagined that this online community would grow into such a positive and uplifting space. The Liberty Trike team could not be more grateful to our owners for demonstrating the type of attitudes that we stand for.
In addition to Liberty Trike owners, the group also welcomes interested buyers to get a feel for the e-trikes. New members can gain a wide range of information through other member’s posts, and they can also ask questions of their own. New riders are joining the conversation every day and are welcomed into the group with open arms. The Liberty riders are sincerely happy to see someone new post about their experience on the e-trike.
Because the electric trikes are only sold online and the warehouse to test ride them is far for some, many Liberty owners have offered to let interested riders test out their own. All it takes is a quick post for someone to realize a Liberty Electric Trike owner is closer than they think.
The group’s “veterans” are always quick to answer questions and concerns that others may have in regards to their trikes. Other posts, however, are very lighthearted and silly. One post even asked if anyone had given their trike a name.
These men and women have truly created a space where everyone feels accepted. By coming together in the Liberty Trike Owner’s Group, they have bonded over their mutual love of Liberty Trikes and also created a strong community along the way.
We at Liberty Trike are truly grateful to have customers who are so genuinely kind. On behalf of the entire team, we wholeheartedly thank you for your continued support of our business.
John D. Shares His First Ride
EBT people,
Today I took the first extended test drive on my new “Big Orange” Liberty Trike of about nine miles. Everything went pretty much the way I thought it would. I did get a lot of stares and smiles from walkers, drivers, outside diners, and especially kids.
I am very pleased with the power of the motor. It was able to handle my 275lbs in good fashion. In fact, I wouldn’t want it to be any more powerful or faster than it is right now. I have to admit to maxing out at 11.5 to 12 MPH when the way ahead permitted.
With flashing lights front and rear, I used the bike lanes on the roads here in Tampa when sidewalk riding might interfere with pedestrians or slower bikes. The basket was great for holding a cooler bag with water and my small camera bag. At the end of the trip, the battery still showed 4 bars. I’ll try 15 miles next time and see what the battery indicator says then.
The build quality is what I expected from a Worksman trike, since I have purchased three industrial trikes from them in the past for my workers. However, I was a bit surprised to find a 13mm nut on the handlebar clamp and 1/2” on the seat clamp. Huh?? I’m not a big fan of the quick release clamps anyway. I know they are necessary for breaking the bike down quickly without tools, but I can’t stand any movement at all.
I am a bit disappointed that the one speed is impossible to get up to any speed under pedal power. I had hoped that the trike could be somewhat useful without power. That overdrive on the Sturmey Archer 2 speed might have been nice. In fact, three or more speeds would be better.
I can’t wait to take this trike to the zoo. I’ll let you know how Lowe's and Walmart feels about running up and down their aisles.
Best regards,
John D
Tampa, FL
