OUR SPECIAL CYCLES

Please note: we are not a cycle dealer and do not sell any of the cycles shown here.
Please go to our
links page for details of suppliers.

All our special dual cycles, with the exception of Duet, are side-by-side machines. These are all controlled (steering, braking and gears) by the rider on the right - who we call the 'pilot'. The rider on the left is able to help move things along by pedalling, or in the case of Plum by hand cranking. All the cycles have gears and safety 'parking' brakes as well as various other safety features.

We also have a range of tricycles and a number of conventional bikes for children or adults accompanying other riders. We also have a two seater electric buggy

Howie & Ross

These are two similar side-by -side cycles each made from a pair of BMX bikes joined together to link the steering, braking and pedalling. These cycles are great fun to ride and are best suited to young people and smaller adults, but can safely be ridden by all ages. Safety features include backrest, seat belt and footplates.

Gambol

A side-by-side semi-recumbent tricycle which enables both riders to pedal either together or independently. The comfortable seats and low seating position makes this cycle very stable and easy to control. A seat belt and footplates add to the security of the rider.

Plum

Another side-by-side semi-recumbent tricycle out of the same stable as Gambol and with many of the same features, the principal difference being that Plum is hand cranked on one side and has a large footrest.

Silver

Another upright side-by -side bike made from a pair of traditional Dutch bikes joined together. This cycle has many similar features to Howie and Ross but is best suited to taller adults or young people.

Duet

Duet is a brilliant combination of wheelchair and mountain bike - like a wheelchair rickshaw. The chair has adjustable head and foot rests, a full safety harness, plus pushrims and spokeguards, and can be detached from the cycle to make mounting and dismounting easier.
