NO OTHER MATERIAL PERFORMS LIKE TITANIUM.
At the backbone of every Ti-Trike is our exclusive titanium frame. Born out of the aerospace industry and our work with NASA on mobility equipment, several decades of experience have proven that titanium is the perfect material for a tricycle. For reasons of cost and manufacturing convenience, however, other manufacturers typically build their trikes out of less costly materials like steel or aluminum. Unfortunately, neither one comes close to matching titanium’s superior properties when it comes to low weight, ride quality, resiliency, and durability. Neither of these two metals can match titanium’s outstanding strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. And unlike steel or aluminum, we give our frames a brushed bare metal finish that will never scratch, chip, peel, degrade, or rust over time. To achieve optimum fit and to match up properly with different sized riders, each trike model is available in four different sizes. All are designed to achieve that ideal blend of handling, comfort, and performance. As an added plus, the unique strength of titanium allows us to give a 400 pound load rating (combined rider and equipment weight) for both our T-150 and T-350 models.
ADVANCED FEATURES.
In addition to our advanced titanium frame, every Ti-Trike comes with the same outstanding set of features. These include:
- Easy shifting Shimano gears to handle any terrain
- Great handling, derived from a stable yet responsive frame geometry and a low center of gravity
- High quality Sturmey Archer drum brakes; fewer adjustments and superior wet weather performance
- NASA foam seating with adjustable seat height and seat back angle
- Ackerman steering with an integrated steering damper for improved stability and control
- Low resistance 20 or 26 inch wheels and tires for easy pedaling
- A fully enclosed planetary front gear system that eliminates maintenance and improves safety
- Optional rear mounted carrying rack or load bed.
ADAPTIVE BY DESIGN.
Ti-Trikes is the very first manufacturer to design trikes that meet the needs of Baby Boomers and those with disabilities. We call this unique approach “Adaptive By Design” or ABD. Throughout our long design and testing process, we’ve stayed focused on these goals, creating a line of trikes that are easy to pedal, stable, responsive, and comfortable over both short and long distances. Over the years, we’ve worked with many customers with disabilities, including those with MS, TBI, strokes, Spina Bifida, CP, and balance issues. For these individuals and many others, our trikes deliver fun, freedom, exercise, and an enjoyment of the outdoors in abundance… satisfying rewards that many never dreamed were possible.
