Many individuals want the freedom and independence to pursue their outdoor interests. The LifeTrike offers them the opportunity to go shopping, visit friends & family, or just go for a joyride through the countryside without the need for a care giver to aid in the transfer. This practical design feature gives the operator the freedom to choose when and where they will travel.

The LifeTrike was designed with several redundancies that provide comfort and alleviate the fears of traveling alongside local traffic. Twin engines have been installed that permit smooth acceleration and secure on-plane turning control. The twin gas engines also prevent the driver from being stranded by using a single engine when necessary to return home. While the horsepower is reduced, the vehicle will operate safely until you reach your destination. Twin turn signal bulbs along with twin batteries have been added to keep the operator safe and provide plenty of power for lights, horn, and exit ramp function. The gate/ramp also has an emergency release that makes it possible to exit the carriage without the battery assist.

The LifeTrike comes equipped with twin 1.5 gallon fuel tanks that allow the casual operator to travel in excess of 150 miles. With local gas prices rising upwards of $4.00/gal. for the required use of 92 octane fuel, the ability to stretch the mileage past 50 MPG becomes very important. In addition, the LifeTrike can be serviced at any local moped or scooter center. This convenience assures the driver of keeping the vehicle in good running condition. When proprietary parts need to be replaced, Mobility Technologies LLC, or its Dealers will contact and supply the mechanic with factory manuals and repair parts.

One of the handiest features built into the LifeTrike is the ability to back out of any accessibility parking lane using the Electric Reverse. The side-mounted lever controls an electric motor-driven reverse gear. In addition, it improves maneuverability while parking your vehicle in tight garage spaces. The braking system has been adapted to provide safe, effective braking while under power. The front brakes are operated with a squeeze lever on the right side of the handlebars in front of the twist acceleration grip. This lever controls the sure-stopping twin caliper front brakes, while the rear brakes are controlled by a squeeze lever on the left side of the handlebars. Rear drum brakes are installed on both rear wheels providing additional controlled stopping power. The LifeTrike was designed with an emergency brake system that disables the startup process if it’s not set when the vehicle is boarded. After setting the emergency brake lever, the LifeTrike can be started and driven.

For convenience & comfort, the handlebars can be adjusted to custom fit the operator for proper turning control and arm reach. They can be adjusted forward and upward to accommodate different body heights and chair configurations.

When you purchase a LifeTrike, you begin to change your life. The open road is truly “open”. You gain control over how you move around the neighborhood. The freedom and convenience of unassisted boarding, helps break down some of the barriers and limitations that present mobility challenges to the wheelchair user or the person living with age-related disabilities. The LifeTrike was designed to normalize your lifestyle and enhance your sense of personal freedom. Mobility Technologies LLC, is proud to offer a life-changing mobility option at an affordable price.
