The Triaid Tricycle/Trailer Hitch Combo Unit is a complete tricycle for your child to ride individually or attached to an adult bicycle.
The Frame Folding Mechanism, Option Drive gearing system, and extra handlebars (Basic or Loop) are included in the Hitch Combo tricycle.
The Option Drive combines the features from both a Fixed and Free Wheel Gearing system.
The gear can be locked into fixed drive mode with a locking plunger when the child is riding on their own.
When the tricycle is attached to the adult cycle the Option Drive allows for the gearing to be converted into a free wheel gear.
All accessory items used on the individual tricycle will work when tricycle is in the hitch form.
The hitch is attached at the frame folding mechanism.
This keeps the child from having to pedal as the adult pedals.
They can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
Triaid trikes add contemporary design, comfort and safety to enhance a child's strength, self-esteem and FUN.
Triaid trikes' stability is built into the frame with a low center of gravity and a broad wheelbase, helping to prevent tipping.
An adjustable steering stop is another stability feature the Terrier offers to help control the turning circle of the special needs tricycle.
