As previewed last year at EuroBike in Germany and at Cabda this year Las Vegas, we're excited to launch the new ICE Trikes PERS Chainless System in available to order now!

Clean, maintenance-free, chainless e-assist cycling! Convert your pedalling into propulsion through electricity. Think of it like, cycle by wire! No chain or drivetrain and it works through electricity alone. More pedaling, more power. More power, more speed!

Riding an ICE PERS equipped trike, feels intuitive, natural and simply exhilarating. The speed is instant. No gear shifting, reverse pedalling, clean and maintenance-free, regenerative braking, smooth silent operation, smartphone connected and with anti-theft technology. A powerful 250w rear hub motor, 75nm of torque, 5 power settings and a 700wh battery lets you ride more with ease.

The PERS Chainless e-assist system is a completely new and unique cycling experience. The system converts human power into electricity, enabling the rider to intuitively control speed and braking by pedaling. No chain, it's completely ride-by-wire. 

Riding an ICE PERS equipped ICE Trike, feels intuitive, natural and simply exhilarating. No gear shifting, reverse pedalling, clean and maintenance-free, regen braking, smooth quiet operation, connected and with anti-theft technology.

Pedal at your own rhythm. The PERS Chainless system offers natural pedaling resistance that adapts instantly to your riding style. Every pedal stroke generates energy. Simply choose your preferred rhythm and pedalling speed (cadence) and enjoy the ride. It adjusts to you in real time, automatically, without any gear shifting. You can even adjust the cadence while riding.

To go faster, simply pedal faster, the system will adapt and match your preferred pedalling speed. Hills and decents are no problem, the system constantly adjusts to suit your ride.

The introduction of the PERS Chainless pedalling system is another bold step forward for ICE Trikes as we continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible; by embracing groundbreaking new technology, we’re leading the way in redefining performance, simplicity and accessibility as we strive to set new standards for the future of recumbent trikes
