LIFE CHANGING - GAME CHANGER
Cycling is a fantastic way to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and maintain physical and mental well-being. However, traditional bicycles can be challenging for people with mobility issues, balance concerns, or other physical limitations.
That’s where recumbent tricycles come into play. At ICE, we offer innovative tricycles that offer a comfortable and accessible option for those who might struggle with conventional cycling. Here's why an ICE recumbent tricycle could be the perfect choice for you.
Enhanced Stability and Safety
Recumbent tricycles are incredibly versatile and designed to suit a wide range of riders and abilities. Whether you’re seeking a comfortable way to stay active, recovering from injury, or looking for extra stability and independence, a recumbent trike can be tailored to fit your needs. Many models feature adjustable seats, single-hand-operated brakes, and even motorised assistance to suit different levels of strength and mobility. And for added reassurance, ICE Trikes can be fitted with “helping handles” to make getting on and off the trike easier and more supported.
Comfortable Seating Position
ICE Recumbent trikes are designed with ergonomics in mind. Unlike traditional bicycles, which require the rider to hunch over the handlebars, a recumbent trike allows you to sit in a reclined position with your back supported. This seating position reduces strain on the neck, back, and wrists, making it an excellent choice for individuals with arthritis, chronic pain, or spinal issues. The comfortable seat often resembles a chair, providing a more relaxed and enjoyable ride.
Reduced Joint Strain
Cycling can be tough on the joints, especially on the knees and hips. The recumbent position on a tricycle distributes the rider’s weight more evenly, reducing pressure on these joints. For those with joint problems or conditions like osteoarthritis, this can make cycling a viable and pain-free activity. The pedal position in front of the body also allows for a more natural and less strenuous pedalling motion.
Accessibility for All Ages and Abilities
Recumbent tricycles are incredibly versatile and cater to a wide range of physical abilities. Whether you’re a senior looking to stay active, a person with a disability seeking independence, or someone recovering from surgery or injury, a recumbent trike can be adapted to meet your needs. Many models offer adjustable seats, single-hand-operated brakes, and even motorised assistance to accommodate different levels of strength and mobility. We recognise the lower centre of gravity may put individuals off out of fear struggling to get in and out of the seat, ICE Trikes come with the option to add “helping handles” to allow for greater support when manoeuvring the trike.
Improved Cardiovascular Health
Just because an ICE recumbent trike is more comfortable doesn’t mean it’s not a great workout. Riding a recumbent trike can provide excellent cardiovascular exercise, helping to improve heart health, increase stamina, and maintain a healthy weight. The lower intensity and reduced impact on the body make it an ideal form of exercise for those who might find traditional cycling too strenuous.
A Social and Enjoyable Experience
Cycling on a recumbent trike is not just about exercise; it’s also about enjoying the journey. The upright and open seating position allows for better interaction with your surroundings and fellow cyclists. Whether you’re riding through a park, exploring your neighbourhood, or participating in group rides, a recumbent trike enhances the social aspect of cycling. It’s a fun, leisurely way to stay active without the discomfort often associated with traditional bikes.
Customisable Features
ICE Recumbent trikes come with various customisable options to suit individual needs. You can choose from different frame sizes, wheel configurations, and even add features like electric assist motors, and specialized seating. This customisation ensures that each rider can find a trike that perfectly fits their body and lifestyle.
Eco-Friendly Transportation
For those looking to reduce their carbon footprint, a recumbent tricycle offers an eco-friendly alternative to driving. With the option of adding electric assistance, a recumbent trike can replace short car trips, contributing to a greener environment while also providing the health benefits of cycling.
HANDCYCLE MODELS AVAILABLE
AGILE-ACCESSIBLE-CAPABLE
New for 2026! The NEW ICE Trikes Handcycle is built for comfort, practicality and adaptability. Experience the freedom of recumbent cycling in a new way with the NEW ICE Handcycle, designed to deliver comfort, performance, and cycling independence in every ride.
Active, sporty and agile accessible cycling. The engineered recumbent position provides a supportive ride, while the accessible seat height and open cockpit make transfers and everyday use much easier. Enjoy leisurely road rides to active trail adventures; the handcycle combines rugged capability with smooth, efficient handling.
At the heart of the design is ICE’s refined frame engineering, bringing together features that enhance both performance and practicality. The compact flat-twist fold system allows the handcycle to be transported with ease, while the no-brake-steer geometry keeps handling predictable and stable. The rider positioning system allows for an efficient, comfortable fit, and the wide-range gearing helps tackle varied terrain with confidence.
Comfort and usability are central to the experience. A breathable, supportive seat helps reduce fatigue on longer rides, and the ergonomic cockpit layout provides excellent freedom of movement when pedalling by hand. Every detail results in a handcycle that is beautifully engineered, enjoyable to ride, and practical for everyday cycling adventures.
In January 2023 British Cycling launched it’s FIRST EVER Partnership with an adaptive cycling manufacturer, ICE Trikes. The partnership sees ICE Trikes become the preferred supplier to the Limitless programme.
The Limitless program is dedicated to making cycling an inclusive and accessible activity for everyone. The British Cycling partnerships are essential in achieving this vision. By collaborating with a diverse range of organisations, they can harness their strengths, expertise, and resources to further break down barriers to cycling and create more opportunities for participation. These strategic partnerships allow them to extend their reach, innovate their programs, and ensure that Limitless is a game-changing programme, synonymous with inclusive cycling.
Together with all the partners, they are committed to fostering a vibrant cycling community where everyone can experience the joy and benefits of riding a bike.
Whilst we know ICE Trikes are an adaptive cycle of choice for riders with disabilities, they are fantastic for any rider who may not feel confident or comfortable riding on two wheels. Through the Limitless partnership, 20 ICE Trikes will be gifted to identified Limitless Focus Clubs and to key partnership programmes.
You can search for a Limitless ICE Trike location here. Contact the location directly to organise a time for you to try an ICE Trike.
The Limitless partnership is not only providing opportunities for people to access an ICE Trike, the partnership extends to providing price reductions to British Cycling members and Limitless Riders.
The recently launched, Limitless Rider Incentive Scheme provides a 15% discount for any rider who regularly cycles a Limitless ICE Trike at a Limitless club or location.
This element of the partnership is not only breaking down the cost barrier of owning an adaptive cycle, but is encouraging positive cycling habits, and hopefully lifelong participation in cycling.
Additionally, all British Cycling members are now entitled to an exclusive 8% discount on purchases from ICE.
Neck Rest
ICE offers neck rests to suit the Air Pro and the Ergo Mesh seat which are fully adjustable for both height and angle. The neck rest provides neck support for increased comfort on long rides. Fitted with a removable padded cover the cover can be removed to adjust the tension on the pad itself.
WRIST REST & STRAPS
These wrist rests are designed to comfortably and stylishly support the rider's wrists while riding your trike. Ideal for long journeys and riders with limited grip or strength. Incredible comfort & wrist support while riding. Lightweight construction and adjustable, weighing only 70g each. Easy to fit, simply snap onto your handlebar and tighten.
Velcro support strap for the ICE wrist rest. Easy fit and remove, padded and comfortable support strap, gives extra wrist restraint and controls lateral movement. Ideal for riders with limited arm or wrist control.
Easy Adjust Kit
The Easy Adjust Kit allows the trike to be quickly resized for different riders without the use of tools, including adjusting the chain length for the rider. This is very useful for trikes which are shared with more than one rider but not needed for any trike which is used exclusively by one rider
Seat Brackets
The FF bracket moves the front seat mount forward for very short-legged riders, we recommend short arm cranks for riders taking the FF brackets.
The FB bracket moves the front seat mount backwards for very long legged riders.
Helping Handles
Helping Handles offer the extra assistance you may need to get on and off your trike by giving secure leverage for a smooth recline and easier rise. They clamp firmly onto to the cross-axle of your ICE trike without interfering with the steering or ride; once fitted they do not need to be removed.
Seat riser
The seat riser makes the seat 4 inches (10cm) higher. Perfect for those that find the normal seat heights just too low to comfortably mount and dismount. Generally increased rider height will reduce stability of the trike and so the seat riser is best suited to more steady paced riding.
