Where it all began...

Our mission is to provide a transparent, direct, open service to people with disabilities, their families, carers and clinicians. Our focus is to supply, fabricate or modify disability tricycles and bicycles to the exact needs of the individual. We provide a client-centred service, conforming to an unmatched level of accountability and service.
We are expert disability Bike Fitters using techniques we developed that are now used used internationally. This was necessary since standard bike fitting is unhelpful for many of our clients particularly people with physical disabilities.
Well over a decade ago, our founder's child was unable to peddle a standard bicycle and there was no easy or successful way to learn. Modified bicycles existed but were expensive and difficult to acquire funding for; and specialised tricycles were unheard of in WA. We set out to change all this by utilising the international market, keeping costs low and conducting research on riding skill development. Today, we are the leading experts in tricycle fitting which includes positioning, posture, movement and alignment. We know exactly what adjustments and corrections to make specifically on tricycles, which is different to any other equipment. This is why we are the preferred fitters for most allied health professionals.
We are perfectionists in our fittings and ensure that every client is positioned and moving correctly. The majority of our range consists of purpose-designed disability products that are designed and manufactured by leading bicycle companies. Our products are versatile, customisable, have the greatest range of adjustability and high quality. We custom configure every tricycle to suit the needs of every client.
​
Our modified bicycles accommodate riding skills and support riding skill development by custom modifying the bike to
support the client's current skill level in peddling, balancing, steering, braking and other riding skills.
