Add to Lightbox DownloadJuly 27, 2017 - Queensland, inconnu - An electric powered tricycle is all set to go places.The DC-Tri’s unique design provides riders with a low centre of gravity making it virtually untippable. It even offers riders two optional rear tyre sleeves giving the trike the ability to drift. Because there is no requirement for riders to have great balance, it makes the machine appealing to a wide range of people, including young adults and an older, commuting demographic. The trike was designed to reduce pain associated with long distance bike riding such as wrist strain, back and saddle soreness.The Australian team behind the trike says riders can travel long distances, far more safely and with much more control than a traditional push trike or scooter. To operate the trike, riders simply step on the floor platform, turn on the battery via the controller on the left hand grip and then press the throttle located on the right grip. Using the LCD screen, users can monitor distance, speed, travel duration and more. There’s even a USB port for charging devices. The trike’s mode controller offers five different speeds, allowing users to maximize their speed limits. To slow down, riders simply squeeze the disc brake located on the left grip. Additionally, riders can adjust the trike’s shocks, based on terrain, or these can simply be locked. The trike can travel up to 15 MPH for up to 20-30 miles, dependent on use, and features a battery that can be recharged with its accompanying charger and through any standard power outlet. Riders can opt to self-propel or use the electric motor to ride the trike. Self-propelling allows the trike to be ridden like a scooter. The trike’s unique design means it fits through virtually any standard door or elevator.Its size and width are also compatible for use on pavements, footpaths and walkways. A spokesman said:†Perhaps the most impressive feature is the trike’s zero turning radius and exceptio
