Last summer I was very worried about how I was going to get my eldest to and from school.
The school was not that far away, not even 1 mile, but I simply could not walk that far.
We knew no one else going to that school who could help. My mum suggested a mobility scooter, great idea, but they are expensive and how was I going to get the kids on board?
Then my husband came up with the idea of an electric tricycle. Initially, he thought we could buy a tricycle, convert the back to a bench seat for the girls then buy an electric conversion kit.
Luckily we found the perfect tricycle! It is called a “Child Transporter” and it came from a company called Mission Cycles near Maidstone in Kent. We then found an electric bike shop in Swindon E-Motion who were happy to do the conversion, so they got the trike shipped in, built it, converted it and christened it Kermit!
We have had ups and downs with the electrics, but I wouldn’t be without it, it is wonderful!
