I bought the Di Blasi R34, as it was one of the smallest folding tricycle on the market. It can fit into the boot of a car or can be carried on trains or buses (when permitted). The only other brand that folded up small was Etnnic Folding Trike (that one has two wheels at the front). There are a number of other tricycle brands which are cheaper, but they don't fold up particularly small. The fold design on the Di Blasi is clever, and yes it does work. The video is a fair and honest representation of how to fold and unfold (although I probably will be able to do it quicker with practice). I bought the R34 for a family member who did n't know how to cycle. On her first ride, she was able to cycle like duck to water and she loved the tricycle. It has a low step over and is easy to get on and off. It has a brake switch, for when tricycle stationery. However, when I rode the tricycle, I struggled to get along with it. I just kept going to the side. It is probably because I am used to a regular bicycle. I was told this is because tricycle have chains just on one wheel, the second back wheel is just pulled along. I am sure, I would have got used to it and learned its characteristics. In my opinion, it is worth going for a test ride, if you going to spend a lot of money. It is possible to use the R34 without the battery back. Even if you run out of power, it is usable. You will not be stranded. To adjust the seat height, you need to undo bolts, which is annoying if you have riders of different heights. I prefer quick release style adjustments. The R34 has been around for a while. To held you identify. The earlier model did n't have the rear pannier and the fork was made of metal. The next model has a pannier rack and the fork is black plastic (probably making it lighter). The latest model has a pannier rack, with roller wheels, so you can pull the tricycle along. (Similar to the Brompton). If you are buying those pedals with toe clips, then it is annoying as the strap tended to flop upside down (which is annoying it you don't use them or are switching between riders). I think you may be able to buy self-leveling pedals (but you need pedals which fold-in, otherwise the cycle will not fold). The electric element is basic, no battery level indicator, no range indicator, no way to control how much pedeal assist. There is no speedometer or any clever smart gadget, which you may find in an e-bike. Would be nice if there was a phone holder for sat-nav.... There are probably third party add-ons.... Overall it is a good tricycle and the best on the market (based on my research!).
@@SheffieldCycling4All you're welcome 😀 I rode a bike for the first time in my life today at age 31 - after my brain injury aged 5 everyone thought I'd never have the balance for bikes - now, Thanks to the 3rd wheel, I can get some more independence 🤩 Thank again
Yes, everyone is different. :-) I thought it was OK, but only rid it for an hour or so. You would need to have a go, to see if it suited (it is hard to ride too). If you are in South Yorkshire you can borrow it for free. info@sheffieldcycling4all.org
Hi there, thanks for the video. i was thinking of buyign this E-Trike but i was wondering about the "seat height" as it might be too high for me (my feet to reach the ground, as i am only 4'9" and my inner legs measured 68cm and i have Myasthenia Gravis (legs unbalanced) so i wonder if it's hard for me to get on/off the seat? please advise thank YOU so very much.
Hi there, if you are based in the OK and want to call us Monday to Friday might be worth a chat. Otherwise, find someone who sells the trike are you interested in and they will help you. It may be that the seat post needs to be cut down a bit and that you put a different pedal on one side. There will definitely be a way.
Hi there, if you are based in Sheffield or near we can offer you a ride to see if you like it, we aren't recommending it or sellers. Otherwise, if you google DiBlasi it comes up with resellers in UK.
Hi! It is really hard to say because it depends on where you cycling (flat or hilly), and the temperature - it lasts longer in the warm, and the weight of the person and their stuff.
Heya, I just google it for you, and yes they are still selling this model. FYI We don't sell it, we have them in Sheffield as part of our free Cycle Loan scheme. If you live in South Yorkshire, you are welcome to access our scheme.
Hi there, yeah sorry, our site is http rather than httpS. We aren't risky, but we don't have the latest certification YET. You can still safely go on www.disabilitysheffield.org.uk/information to find out more about us.
Lástima,en mi país todavía no hay y yo qué no se handar en bicicleta normal,en éste si podría por las dos llantas de atrás,párese triciclo.saludos de México.
We are based in the UK and got it from Mission Cycles. But you can look on www.diblasi-shop.com/ to see a local seller. Try it first before buying, I found it very hard to use!
Sorry, only just seen this. I would recommend you try it first. Everyone is different, but in theory what ever your disability there IS a trike for you out there. For a lot of people, cycling is easier that walking!
