- We now have 6 E-trikes to lend to people in the Sheffield city region. It is free of charge so you can see if cycling is for you!
This video was made the weekend we got delivery of the new DiBlasi. It's filmed on our old phones so please excuse the quality.

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!).
I enjoyed your review. We have just bought the Etnnic so that we can compare them!
Your video really helped me to figure out how to put my New DiBlasi R34 up and down- thanks for the informative video
Thanks for letting us know, it means I will keep making them.
@@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 🤩

Wow
Looks great. Is it a comfortable ride. Disabled body needs cushioning.
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.
Hmm, wanted to learn more however my server said the site was a RISKY SITE and said do not enter.
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.
How many km / miles the battery can make?
On the Web site i see 20km (i think is little)
Thanks
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.
From where you bought this,wanted to know more details please.
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.
@@SheffieldCycling4All so this tricycle is not available in the US right?
@@jeanward4647 Hi Jean, If you go on the DiBlasi website it comes up with its resellers. Good luck.
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.
¡Hola a México! Sorry you aren't able to get trikes. I wonder if there is a Disabled people charity you can talk to?
Tiene muchos problemas, muchos tornillos, problemas de cadena, pesa mucho, no puedes poner el sillín que quieras...
Still available to selling?
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.
I want to buy it
I want this bike what am i do

Are you in the UK? There are quite a lot of Inclusive cycling places around. :-)
C'est combien un vélo
Meu sonho é ter uma
Mais é impossível, não tenho dinheiro
Mais não tenho dinheiro 💰
where buy it : amazing
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!
Please if I can buy like this because I have a mobility disability
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!
