Frequently asked questions

Do I need recumbent trike experience?

Not at all. We’ll fit the trike to your body, explain the controls, and practice starting, braking, and turning before heading onto the trail. Everything moves at your pace.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe athletic shoes. Avoid loose clothing that could interfere with the pedals or drivetrain. Bring a bicycle helmet if you have one; if not, let us know when booking.

Can I bring someone with me?

Absolutely. A friend or family member is welcome to come along. If they would also like to try a trike, mention it when booking so we can allow enough time and confirm availability.

What happens if the weather changes?

We monitor the forecast and trail conditions before every ride. If the weather makes riding uncomfortable or unsafe, we’ll contact you and arrange another time. Safety and a great first experience always come first.

Is the demo free?

Yes. The private 45-minute demo is complimentary, with no deposit and no purchase obligation.

Where do we meet, and what about parking?

Demos take place on a relaxed, rider-friendly section of Greenville’s Swamp Rabbit Trail. We’ll send the exact meeting point, parking guidance, and what to bring when we confirm your time.

Which trike will I ride?

You’ll ride an available SC11 or SC28E development trike. We’ll confirm the model and its features with your appointment. The production seat is being refined, and the SC28E motor and battery system is still being finalized; production details may differ from the demo build.

Can you accommodate my height or mobility needs?

Tell us your height, inseam, and any mobility considerations in the form. We’ll confirm the current demo trike can be adjusted safely before scheduling your ride.
