    The LEVA-EU member’s newest product, the Handcycle, is supporting British gold medal Paralympic cyclist Karen Darke MBE on a 9-day cycling trip in Northern Mongolia, as part of a Women on a Mission event, with a small team of riders who are cycling across one of the most remote frozen lakes in the world.

    Darke’s enduring 9-day adventure will involve cycling 160 km across Mongolia’s Lake Khovsgol.

    ICE Trikes will be sharing more updates from her trip as she puts the new handcycle through its paces.

    The British brand has published the following review from Darke about its new Handcycle product page:

    “ICE has created something remarkable with this handcycle. It is intuitive, versatile, and beautifully engineered. Designed for off-road adventure, it’s most at home on trails and paths, where its easy entry, adjustable crank and seat positions, and smooth power assist enable confident riding across terrain that would normally be out of reach. It gives the freedom to explore places in the style you choose.”

    Since becoming the first trike manufacturer to be a B Corp business in 2024, the LEVA-EU member believes that understanding and sharing its impact is just as important as the trikes it creates.

    • A B Impact Assesment (BIA) score of 114.1 (far surpassing the score of 80+ to become certified, and a great achievement compared to the average business score of 50).
    • Governance – Employee Owned Trust (EOT) structure, ICE Beyond 30 Strategy and upcoming policies.
    • Community – reviewing a fair and transparent hiring process, local impact and sourcing, and upcoming initiatives.
    • Customers – enabling wider accessibility to its trikes, thanks to partnerships with British Cycling and National Trust.
    • Upcoming plans on supply chain management, community engagement and improving product accessibility & usability.
    • Environment – carbon footprint recording, minimising unnecessary packaging and improving its waste management (recycling over 60% of its waste last year). Upcoming plans include environmental, social and governance plan, increasing company electric vehicle usage and expanding reporting scope.
