LEVA-EU member ICE Trikes presented a first for the trike industry at Eurobike last week, exhibiting a model equipped with the PERS chainless pedalling system developed by fellow LEVA-EU member CIXI.
ICE Trikes summed up the advantages of the PERS system succinctly: “No chains or gears, regenerative braking, reverse pedalling and truly clean innovative e-assist cycling. It’s the future!” ICE Trikes has been able to incorporate PERS into their designs smoothly, thanks to the open-architecture design which allows it to be integrated with third-party motors and batteries. They teamed up at Eurobike with CIXI to showcase the technology.
The brand had models on show both at their indoor booth, and in the outdoor demo area where visitors could take a test ride. Alongside the PERS-equipped models was ICE Trikes’ Handcycle project.
LEVA-EU member ICE Trikes has announced an improvement to its warranty program, becoming the first company in the recumbent trike sector to offer a fully transferable 10 year extended warranty on all new trike purchases.
This move, which ICE describes as a “first for the trike industry,” reinforces the company’s commitment to product longevity, customer satisfaction, and premium build quality. The warranty will now benefit not only original owners but also second-hand buyers.
Extended protection, even after customer resale
The enhanced policy means that if an owner decides to sell their trike, the remaining term of the 10-year warranty can be transferred to the new owner at no additional cost. The second owner simply needs to re-register the trike with ICE to activate continued coverage.
Commitment to quality and responsibility
Beyond warranty coverage, ICE Trikes continues to distinguish itself through its adherence to international quality, safety, and ethical standards. The company is ISO 9001 certified, ensuring its manufacturing processes meet globally recognized quality benchmarks. All ICE Trikes also carry the CE/UKCA marks, reflecting compliance with essential safety regulations in the UK and Europe.
ICE is also proud to hold B Corp Certification, a designation awarded to companies that meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance. “We’re proud to be B-Corp Certified, which means we meet the highest standards for social and environmental impact and you’re supporting a company that puts people and the planet first.” states ICE Trikes, addressing what its certification means for existing and potential customers.
An employee-owned company with a customer-centric approach
Unique among many manufacturers, ICE operates as an employee-owned business, meaning that each team member has a personal stake in the company’s success and the satisfaction of its customers. This model supports a company culture of care, attention to detail, and long-term thinking in both design and customer service.
A shared journey in providing sustainable, high-performance transportation
ICE Trikes positions its products not just as high-performance mobility solutions, but as part of a larger mission to support sustainable, people-centered transportation as it puts quality, community and the environment in the heart of everything it does for its premium recumbent vehicles.
LEVA-EU member ICE Trikes recently joined forces with British Cycling, Plymouth City Council, Connect Plymouth and Plymouth Bike Hire to promote the new Adapted E-Cycle Hub to the general public in the city of Plymouth.
As part of the Connect Plymouth initiative, a council-supported programme aimed at enhancing access to sustainable transportation in Plymouth, UK, the Adapted E-Cycle Hub was launched in 2022 to provide greater accessibility to electric-assist bicycles. The hub, supported by British Cycling, Plymouth Bike Hire, and Plymouth City Council, is designed to create an inclusive environment where individuals with varying mobility needs can trial adapted cycles, such as ICE Trikes’ recumbent electric trikes.
Recently, in March 2025, the Adapted E-Cycle Hub opened a second site in Coypool, Plymouth, to increase accessibility to electric mobility in the region. A key contributor to this project, ICE Trikes recently partnered with local stakeholders in Plymouth’s city centre to promote awareness and educate the public about the benefits of its recumbent trikes and the Adapted E-Cycle Hub’s new location.
LEVA-EU member ICE Trikes completed a busy weekend of exhibiting, engaging with visitors and partaking in panel discussions at the National Cycling Show in Birmingham in March.
The recumbent trike specialists completed a successful weekend exhibiting at the National Cycling Show at the NEC Birmingham, UK, last month, exhibiting their wide range of trikes and speaking to people and organisations about accessible cycling options.
On the ICE Trikes stand was a diverse selection of cycle models, including the record-breaking ICE VTX trike (disabled Marine Corps veteran Michael Ricci recently broke six new World Records riding his VTX through Death Valley in California, USA). Back at the NEC, the legendary British cycling champion Ed Clancy OBE tried the ICE VTX himself.
ICE Trikes closed out the weekend by taking centre stage in a panel discussion on the theme of ‘Wheels of Change’ with charity Wheels for All, alongside fellow LEVA-EU member Van Raam, to discuss the benefits of ICE trikes and how accessible cycling can improve people’s lives.
ICE Trikes wrote in a social media post: “We love to meet people and connect with new cyclists and organisations who for many, have never seen our trikes or knew that trikes were an option for them.”

Comments Off on British cycling announces partnership with adaptive cycle manufacturer ICE Trikes
British Cycling has announced a new partnership with adaptive cycle manufacturer ICE Trikes, helping to support the growth of the Limitless disability and para-cycling programme and further widen access to the sport.
The partnership is British Cycling’s first with an adaptive cycle manufacturer, and will see ICE Trikes become the preferred supplier to the Limitless programme, which provides clubs with support and funding to deliver activities for disabled riders. ICE Trikes have already gifted to clubs in Cornwall, Kent and the Wyre Forest through the partnership, with more trikes to be delivered throughout the year.
Additionally, all British Cycling members are now entitled to an exclusive 8% discount on purchases from ICE, with the discount increasing to 15% for members who participate in 10 Limitless sessions, through an innovative incentive scheme.
Since its launch in February 2023, the Limitless programme has already grown to a nationwide network of 50 clubs, and last year supported more than 1,200 riders to experience the joy of cycling. Of those participating in the programme, 95% said that it had made them feel more welcome and included in the sport.
Ice Trike partnership
Ahead of the announcement, British Cycling’s National Disability Manager, Lyndsey Hollands, said:
“This is an exciting step in our long-term ambition to break down the barriers which disabled people when accessing cycling. It’s the first time British Cycling has partnered with an adaptive cycling manufacturer, and will have an incredibly positive impact on our Limitless programme and the ability of clubs to create more opportunities for riders.
“It’s great to see some our Limitless Focus Clubs already receiving their trikes, and the joy on their riders’ faces, and we’re excited to see the partnership flourish in the years ahead.”
Manufactured in Britain, the premium recumbent trike models are built to order to ensure a refined and comfortable ride for riders with a wide range of impairments.
Adrian Davies, Managing Director of ICE Trikes, added:
“Ice Trikes is incredibly proud and honoured to partner with British Cycling and to be part of Limitless; as a UK employee-owned business, our purpose is to ‘put a smile on people’s faces through inspired cycle engineering’ and we have so many customer stories of just how our trikes have changed their life for the better – regardless of age, impairment, or the ability of the rider. With British Cycling we can work to break down barriers, inspire change and create more inclusive cycling opportunities.”
