Mountain Trike EVO Video

The MT Evo is a Mountain Trike adapted for riders with limited hand function – inclusive, all-terrain, self-propelled, versatile and available in any colour and just as good looking as the Mountain Trike original

The Activetrails team has been assisting Norfolk Trails this week with some more audits in Bacton Woods, Cromer and Mundsley. Norfolk Trails are including wheelchair accessible routes on their website. We will be adding some routes to our website soon.

Cromer Pier

National England have been improving the coast to encourage people to visit the coast and walk more, Lord Gardiner was in the Great Yarmouth area to see the improvements that have been made. Two wheelchair accessible boardwalks have been constructed to give wheelchair users the chance to experience the beach and get closer to the sea, Activetrails were invited to have a look at these boardwalks.

We've now started access testing the Marriotts Way with Norfolk Trails. This will be 26 miles long and is from Norwich to Aylsham.

Norfolk Trails are currently in the process of creating access tested booklets. These will be available to view online via there website.

The Activetrails team would like to thank Whitlingham Park for inviting us to this event. This allowed people to view and have a go in the Mountain Trike.

We were in Holme recently assessing a route for wheelchair access. This route would not only allow wheelchair users to experience the views of the sea and beautiful countryside but enjoy the wild birds in the bird watching observatory.

The Activetrails team will be at Whitlingham Park on 23rd July for the 'Picnic at the Park' day. If you're interested in seeing the Mountain Trike, having a try or booking a demonstration this will be an excellent opportunity.

Paraplegic TV Presenter Mik Scarlet visited the Norfolk Broads earlier in the year to make a short video about wheelchair access on the broads. Whitlingham Park featured in the video where Mik went for a boat trip on the lake in the wheelchair accessible raft called the Ra. Also he met the Activetrails team and had a try in the Mountain Trike. You can have a look at the video here.

N.C.C. will be holding a launch at Burgh Castle for the recently constructed wheelchair accessible boardwalk. Activetrails have been invited to this. The event will commence on the 14th June with a welcome at the Village Hall followed by a ribbon cutting by celebrated local wildlife writer Mark Cocker.

We will be holding our A.G.M. on the 26th May 2017.

​Postponed. Will be rearranged.

This event will take place at the Sportspark, University of East Anglia, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4 7TJ. It will be an ideal chance to try a variety of sports and speak to different charities, clubs, organisations from Norfolk. Activetrails will be there with the Mountain Trike. More information here.

The latest NCC audit was in Burgh Castle a beautiful walk which takes you past the local Roman Fort. A 600M wheelchair accessible boardwalk has been constructed which gives wheelchair users a chance to enjoy the excellent views.

Recently we were in Sheringham completing our latest audit for the N.C.C. We are assisting them in making more routes accessible for the disabled.

All Terrain Wheelchairs Ltd visited Activetrails recently to demonstrate 3 off road power chairs Extreme 8, Frontier V6 and Frontier V4. We are looking at ways to encourage more disabled into the countryside and power chairs will increase the number of people we can help. You can get more information on these chairs on there website. 

On 12th March Active Norfolk are holding a 'Disabled Access Day'. The venue is at the Sportspark, UEA, Norwich and Activetrails will be present with the Mountain Trike. This will be an excellent opportunity to view the Trike. Local sports clubs will be promoting boccia, tennis, table tennis and wheelchair basketball. More information available here. Look forward to seeing you there.
