Why an E-Bike Is a Great NDIS Mobility Support
Many NDIS participants choose an e-bike because it offers independence, freedom, and practical everyday support. Here’s why our bikes are a strong fit for NDIS mobility goals:
Increased Independence
An e-trike allows you to travel independently without relying on public transport or others. It helps you access work, appointments, social activities, and your local community.
Low-Impact Movement
The electric motor supports your pedalling, reducing strain on joints, knees, and muscles. Ideal for people who experience fatigue, limited mobility, chronic pain, or strength challenges.
Safe and Stable Ride
Our bikes are designed for comfort, balance, and ease of use. Wide tyres, step-through frames, and upright seating help create a safe and stable riding experience.
Supports Health and Wellbeing
Increasing daily movement can help improve mental health, cardiovascular health, mobility, and overall wellbeing. All recommended within NDIS guidelines.
Suitable for Everyday Life
With cargo space, racks, and strong motors, our bikes support daily activities like shopping, commuting, visiting friends, and staying active.
Flexible and Customisable
Our range includes step-through frames, fat-tyres, and long-range models, allowing you to choose the bike that best matches your needs and environment.
