Ricky Rickshaw

We have made the Ricky as capable as possible to carry disabled passengers. Easy no step access, aircraft lap sash, safety rail, front kickstand.

Yes, there is a large storage compartment where you can store blankets, spare batteries, snacks and whatever else your day requires!

The passenger box is 9mm marine grade plywood with a waterproof polyurethane coating, so it copes with showers. Like all our bikes, it’s not designed to live outdoors permanently.

It’s a three wheeler, so it stands up by itself at a stop, with no balancing or putting a foot down. The front wheels are custom built alloy specifically to carry heavy loads. Take corners slowly and it’s perfectly stable!

The road rules in Australia dictate all riders and passengers must wear a helmet, although we believe Cycling Without Age Australia has been granted exemptions in some states.

Aircraft style lap belts, and a safety bar to hold on to. The safety bar is removable for entry.

160kg in the front, so it takes two adults comfortably.

One or two, depending on which Ricky you buy. The Ricky 1 has a 69cm bench for one adult, the Ricky 2 an 87cm bench for two.

Yes, it’s pedal assist only with no throttle, which is what keeps it road legal in Australia.

Yes. 110Nm and ten gears is a lot of help, and it’s the same motor as the Evamos with more gear range behind it. With 160kg up front on a steep hill you’ll be working, but it’ll get up.

If you are carrying heavy weights expect to get about 30km out of a charge. Most Cycling Without Age Chapters purchase a second battery to get through a full day of riding.

A 36V 13Ah 250W battery with LG cells, with the Spanninga light integrated into it.

A 250W Bafang M510 mid drive with 110Nm of torque, assisting up to 25km/h. It’s near silent and has plenty of power to move two adults.

All of our batteries are tested to the European standard EN50604, the gold standard in battery testing. We use quality battery cells and can confidently say we have never known of a Tribe Bike fire. Always use the charger that comes with the bike. If you lose or damage it, buy a new one off us!

2.1 inch Schwalbe Pickup puncture proof tyres, 24 inch at the rear and 20 inch at the front. Schwalbe Pickups are the bees knees of Cargo Bike tyres!

Front and rear hydraulic disc brakes designed for cargo bikes, so there’s plenty of stopping power even down a steep hill. The front lever also has a built-in park brake, which keeps the bike still while passengers get in and out.

Ten speed Shimano Deore, which gives you enough range to get moving with two adults on board and still cruise at 20 to 25km/h on the flat.

The Ricky has some weight to it, it weighs about 60 kgs.

You’ll need 88cm for the Ricky 1 and 101cm for the Ricky 2, or 93cm if you take the safety bar off the Ricky 2, so grab a tape measure and check your gate.

2.15m long and 120cm high. The Ricky 1 is 88cm wide, the Ricky 2 is 101cm wide, or 93cm with the safety bar removed.

We assemble and test the Ricky in our warehouse and deliver it to you on a pallet. A few mins of unpacking and you are ready to ride!
