An Idea is born.....
A local Tamahere family bought an E-Trike for their own use and it quickly became apparent that it not only opened up Matty's world but also the whole family's.
An idea was born "What if that was available to everyone with a mobility issue that couldn't afford to buy their own trike?"
And how could we make it Free to use?
A machine that could be used by anyone .....
for Free.
The Tamahere Lions Club imported a trike and modified it to suit our Waikato needs but we needed to find a partner who could make it truly available for everyone to use, almost anytime.
Collaborating with local experts....
We found a perfect partner in Riverside Adventures who have the expertise to teach you how to use the trike so you can enjoy the best of the Te Awa River ride.
To book the E-Trike, please contact Riverside Adventures.

To open up your world ...
We asked Matty if the trike should have a name and he came up with .. 'The Spirit of Te Awa'
Spirit is here for you to enjoy for free (the only charge is in the battery).
