Our customer Nigel recently got in touch to tell us how his physical and mental wellbeing has improved since buying an Etnnic trike. We’re so pleased he’s able to enjoy the freedom of cycling again. Here’s Nigel’s story:

‘As a neurological diagnosis progressed I realised I was no longer safe on two wheels. This was especially hard as I had spent my entire life on two wheels both cycling and motorbikes, my health both physical and mental took a big hit.

After a time my wife suggested an e-trike, so I drew up the requirements and started looking, then out of nowhere the Etnnic FST appeared. It fitted all my requirements especially the off-road capabilities.

Contacting Get Cycling and buying the trike was the start of getting into a good space. After nearly two years the trike has helped improve my physical and mental health. The diagnosis is not going away but I’m better at living with it.

Riding off road, I gained confidence and met new people, which has helped me navigate not just the health conditions but life after work.’
