Three Wheels of Magic Introduction at Cycle Con 2024 - Interview with Gary Solomon of Laid Back Bike Report
Three-wheeled recumbent bikes are particularly beneficial for Rehabilitation due to their stability, comfort, and ease of use. Here are some ways in which the Three Wheels of Magic (TWM) tadpole trike can be advantageous for Rehabilitation:
Stability and Balance:
Three Wheels of Magic offers excellent stability with three wheels, reducing the risk of falls during rehabilitation exercises. Their strength and balance make them suitable for individuals who may have balance issues or are at risk of falling.
Low-Impact Exercise:
Like traditional recumbent bikes, Three Wheels of Magic provides a low-impact form of exercise. The seated position and the supportive backrest minimize joint stress, making them ideal for individuals recovering from joint surgeries or arthritis.
Enhanced Comfort:
The reclined seating position on our recumbent trike provides ergonomic support, reducing the strain on the back and neck. The enhanced comfort can be especially beneficial for individuals with back issues or those who find traditional upright bikes uncomfortable.
Gradual Intensity:
Three Wheels of Magic often comes with adjustable resistance levels, allowing for a gradual increase in exercise intensity as the individual progresses in Rehabilitation. This adaptability is essential for tailoring the exercise to the person's specific needs in recovery.
Support for Neurological Rehabilitation:
Three Wheels of Magic can be helpful for individuals undergoing neurological Rehabilitation, such as those recovering from stroke or brain injuries. The controlled pedaling motion can aid in retraining neural pathways and improving coordination.
Improved Cardiovascular Health:
Riding a TWM recumbent trike provides cardiovascular benefits, promoting heart health and improving circulation. Cardio can be advantageous for individuals recovering from cardiac events or surgeries.
Full Body Engagement:
Three Wheels of Magic engages the upper and lower body, providing a full-body workout. The full engagement can benefit overall muscle conditioning and Rehabilitation of various muscle groups.
Accessible Design:
Our Three Wheels of Magic have an easy step-in design, making them more accessible for individuals with mobility challenges. This feature simplifies getting on and off the trike, which is crucial for those with limited mobility.
Outdoor Rehabilitation:
Three Wheels of Magic allows individuals to enjoy extensive outdoor activities during their Rehabilitation. Outdoor Rehabilitation can positively affect mental well-being and motivation, contributing to a more holistic approach to recovery.
Customization for Special Needs:
Some Three Wheels of Magic are designed to accommodate specific needs, such as adjustable seating, adaptive pedals, or additional support features. This customization can cater to the unique requirements of individuals with different physical conditions.
What defines the Three Wheels of Magic eTrike:
The Three Wheels of Magic eTrike redefines what's possible. The frame is made of Chromoly steel, delivering an extensive range and reaching impressive speeds of up to 28 mph in sublime comfort. Its lightweight lithium-ion batteries, strategically mounted to the frame with a low center of gravity, provide unprecedented power and stability, ensuring an unrivaled experience on the road.
At the heart of the Three Wheels of Magic lies the revolutionary Falco eDrive, consisting of three essential components designed to optimize your cycling journey.
First, we have the electric rear wheel, a meticulously crafted unit with the world-renowned multi-patented Falco hub motor (Choice of 500 or 750W Motor). Complete with a rim, spokes, tube, and tire, this wheel seamlessly integrates into the rest of the frame, allowing for effortless engagement of electrical-assisted acceleration, sustained duration, momentum, and torque when you need it most.
Powering the Three Wheels of Magic is a high-capacity 36-volt lithium battery boasting 400Wh (Optional upgrade to 48V, 672Wh battery) and incorporating top-of-the-line Sanyo or LG cells. This battery ensures optimal performance and longevity. Of course, a charger is provided for convenient recharging whenever needed.
The Three Wheels of Magic also optionally features an intelligent power trainer, elevating your riding experience to new heights. This trainer works seamlessly with the Three Wheels of Magic, which receives signals from popular cycling apps such as Zwift, effortlessly adjusting resistance to simulate changing terrains and conditions to vibrating to replicate a realistic "road feel." This interactive feedback loop immerses you in the most engaging and lifelike riding experience imaginable wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart (BLE). Thus, preferred apps like Zwift can enhance your cycling journey like never before.
