The problem to be solved!
We were asked to find a way to enable wilful riders with good steering and braking skills but poor danger awareness to stay safe in challenging situations.
The Solution
Tomcat invented Carer Braking™ for the Tomcat Trike™ – an emergency strap brake with speed control and park brake feature, to be used by the carer should a hazardous situation arise.
Features
- A carer operated rear braking system including a Speed Control feature and Park Brake
- Available on all Tomcat products including those with Quick Release Two Piece frames
Benefits
- Keeps the rider safe and the carer in ultimate control, at all times
- Promotes a sense of independence, freedom and achievement in the rider
- Provides the carer with means to slow or stop the trike whenever necessary
- Gives the carer peace of mind in challenging situations such as busy traffic or other hazards
