The Fizz is the trike the Tomcat brand was built upon. It was the world’s first disability trike to have Carer Control™ (allowing for steering and brake supervision when needed), a light, two-piece frame (for easy transport and storage), Trailer-Trike™ adaption (for family cycling), Dual Axle™ (switchable axle for training or sudden emergencies), and a Swivel Saddle™ (for easier accessibility).
Every Fizz is custom built to each child or family’s requirements, giving it a near 100% success rate and, in 2013, earning it a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation.
Purchasing the Fizz always begins with a personal assessment of individual needs. Once we understand the challenges that you need the trike to overcome, we can customise your trike with a range of Tomcat innovations, or we’ll create a bespoke solution just for you.
For control and safety
Carer Control™ allows a parent or supervisor to both steer and brake from behind when needed, whilst the Carer Braking™ strap allows the child to take control whilst you apply the brake if needed.
For easy storage and transport
The Fizz’s light, two-part frame makes it stand apart from other large, bulky disability trikes. Within a few seconds, you can take the trike apart into two pieces (and even remove the wheels if required) making it easy to transport in the family car, or to store away neatly at home.
For better accessibility
The Swivel Saddle™ and step system enables children to get on and off the Fizz without the need for manual handling. By turning the saddle to the side and using the step to reach the correct height, children can sit and swivel into position much more easily.
For good days and bad days
The switchable Dual Axle™ means that children who need a fixed drive to cycle smoothly can switch to a freewheel drive – this enables free-wheel cycle training or assistance by being pushed home or towed. This is ideal for children with complex medical needs such as epilepsy, heart or behavioural problems who may need assistance from time to time.
For full family outings
Freewheel or Dual Axle trikes can also be easily converted to a Trailer-Trike™ meaning children can join in with their peers or family groups on longer outings.
