Meet Jeremy
Jeremy is 55 years old and lives in Oklahoma City. He is a guy who likes music on a nice afternoon and who, by his own admission, almost never has a fully charged phone. He is also someone who has lived with muscular dystrophy for roughly twenty years, and that diagnosis has shaped nearly every decision he makes about how he moves, where he goes, and how he stays healthy.
Earlier this year Jeremy bought a Simple Glide low-seat recumbent electric trike from sixthreezero, and he sat down in his garage to talk through the whole experience on camera. He covered why he started looking, how he researched, what made him finally commit, how he handled assembly, the changes he made to the trike, and what riding it every day has done for him. What follows is his story, told as closely to his own words and reasoning as we could manage, with a few practical notes along the way for anyone who sees a bit of themselves in it.
If you live with a condition that limits balance or leg strength, or if you simply have not been on a bike in years and are not sure whether you still can, this one is worth reading to the end. Jeremy's closing message was aimed squarely at you.
","id":"6c128075-c574-4857-b2c2-e760ef3d00d2"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Twenty Years of Adapting","body":"Jeremy was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy about two decades ago. Muscular dystrophy is not a single condition but a group of genetic diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass, and the way it shows up varies a lot from person to person. In Jeremy's case, one of the most visible effects is that he has no functioning calf muscles.
Anyone who has ever stood on their toes, climbed a flight of stairs, or caught themselves after a stumble has relied on their calves without thinking about it. They are a big part of how the body stays upright and stable. Without them, everyday balance becomes something you have to manage deliberately. Jeremy wears leg braces that give him the stability his calves cannot. The braces let him take a few steps on his own, and, as he pointed out, they are also what allow him to pedal both his trike and the stationary bike he keeps at home.
Living with a condition like this means a lot of trial and error when it comes to exercise. Plenty of common workouts are simply off the table, and some that look manageable on paper turn out to carry too much risk of a fall. Over the years Jeremy learned what his body could and could not handle, and he became careful about protecting the strength he has. That carefulness comes through in almost every choice he describes later, from the type of trike he picked to the seat he upgraded to the pedal assist setting he rides with.

He described it as the only thing he had found that was truly successful.
It is easy to see why. A recumbent stationary bike puts you in a supported, reclined seat with the pedals out in front of your body instead of underneath it. There is no balancing involved, no risk of tipping, and the motion takes a lot of load off the lower legs. For someone without calf muscles, that pedal position matters. When the pedals sit directly beneath you, as they do on a standard upright bike, you push down and engage the calves with every stroke. When they sit out in front, the work shifts toward the larger muscles of the upper leg and hips.
So Jeremy rode. Day after day, year after year, he kept his legs moving and his heart working on that machine. It did its job. But a stationary bike, however useful, has an obvious limitation: it does not go anywhere. The scenery never changes. There is no breeze, no sun, no neighbor waving from a driveway. For six years his workouts happened in the same spot in the same room, and eventually that started to wear on him.
","id":"e605f48c-1994-421b-9241-d57d98315169"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"The Itch to Get Back Outside","body":"Last winter, Jeremy said, he got an itch. He wanted to be outside. He wanted to find some way to take the exercise he was already doing and move it out into the open air.
Part of that pull came from memory. Before his diagnosis, when his legs were fully functional, Jeremy rode a regular bicycle. He remembered what it felt like to be out on the road under his own power, and he missed it. Not just the exercise, but the whole experience of being outdoors and moving through the world rather than watching it through a window.
Winter is when a lot of people start thinking this way. The days are short, the weather keeps everyone inside, and by the time spring is on the horizon the idea of riding somewhere, anywhere, starts to sound very appealing. Jeremy did not just daydream about it, though. He decided to do some research and see what was actually out there for someone in his position.
That decision is worth pausing on. It would have been easy for him to assume that cycling outdoors was something he had lost for good and leave it there. Many people with mobility limitations do exactly that, often because nobody has shown them an alternative. Jeremy went looking for one.
","id":"8d558f2b-87ec-4ea3-86ee-57cc0bb82b96"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Why Three Wheels Made Sense","body":"Jeremy was clear-eyed about his limits. He has balance issues. He does not have the leg muscles most cyclists rely on. A standard two-wheeled bicycle, which asks you to balance at every moment and to catch yourself with a foot on the ground every time you stop, was not a realistic option.
So he narrowed his search to trikes. A three-wheeled bike stays upright on its own. You can stop at an intersection, take a breath, and start again without ever needing to plant a foot and hold the frame steady. You can ride slowly without wobbling. For anyone whose balance is unreliable, that one difference changes the entire equation.
He also had another advantage working in his favor without quite knowing it yet. His six years on a recumbent stationary bike had already trained his body for a specific riding position: seated low, back supported, pedals out front. A recumbent trike offers exactly that position, just on wheels. In a sense, he had been preparing for this trike for years.
If you are weighing a similar decision, sixthreezero's electric tricycle collection is a good place to see the range of options side by side, from upright cruisers to recumbent eTrikes like the one Jeremy chose. The right style depends a great deal on how your body feels in different positions, which is why it pays to think carefully about where your pedals sit relative to your hips.
","id":"4fe87a07-59ee-4326-8007-f7a01fa0564d"},{"layoutId":"full-width-image-with-out-bleed","variants":{},"image":{"assetId":"5TtMEevK8EyNZH3knlmj8m","options":{"backgroundSize":"cover"},"mobileAssetId":"","mobileOptions":{"backgroundSize":"cover"}},"id":"8bfe3410-7a01-41b8-ad7d-a53e66ff2188"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Doing the Homework","body":"Jeremy had never owned an electric bike or an electric trike before. He started where most of us start: he typed the word trike into Google. The first thing that came up was a sixthreezero video.
He watched it, and that video led him to another one showing someone riding a trike just like the one he would eventually buy. That second video caught his attention. From there he went to the sixthreezero website and started working through it carefully, reading product information, comparing models, and watching more videos. He estimated he spent several hours on the site alone.
He did not stop at one brand, either. Over roughly a week he researched, thought it over, and looked at other electric trikes on the market. That is exactly the kind of diligence a big purchase deserves, especially when the buyer has specific physical needs that a generic product review will not address. Jeremy said he kept coming back to this trike for many reasons, and those reasons became clearer once he started asking questions.
As he researched, he wrote down the things he was unsure about. Once he had a list, he reached out to customer service. For anyone shopping online for an adaptive or mobility-focused ride, this is a step worth copying. Specs on a product page can only tell you so much. A conversation with someone who knows the equipment can tell you whether it will actually fit your body and your situation.
If you are earlier in the process, the sixthreezero buyer's guide and the personal fitting tool are both designed to help narrow things down before you start comparing individual models.
","id":"6d0abfb3-e7f4-45e8-8c17-bb7ed7ae71a2"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Customer Service That Had the Answers","body":"Jeremy did not hedge when he talked about this part. He called the customer service top-notch.
Every question he asked, he said, got an answer. The people he spoke with knew the products well. When they did not have an answer on hand, they went and found it and came back to him quickly. He came away from those conversations feeling genuinely good about the experience, which is not something most people can say about calling a company with a list of questions.
This matters more than it might seem. When you are buying something to work around a disability, the stakes are a little higher than usual. You are not just choosing a color or a feature package. You are trying to figure out whether a piece of equipment will let you do something your body otherwise would not allow, and whether it might create new risks. Getting clear, knowledgeable answers is part of what turns a hopeful idea into a confident decision.
If you have your own questions about frame height, seat options, pedal position, or anything else, the contact page is the place to start that conversation.
","id":"8e4d3c79-513e-4447-b9bb-c4ee47fb87cd"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"The 30-Day Test Ride Sealed It","body":"After a week of research, Jeremy was close. What finally pushed him over the line, he said, was sixthreezero's 30-day test ride.
The idea is simple. You get thirty days to ride your new bike or trike in real life, on your own streets and paths. If it turns out not to be right for you, you are not stuck with it. For Jeremy, that removed the biggest worry hanging over the purchase. He had never ridden an electric trike. He did not know for certain how his body would respond to riding outdoors after years on a stationary machine. The test ride meant that if it did not work, he had a way out.
He put it plainly: it gave him reassurance that he would not be stuck with something that did not work for him. For many riders with physical limitations, that reassurance is the difference between trying something new and never trying at all. It is one thing to read that a trike is stable and comfortable. It is another to sit on it in your own driveway, with your own braces, and find out.
With that safety net in place, Jeremy went back to the website, spoke with customer service one more time, and placed his order.
","id":"60ead28e-a863-474c-8bbf-1b461b2bd101"},{"layoutId":"full-width-image-with-out-bleed","variants":{},"image":{"assetId":"3oReBKqcW7lqVZkjNc3Ha8","options":{"backgroundSize":"cover"},"mobileAssetId":"","mobileOptions":{"backgroundSize":"cover"}},"id":"f6bf5ce0-77ec-4ad2-a8ef-01b825ecac5a"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Shipping and the Assembly Question","body":"Customer service told Jeremy that shipping from California to Oklahoma would take about a week to a week and a half, and he was perfectly happy with that timeline. You can read more about how delivery works on the shipping page.
Then, once the order was placed, a new worry crept in. Jeremy started wondering whether he, as someone with a disability, would actually be able to put the thing together. It is a fair question. Assembly usually involves crouching, lifting, holding parts in position, and working at awkward angles, and all of that can be harder when your legs and balance are not reliable.
So he went back to the website and found a video in which Dustin, sixthreezero's CEO, takes the exact same trike Jeremy had bought from the shipping box all the way to its first ride. Jeremy watched it a few times. By the time he finished, he felt pretty confident he could handle it.
That is a small detail, but it says a lot. Seeing the whole process from start to finish, on the exact model you are getting, takes most of the mystery out of it. If you are expecting a delivery of your own, the assembly instructions library collects these guides in one place.
","id":"cd4772b5-3a48-4d02-8499-d899592b0790"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Putting It Together in the Garage","body":"A little more than a week after he ordered, the trike arrived. The delivery was brought into Jeremy's garage, and not long after, he came out and started on the build.
It took him about two to two and a half hours to get everything attached and the trike fully assembled. For a first-time electric trike owner working around significant physical limitations, that is a solid result, and it backs up the confidence he built by watching the assembly video beforehand.
There is something worth noting in how he approached it. He did not rush. He prepared first, watching the video more than once, and then he took his time doing the actual work in his own space. Two and a half hours in a garage is not a race, and nobody was grading him on speed. The point was to end up with a trike that was put together correctly and that he understood, because he had built it himself.
Plenty of riders choose to have a friend or family member help with assembly, and there is nothing wrong with that. But for Jeremy, doing it on his own was part of the payoff. It was proof, before he had even ridden a block, that this was something he could manage.
","id":"3f1c996b-996a-4a46-853d-7fc295f820a2"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Making It His Own","body":"If you compare Jeremy's trike to the photos on the product page, you will notice a couple of differences.
The first is that his baskets are missing. He has them, but he chose not to install them. His trike is primarily an exercise machine, not a grocery hauler, and he did not need the extra cargo space for the way he rides. The baskets are sitting ready if he ever wants to run errands or carry something along, and adding them later is easy. If carrying things is a bigger part of your plans, sixthreezero offers baskets and bags and panniers that suit different setups.
The second change is a bigger one: he upgraded the seat. The standard seat on the Simple Glide is, in his words, great. It is comfortable and ergonomic, and he had no complaints about it. But there was one thing it did not do that mattered a lot to him, and that was swivel. So he chose the captain's chair upgrade, which you can find among sixthreezero's seat options.
This is a good example of thinking about your own body first and the default configuration second. A seat that works perfectly for most riders might not be the best choice for you, and it is worth asking about alternatives before you buy.
","id":"53ac49c6-b122-4c89-a4b5-e06faf3fc8b9"},{"layoutId":"full-width-image-with-out-bleed","variants":{},"image":{"assetId":"5F0wNYaXOLmmkzE3PqP1cD","options":{"backgroundSize":"cover"},"mobileAssetId":"","mobileOptions":{"backgroundSize":"cover"}},"id":"bd29fe7b-41be-468a-8148-0a23c19a6460"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Why a Swivel Seat Matters","body":"Here is Jeremy's reasoning, and it is worth hearing because it applies to a lot of riders.
The frame on the Simple Glide is very low. Most people would have no trouble stepping over it. But Jeremy has muscular dystrophy and real balance issues, and he knows from experience that someone with a disability can trip without meaning to, especially in a moment when they are not thinking about every step. Swinging a leg over even a low frame creates a moment where you are balanced on one braced leg, and that is exactly the kind of moment where a fall can happen.
A swivel seat removes that moment entirely. Jeremy can sit down while the chair faces sideways, then rotate himself into riding position without ever lifting a leg over the frame. Getting off works the same way in reverse.
He demonstrated it on camera. There is a small lever just behind his right leg. He pushes it up, the chair turns freely, and once he is facing forward it locks into place. The whole thing takes a couple of seconds. He described it as very easy for him to do, and you could tell it had already become second nature.
For riders with balance problems, hip or knee issues, or limited flexibility, getting on and off is often the most dangerous part of riding. If that describes you, it is worth looking at features built around that problem specifically, whether that is a swivel seat or a trike from the easy-to-mount collection.
","id":"f37a7d59-1c3d-4d0c-813c-4a290241a592"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"A Closer Look at the Captain's Chair","body":"Jeremy spent a few minutes walking through the rest of the chair's features, and it is clear he has thought about how each one fits his riding.
The chair is very comfortable and very sturdy, he said. It comes with a headrest, which he has chosen not to install. The armrests can be flipped up or left down while riding. He prefers them up, because it gives him a bit more freedom of movement, and beyond that, he said, he just likes them that way. That is a perfectly good reason. Comfort on a trike is personal, and part of the appeal of a well-designed seat is that you can set it up the way that feels right to you.
The backrest adjusts too. You can bring it forward for a more upright position or lay it farther back for a more reclined ride, which is useful if you want to match a position you are already used to or find a posture that is easier on your back.
Finally, the captain's chair includes a seat belt. Jeremy does not usually wear it, but he likes knowing it is there. He mentioned one situation in particular where it could come in handy: if a rider decides not to pedal and relies only on the motor and throttle, buckling in might add a bit of extra peace of mind. It is a thoughtful touch for riders who want an added sense of security, and it costs nothing to leave unbuckled when you do not need it.
","id":"dd891c1a-4674-45ba-978c-18323a235475"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Pedals Out Front: Why Recumbent Works for Him","body":"Of all the features Jeremy talked about, the one he seemed most enthusiastic about was the riding position itself.
On a recumbent trike, the pedals sit out in front of the rider rather than below. That is the same layout as the stationary bike he had ridden for six years, and it made the transition from indoor exercise to outdoor riding feel natural. He did not have to learn a new way of pedaling. He just had to take the motion he already knew and add a road beneath it.
More importantly, that position takes a lot of pressure off his lower legs. He explained that when the pedals are directly below you, the motion forces you to rely on your calf muscles, which he does not have. With the pedals out front, the work shifts to muscles he can actually use. For him, that is not a small comfort preference. It is the difference between a ride that works and one that does not.
This is worth thinking about if you have any lower-leg weakness, ankle problems, or knee issues. The direction your legs push makes a real difference in which muscles take the load. Sixthreezero's recumbent trikes are built around this layout, and if you are not sure whether recumbent or upright suits you better, browsing the comfort-focused trikes and the trikes for seniors can help you see the differences in seating and pedal position.
","id":"599de0d3-e35a-4d60-a66c-0d65cb300b0a"},{"layoutId":"full-width-image-with-out-bleed","variants":{},"image":{"assetId":"5Yp0vad8K33JUx9W35n56E","options":{"backgroundSize":"cover"},"mobileAssetId":"","mobileOptions":{"backgroundSize":"cover"}},"id":"9ac6711d-1ad7-41e0-9d74-9a1a1ee603d8"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Fat Tires on Every Surface","body":"Before heading out on his ride, Jeremy pointed to the tires. The Simple Glide rolls on fat tires, and he has come to appreciate them for two reasons.
First, he says they behave a lot like shock absorbers. When he rolls over bumps or rough ground, the wide, high-volume tires soak up a good share of the jolt before it reaches him. For a rider who already has to manage stability carefully, a smoother ride is not just more pleasant. It is easier on the body and less likely to throw him off balance in the seat.
Second, the tread is very knobby, which gives the trike grip on surfaces beyond smooth pavement. Jeremy has ridden it on pavement, gravel, dirt, and grass, and he said it handles all of them well. He had no complaints at all on that front.
That versatility matters for exercise riding. When you are not tied to perfect asphalt, you can take the long way through a park, cut across a gravel path, or explore a trail that would rattle a narrow-tired bike. If that kind of flexibility appeals to you, take a look at the fat tire electric trikes, and keep in mind that replacement tires and tubes are available when the time comes.
","id":"d72228ba-51a3-4e60-87c8-bded6ec0657b"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Out on the Road in Oklahoma","body":"Then it was time to ride. Jeremy rolled out on what he described as a beautiful Oklahoma day: around 80 degrees, partly cloudy, with no wind. A perfect day for a ride, he called it, and he said it was days exactly like that one that made him want a trike in the first place.
It is a nice moment in the video. After years of exercise that happened in a single spot indoors, here he is on the road, under the sky, talking about the weather like any other rider would. That is really the whole point of his story. The trike did not just give him a new piece of equipment. It gave him back the experience of being outside and moving.
As he rode, he talked through a few more features that make the Simple Glide work for him. Some of them are about safety, some are about convenience, and one of them is, in a very real sense, the reason he can ride at all.
","id":"e58c9fbf-c39e-4718-9542-de94c229a464"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Pedal Assist Fills the Gap","body":"The feature Jeremy singled out as one of the most important to him is pedal assist.
For someone with muscular dystrophy and limited leg strength, he explained, pedal assist compensates where his own strength cannot carry him. He still pedals, and he still gets the workout. But the motor adds support in proportion to his effort, so he is never asking his legs to do more than they safely can.
He has dialed in a specific setup. His comfortable pedal assist level is two. His trike has seven gears, and he has found that fifth gear works best for him. Together, that combination produces an experience that feels very close to the stationary bike he rode at home for years, and it keeps him moving at about ten miles per hour.
Here is where it gets interesting. When he is cruising along and comes to a slight hill, the trike naturally starts to slow down. The pedal assist recognizes that and adds more help, bringing him back up to his steady ten miles per hour. The result is that his muscles are not suddenly overworked on an incline. His effort stays consistent from flat ground to slope.
That consistency is exactly what someone in his position needs. He gets a great workout when he wants one, but he never has to push into a range that could strain or fatigue his muscles beyond what is healthy for him. It is controlled, repeatable exercise, the same thing his stationary bike gave him, except now it comes with scenery.
If you want to fine-tune your own settings over time, it helps to understand your eBike display and how the assist levels interact with your gears.
","id":"4f8aba06-73d6-438c-9725-b12a3a774457"},{"layoutId":"full-width-image-with-out-bleed","variants":{},"image":{"assetId":"4Ed8IVWx8GfPJzdt4o2j53","options":{"backgroundSize":"cover"},"mobileAssetId":"","mobileOptions":{"backgroundSize":"cover"}},"id":"2532fa84-8dbc-47e3-b7d2-af780ad2337c"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Brakes, Throttle, and Phone Charging","body":"A few other features round out Jeremy's list of favorites.
The trike has dual brakes, front and rear, and he said that makes it very handy when it comes to stopping. Confidence in your brakes is a big deal for any rider, and it is even more important when you are relying on a vehicle to keep you safe because your legs cannot catch you.
There is also a throttle, which lets the motor move the trike without pedaling. Jeremy rides with pedal assist because exercise is his goal, but he mentioned the throttle when talking about the seat belt, noting that a rider who chooses to use only the motor might want to buckle in. Having a throttle available is a nice backup for days when legs are tired or a route is longer than expected. Sixthreezero groups these models in its throttle-equipped trike collection.
And then there is the phone charger, which might be the feature he uses most. Jeremy likes listening to music while he rides, and sometimes he takes phone calls along the way. His phone, he admitted, is typically dead. The trike lets him plug his phone in and charge it while he rides, and he said he uses that feature all the time. It is a small convenience, but it is the kind of thing that makes a daily ride easier to fit into real life.
While you are thinking about riding gear, a good helmet and a water bottle are worth adding to any regular exercise routine, especially on warm Oklahoma afternoons.
","id":"df6e877b-9434-4863-90de-78d46757645c"},{"layoutId":"paragraph-section","variants":{},"heading":"Out Every Day, and Never Unnoticed","body":"Toward the end of his ride, Jeremy summed things up. He said he could go on and on about the trike, the company, and the whole process from start to finish. He could not say enough good things about the product or the customer service. If he had it all to do over again, he would definitely make the same choice.
Then he shared the detail that says the most about how this purchase changed his routine: there is not a day that goes by that he is not out on his trike. For someone who spent six years exercising in one room, that is a remarkable shift.
He also mentioned something many trike owners will recognize. People stop him all the time to ask about it. A low-seat recumbent trike with fat tires and a captain's chair is not something most people see every day, and it tends to start conversations. He described it as unique and very different from anything else out there.
Those conversations matter, too. Exercise is good for the body, but getting out of the house and talking with neighbors is good for everything else. A trike that gets people asking questions is also a trike that keeps its rider connected to the community around him.

Look into the company, he said. Do your research. Call them, because they will answer your questions. He believes that once you do, you will figure out that this is likely your best option, and that once you make the move, you will be glad you did.
But the part of his message that stays with you was aimed at a specific group. He spoke directly to people with disabilities. Get out of the house, he told them. There are ways to do it. This trike is one of those ways, and it can make your life better. Get outside, breathe the fresh air, get some exercise, and get healthy.
That is not a sales pitch. It is the conclusion of a man who spent years believing his exercise options were limited to one indoor machine, then found a way back to something he thought he had lost. He was not promising that a trike will fix everything. He was saying that more is possible than many people assume, and that the first step is to go and look.

A few lessons stand out.
Start with your body, not the brochure. Jeremy chose a trike because of his balance, a recumbent because of his missing calf muscles, and a swivel seat because of the risk of tripping over the frame. Every decision traced back to a specific physical need. If you have a medical condition, it is also worth talking with your doctor or physical therapist about what kind of exercise and riding position suits you before you buy.
Do real research and ask real questions. He spent about a week looking, compared other brands, and wrote down questions before calling. That is how he ended up confident in his choice rather than just hopeful.
Use the safety nets. The 30-day test ride was the deciding factor for him because it made the risk manageable. It is also worth reading through the warranty so you know how you are covered over the long term, and checking financing options if spreading out the cost would help.
Prepare for assembly. Watching the build video several times turned a worry into a two-and-a-half-hour project he handled himself.
Dial in your settings slowly. His combination of pedal assist level two and fifth gear did not come from the manual. It came from riding and paying attention to how his body felt until the trike matched the effort he was used to.
And finally, ride. The best feature of any trike is the one Jeremy described last: the chance to get outside every day. If you want to see more stories like his, the video blog and the wider Bike Advice section are full of riders sharing how they found their way back onto three wheels.
