Three organisations selected

The nationwide competition invited charities and community organisations to nominate themselves. Jorvik Tricycles selected Shopmobility York, Monty’s Bike Hub in Southampton and Cycling 4 All in Wrexham as winners, judging entries by local community impact, the potential contribution of a tricycle and each organisation’s wider aims.

Equipment for community work

Each winner will receive an adult electric tricycle valued at £1,000. The organisations are expected to use the vehicles locally to expand access to cycling for the people they support. Cycling 4 All, which serves North Wales and the border counties, said the addition could help more disabled and disadvantaged people participate in cycling.

Company’s accessibility focus

Jorvik said the giveaway reflects its commitment to making cycling more accessible and helping people experience the freedom and independence it associates with cycling. Founder and chief executive James Walker described the winning organisations’ local work as inspiring and said supporting their community initiatives was a privilege. The company began after Walker built tricycles for his father and later developed into a business centred on accessible cycling.
