Our bikes
The Explorer is our most aggressive mountain bike, suitable for individuals with hand cycling experience. The Explorer is used from a kneeling position and can be steered with the hands and chest. This bike has front and rear suspension and a slightly higher clearance than the other handcycles.
The XCR is a recumbent handcycle with no suspension and a lower clearance. This bike is lightweight and fast and capable on many off-road trails in Whistler. The XCR Quad/Tetra set up is also a recumbent handcycle but allows individuals with low or no grip strength to lock their hands to the handlebars as well as shifting and breaking using their elbows. Regardless of your experience or ability, we have a bike that will allow you to enjoy the excellent trails Whistler has to offer. Our knowledgeable instructors will teach you how to use the bike and all its features, and ensure you are comfortable on it before heading to the trails. Strapping, padding, and cummerbunds will also be provided to ensure safety and comfort. Bike lessons are typically 2 hours in duration, and family members and friends are welcome to join for the ride.
Jeetrike Off-Road Handcycle with full suspension and rear wheel drive for improved traction.
BuddyBike is an alternative tandem bicycle with rear seat steering. It is a bicycle for riders with special needs providing adaptive and therapeutic cycling for riders with autism, down syndrome, sight impairment, balance issues, low muscle tone and other disabilities that would prevent them from riding a bike safely on their own.
