Trike to Help Mobility

For Stockport based businessman Mark Harrison, a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2004 has led to a brand new business developing a new breed of British designed and engineered mobility solutions. 
 
This month sees the launch of Mark’s new product, the TripleTread trike that aims to bridge the gap between MS sufferers being unsteady on their feet and needing a wheelchair to travel short distances. To bring the unique trike to market, Mark has been working with the Start Up team at the Business Growth Hub who have provided him with a Start Up Loan, business planning and mentoring services and a range of specialist advice including legal and financial masterclasses.  Mark also worked with the Manufacturing Advisory Service on potential future manufacture partnerships and Intellectual Property advice where he has submitted Trademark, Logo and Design Registration protection applications.

Formerly a successful International Sales and Marketing Manager working with brands such as Adobe, Apple, Canon and Sony, as Mark adjusted to life with his worsening MS he found that his lack of balance meant that he couldn’t ride his cycle any longer. Unable to find anything desirable on the market that would enable him to remain mobile without a wheelchair, Mark decided to create a product himself that would balance fitness, fun and freedom.

“ I wouldn’t have ridden an old-fashioned, ugly bike before my diagnosis and having MS certainly hasn’t changed that.”
