For trishaw warranties and spare part enquiries: Please email Oliver at support@copenhagencycles.com
For Trishaws:
All CWA trishaws are purchased though Copenhagen Cycles, www.copenhagencycles.com, a social enterprise that helps to fund CWA. Details, prices, and specifications are all on that website. We recommend the TRIO model for Ireland, as it is sturdy and solid.

Operating Instructions for your Trio Bike trishaw: https://cyclingwithoutage.ie/the-pilot/
These short videos will demonstrate how to correctly operate your trishaw. Note: If your Trio bike is a 500w model, then you use the throttle (and not the up-down buttons) to increase speed/power.

We begin the journey, and the story of Cycling Without Age, in Ireland: the first trishaw arrived in Blackrock, Dublin in March 2017. Since then, we have been demonstrating it to care homes and sponsors and spreading the word, with great response. Clara continues, as a volunteer and Ireland founder, with no paid staff, to promote and explain the CWA concept as we get people to take up this brilliant initiative.
Cycling Without Age Dublin won an award from the Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Academy in 2017!

Starting a Chapter in your local community
If you would like to start a chapter of Cycling Without Age in your city or area, we would be delighted to help you get started.
Getting started with a Cycling Without Age chapter is an amazing experience. Nothing beats witnessing the joy of the older or mobility-impaired people, the volunteer pilots, and onlookers interact on and around the CWA trishaw and seeing the smiles of passengers coming back from their first ride with the wind in their hair, rosy cheeks and full of stories. We love to experience the movement of Cycling Without Age spreading all over the world and always welcome more to join.
Powered by Volunteers: the CWA movement is powered by volunteers. All our volunteer pilots give freely and generously of their time and energy to keep us moving. An amazing spirit of giving and sharing in our communities.
We have an affiliate model for communities, nursing homes and cities worldwide to become part of the movement. Proceed to the affiliate page or if you have any questions, write us an email. We have experience in working with nursing home staff and management, city councils, other volunteer organisations, cyclists federations as well as great ideas of how to get the initiative off the ground and locals excited about it.
