Triflex

The Triflex is the three-wheeler that doesn't feel tippy: an independently sprung chassis that adjusts when the wheels sit at different heights, a three-metre turning circle and two near-silent hub motors.

Who it suits (and who it doesn't)

A good fit if you want the manoeuvrability of three wheels without the tipping feeling on corners and sloping kerbs, and if a quiet ride matters to you. The retro styling stands out without looking like hospital equipment.

Look at another model if your doorway is tight: at 77 cm the Triflex is wider than the On Four at 68 cm, so measure first. If you need to carry a passenger, see the note below — and our buying guide explains what that costs you in law.

Riding this in the UK

As a single-seater limited to 8 mph, the Triflex is a Class 3 invalid carriage — the road-going class of mobility scooter. You register it with DVLA (no vehicle tax is payable), the rider must be 14 or over, and on a footway you drop to 4 mph with the limiter and speed indicator working. At 77 cm it is inside the 0.85 m width limit. Take the two-seat conversion, though, and it can never be a UK mobility scooter: the law defines the class as a vehicle built to carry one person. That build, and any faster setting, is for private land only here.

Options

The configurator above lists every option for the Triflex and what each one adds. Speed: choose the build limited to 8 mph (or 5 mph) for road use as a class 3 machine, subject to the class stated in your quote; the 9.5, 11, 15.5 and 20 mph builds are for private land only in Britain. Battery and charging: the standard 20 Ah gel pack or lithium packs of 20, 40, 60, 80 or 160 Ah, removable up to 80 Ah, and an 8–10 A, 12 A adjustable or 20 A charger in place of the standard 4 A unit. Seating and controls for a disability: a comfort seat, plain, swivelling, heated or both; a foot throttle; a thumb throttle left, right or both; the throttle moved to the left; all handlebar switches on one side; reversed brake levers or a foot brake right or left. Practical: a tall clear windscreen, a top box (standard, or the XL case), a front basket, a cane holder, heated grips, a handlebar muff set or heated gloves, a leg cover, covers for the scooter and the windscreen, a 12 V connection, a phone holder with or without 12 V USB, and a 230 V socket. Security: an alarm with remote control, an ART 3 or ART 4 chain lock, an ART4 wall anchor, a GPS tracker or a tracking beacon. The two-seat conversion is not in the configurator; as explained above, that build is for private land only in Britain — ask us if you want it. Maintenance packages and multi-year service contracts are listed too; for a United Kingdom address, ask us in the quote what servicing we can offer before you choose one.

Price, delivery and your rights

Your written quote states the full price delivered to your address, and the unladen weight against the 150 kg Class 3 ceiling. VAT relief needs a chronically sick or disabled customer, a qualifying product and a signed eligibility declaration — Class 3 does not qualify automatically. You have 14 days to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, plus your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Request a quote.
