Pashley is an English bicycle and tricycle maker that has been in business for over 80 years. All of the tricycles they produce are hand built. Pashley creates pleasure tricycles for adults, children and people with special needs. Pashley tricycles for load-carrying work use are also offered. Pashley tricycles are not always easily available outside of England so most of your research will be online.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

    Determine Your Budget

  1. Step 1

    Compute a price range for your Pashley tricycle purchase.

  2. Step 2

    Factor international shipping costs into your budget if you live outside of England. Pashley trikes are made of steel, and are therefore heavy, so shipping can be pricey.

  3. Step 3

    Convert your price range into British pounds sterling. Prices given by British dealers will not be in dollars.

  4. Compare Pashley Tricycle Models

  5. Step 1

    Visit the Pashley Web site.

  6. Step 2

    Compare features available on models and the differences in price. Some tricycles are equipped with rear baskets while others are not.

  7. Step 3

    Measure your inseam (the distance from your cuff to where your pant legs meet). Tricycle sizing is based on this measurement.
