Power, Stability and Wide-Open Badlands: Riding a Fat Tire Tricycle in Drumheller.
Set against Drumheller’s stark badland folds, the Fat Tire Tricycle from Bikes and Bites pairs wide, grippy tires with pedal-assist power to open the valley’s pathways to more riders — including those who prefer the stability of a tricycle or need mobility-friendly options. The operator supplies helmets and an orientation so even first-time users can explore confidently.

Stable, Inclusive Riding
The tricycle’s three-wheel platform and fat tires make it easier for riders who have balance or mobility concerns to enjoy Drumheller’s routes, extending access beyond typical bicycles while still offering a powered, outdoor experience.
Motor Assist and Real Range
Multi-level pedal assistance and throttle drive a top speed of 30 km/hr and a charged battery that delivers roughly 50–70+ km of powered travel depending on terrain and rider input — useful when covering longer pathway routes or tackling steeper valley approaches.
Map-Guided or Make Your Own
Riders can follow one of the pathway routes provided by Bikes and Bites or chart their own path on public streets and paths, while observing local rules to protect ecosystems, private property and work zones.

What the Ride Feels Like
The outing unfolds simply: pick a route from the operator’s pathway map or improvise along public paths, mount a multi-geared, motorized tricycle, receive a short orientation and helmet, then let the motor and wide tires carry you across Drumheller’s open valley roads and trails with a steadier platform than a two-wheeler.
