September 16, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett residents – and visitors – with a disability have been unable to explore the South Burnett Rail Trail properly, but that’s all about to change!<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Rail Trail Users Association (SBRTUA) has purchased an electric trishaw which will enable a “pilot” rider to take two people at a time along the trail.<\/p>\n

Richard and Andrea Herklots, from Queensland supplier EveryBody eBikes, delivered the trishaw to Wondai on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The e-bike was designed in Newcastle, NSW, by Tribe Bikes.<\/p>\n

Andrea congratulated the SBRTUA for supporting an Australian manufacturer ahead of imported products from Europe.<\/p>\n

She said the trishaw was load-rated for two people and had a 250W motor. It can travel about 40km on one charge.<\/p>\n

SBRTUA committee member Deputy Mayor Ros Heit said the trishaw would be stored at the Wondai Regional Art Gallery, which is located beside the rail trail.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The gallery also already has charging facilities for e-bikes.<\/p>\n

However, before the trishaw can be put to use, the SBRTUA will form a local chapter of the international group, Cycling Without Age<\/a><\/strong>, which will cover insurance.<\/p>\n

“Pilots” would also have to be trained to take people on the rides, which will be free.<\/p>\n

The trishaw cost $9670 which was funded by the SBRTUA and Stanwell, which contributed $3000.<\/p>\n

EveryBody eBikes also donated an e-bike which was raffled by the SBRTUA to raise funds.<\/p>\n
