Get Cycling With KMX At Try-Out Days

Friday, March 20th, 2009

KMX will have cycles for kids and adults on display at Try-Out Roadshows to be held at venues as far north as Scotland down to the south coast of England.

From mid-March through the end of July 2009, selected models of the company’s three-wheeled vehicles will be available for trial at 24 events run by local authorities, public health agencies, businesses, schools and universities to promote cycling for the health, fitness and environmental benefits such exercise can deliver (See the tentative schedule of KMX appearances below).

KMX’s first appearance will be on 14th and 15th March in the City of York, which received Cycling City status last December. The aim of York and the 11 other designated Cycling Demonstration Towns in the UK is to get more people cycling more often by running demonstrations and try-outs supported by leading cycle manufacturers.

Former helicopter engineer Barry Smith, the founder of KMX, is delighted that some of his trikes will effectively be “touring” around Britain in the coming months. “We aim to provide anyone who wants to cycle with a safe and sound product which offers excellent value for money and above all – a great deal of fun!”

KMX was started in 2002 by Smith and his wife Yvonne. Today, the company markets seven different models and records sales of some 3,000 trikes a year, with exports to 14 countries including North America and Canada, Europe, Australia and parts of Southeast Asia.
