I worked with Glen Aldridge, to buy a Trike off of Vancouver island, site unseen. I live in Dorchester, Ontario, Canada, too far to go and look at it. Glenn and myself spoke often for over a month while I got assurance that I was dealing with a reputable person. Glenn was brokering the deal for someone else and did an amazing job for both sides involved. Glenn did a full look over on the Trike and gave me a report on his findings. Glenn coordinated the packaging of the Trike, ready for pick up by the transport company. It was a little scary, spending that much money and sending something across the country, but all worked out well! Truck pick up, transfer to CP rail, drop off in Vaughan, Ontario, back up onto transport truck to Brampton Ontario. Transferred to another truck to their yard in London Ontario, 20 minutes from my house. Next arrangement was to have it delivered to my house, but since I knew it was there, and was excited to get it, we took my truck and picked it up ourselves. We found the Trike in excellent condition having made the trip unscathed. If anyone else needs to go through this experience with Glen Aldridge, I would recommend him without hesitating at all.

Glen was great about returning emails timely, working with me on the complex process of getting US and Canadian banks to communicate about payment, and the packing of the e-assist was excellent. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

Hello Glen,
Just a note to say how much I enjoyed the trip to Qualicum beach Yesterday.
The company and hospitality was outstanding.
I look forward to the next outing.
Thank you,

Just a little shout out to Glen for a professional job. He installed a Tongsheng Mid Drive on my Expedition yesterday & finally got to ride today and I think this is the game changer I've been looking for since my cycling accident in Jan 2020.

After I purchased my first Recumbent Trike I was considering installing a Mid-Drive Power Assist.
During a web search for “TSDZ2 installed on recumbent” I came across Mid-Island Adventures web site. It is filled with great information & tips. “remove everything from your pockets before riding” and Parts. I emailed Glen concerning the installation of TSDZ2 on my ICE Adventure. He was quick to reply and helped with determining the parts I needed. As a Canadian it was great to find a source of parts, well priced and in Canadian $. Glen not only helped me with parts, answered all my questions promptly but connected me with one of his other customers who had an Internal Gear Hub for sale. Unfortunately I am located 6000km from Vancouver Island so I can’t join with Glen on a tour. Would I recommend Glen and Mid-Island Tours? From my experience 100% YES.

Good Afternoon Glen
I just finished the second trike. Total it took me about 4 hours, only because of your great instructions from the previous one.
Thanks for all your help

I highly recommend Glen and “Mid Island Adventures” for your trike needs. This is especially true if you are adding e-assist to your trike. In my case I initially wanted a 500w motor, after discussing the wattage size pros and cons with Glen I went with a 350w motor instead. The 500w motor will give more speed and drain the battery quicker. The 350w motor slower speed but the battery will last longer. This is a simplification but is the essence of what I based my decision on. If you are installing an e-assist as I did, he is there to help if you have questions or run into a problem. This happened to me 3 – 4 times. He was always there and walked me through the process, quickly and efficiently. This mind you, while living on the west coast of Canada and I'm in the south east part of the United States. Glen is honest, puts his customers’ needs over making money, and has great after sale service. I feel confident in recommending him for any parts or service he provides.

Dear Glen, Your service, enthusiasm and general way you do business are exceptional. I hope I don’t need to exchange my e-bike for an e-trike but if I do I will come to you. I will also recommend you very highly to anyone who asks me about trikes. Thanks again

Glen,
I want to thank you and endorse you and your business.
Endorsement Statement: Glen Aldridge is an excellent and professional source for parts, information and assistance in converting an existing bike to an e-bike. In my case, my current bike was a recumbent ICE Trike Adventure. Although Glen and I were separated by a border
US/Canada and unable to meet in person, Glen did an exceptional job of analysing and ordering the parts to make the conversion viable. Additionally he provided parts that I would not have known to order on my own, such as battery mounting bracket and extension wiring. His experience
with all the pitfalls and nuances of installation and setup was the best I have ever witnessed.
Thank you Glen, I recommend you to everyone who will be doing a bike/e-bike conversion. Please give my email to anyone who may wish to confirm my experience dealing with you.
I have included a couple of pictures of the finished installation, the battery and motor.

Oh! Glen, I can not believe what a difference this has made. My motor is working all the time. Thank you thank you. I went the whole way to Qualicum Road and back to the hill on Pine Street. I went up it so smoothly and easily.
As soon as the weather is better I plan to attempt to trike up Memorial drive. Soon I will be strong enough to ride all the way to Parksville. Once again thank you.

I would like to take this opportunity to give Glen 10 out of 5 stars. I have dealt with trike shops in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Alberta and British Columbia and now living in Port Alberni I was looking for a shop to to do a power assist on my new trike. After weeks of inquiries in Vancouver, Victoria and elseware on the island, I was pleasantly surprised to find an ad on Facebook marketplace from Glen and I was so impressed with his knowledge and absolute concern that he could put together exactly what I needed and with humor to boot...Excellent job Glen and the trike worked flawlessly. Already looking forward to my next project... a quad which I will have Glen setup for me ...Btw did I say I highly recommend Glen.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you. - I've purchased 2 trikes from Daytriker and sold one through them over the last 3 years, on all 3 occasions the service was great. The first bike was an international order that we did some customization on, it came in as ordered and Glen came by my house to set it up . When I was ready for an upgrade he actually located a buyer for my first bike, all for a very reasonable commission. Recently he assisted in finding me a 2nd bike, from an individual who was trying to sell it out of an estate sale, that purchase has worked out great. Glen is a super solid guy and you can feel comfortable and confident in doing business with him.

Thank you, Glen, for your outstanding support and advice. As newbies in the world of recumbent triking, this is especially crucial. After several months into our new experience we believe that we have exactly what we need and your expert follow-on guidance in its use. You have snagged two new customers for life and we look forward to having the same level of support and guidance as our experience levels continue to increase. We will be availing ourselves of more triking adventures with you soon.

Tx Glen Helpful information.
The Alfine 11 you installed for me is working smoothly .
Good low end and high range and the middle gears provide smooth shifting to suit the little ups and downs.
Great job Installing it. Tx.

Once on the road I put 21 K/ph on cruise and headed for a 3 Km hill to 500 ft.elevation. I used #5 assist to clear that in about 10 min. averaging over 20 K/h. What is not to like? Installation was easy, the only problem was easily resolved by your prompt suggestions and extra parts you supplied on loan. The electric hub has the typical gear whine mostly at high load and speed and that is well worth it. The price? Your honest advice on purchasing my used trike had saved me most of the cost of the electrical conversion in the first place it also convinced me to buy the parts from you and depend on your experience on a one time purchase. It was also cheaper then anything else I looked up. Again thank you Glen.

Bob and I have been very happy with the service and advice we received from you. We particularly appreciated your prompt response to our queries and the arrangements you made for us to try out trikes in Nanaimo. Absolutely no complaints. Finally, I am very happy with the trike I chose with your invaluable assistance. Feel free to use me as a reference.
