National and European expansion on the cards for electric tricycle retailer

York-based electric tricycle retailer, Jorvik Tricycles, has reported an annual turnover of £3.2m as it prepares for further expansion this year.

Through strategic restructuring of the management team and continued research and development, the company aims for 15 per cent growth in 2025, driven by a UK and EU stockist expansion, a new mobility range, and the opening of a second UK showroom.

The business was founded in 2014 by James Walker and has grown from humble beginnings, with tricycles initially being made in Walker’s living room in York.

Walker, founder and MD, said: “We’re starting 2025 with big plans. The last 10 years have been an exceptional journey – from starting as a passion project to help my father in his battle with Parkinson’s, the growth and interest from the public has been greater than we ever anticipated.

“It’s been incredible to see first-hand how our Jorvik tricycles can improve peoples lives and provide them with increased independence.

“As we look forward to the next 10 years and our vision for growth, we hope to continue to bring more choice and styles to the market, providing people of all abilities with the physical and mental benefits of cycling.

“Our goal is to help get people outside and enjoy their independence, our exciting new range and expansion plans for 2025 will play a huge role in achieving that objective.

“Launching a new expertly designed mobility range and a second showroom is a huge milestone for Jorvik Tricycles.”

At the end of 2024, the business also welcomed a new chief operations officer, Matt Lindon.

Lindon said: “I am thrilled to join a company that has such big ambitions for the future. Jorvik has already had an incredible journey underpinned by a motivational story.

“I’m looking forward to working with the team in such a pivotal role  to plan and deliver their future growth plans.”
