Construction & design

A public-friendly bike with industrial bones.

The patent-pending Rail Glider is built so a small crew can run a full day of tours — and so guests from small children to adults up to 6'4" and 250 lb can settle in without a toolbox.

Our family-friendly railbike design is meant to be the key to an operation’s success. Rail Gliders delight customers with simple, smooth running. They are designed to be operated and maintained with a minimum of staff and skill, so the business stays profitable.

Seats are infinitely adjustable, even while sitting in them. No tools, turntables, or heavy lifting are required to operate the bikes. They can be turned anywhere by flipping the seats, so customers ride as much or as little as they want.

Safety disc brakes can be operated by any rider at any time with a cord accessible to every rider. A handbrake prevents roll-aways. A flexible frame keeps all four wheels on the rails on uneven track and with uneven passenger weight, lessening the chance of derailment.

Adjustable for the whole family

No lifting to reverse

Tours go out as a group and everyone turns around at the same time. Change direction by reversing the seats and flipping the switches — no tools, turntable, or heavy lifting.

Brakes every rider can reach
