What Happened to Mountain Trike After Dragons’ Den?

Mountain Trike appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2013, Series 11 Episode 5. The business was a wheelchair designed for mountain hiking. They secured investment from Deborah Meaden on the show. The business is still active today.

The Pitch

Tim Morgan walked into the Den in 2013 with a wheelchair designed for mountain hiking. They were asking for £100,000 in exchange for 15% of the business.

The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.

The Deal

A deal was struck on the show. Deborah Meaden offered £100,000 for 15%, and Tim Morgan accepted.

It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.

What Happened After the Show

Mountain Trike is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2013, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.

Is Mountain Trike Still in Business?

Yes. Mountain Trike appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
