The Escape to the Country star showed off his new electric bike which helps him travel with his sons on Instagram alongside the caption: "Since delivery of our @babboe_cargobike it’s been out most days.
"I’m obviously a lot weaker these days and would never be strong enough to cart these ankle biters around but with electric power assistance I can pretty much go anywhere.

"The boys love it and it’s made the nursery run fun (if I’m up in time) it’s probably cut our car use by about 50% so obviously much greener so hopefully making up for some of the naughty motors in my past. #gamechanger."
Irwin first received his cancer diagnosis in 2020 when the disease was found in his lung.
However, he didn't go public with the diagnosis until November 2022 when the disease had spread to his brain.
He lives in Newcastle with wife Jess and their three sons, Rex, four, and three-year-old twins Rafa and Cormac.
