What is the AmTryke® therapeutic tricycle?

An AmTryke not only gives the rider freedom of movement and builds self-esteem, but it assists with muscle development and improves coordination while making exercise fun. These unique tricycles, which can be hand or foot operated are designed to accommodate riders of all ages, sizes, and varying degrees of physical limitation.

DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Rotating handle bars are attached to the same chain drive as the foot pedals. This unique drive mechanism provides passive exercise to the weaker limbs. The rider can use hands or feet, whichever are strongest, to propel it. Velcro straps secure the feet to the pedals while torso hip safety belts maintain the rider in the seat. A wide wheel base and narrow turning radius provides stability. Multiple sizes are available with adjustments that can be made to accommodate the height, weight and reach of each individual.

Watching a child on the AmTryke for the first time as she discovers this newfound freedom and independence is truly a heart warming experience.
