The Amtryke Therapeutic Tryke Program is about abilities, not disabilities. Our goal is to provide access to all the classic benefits of riding a bike: mobility, strength, exercise, coordination, interaction with family and friends, and just pure fun!
Amtryke makes foot trykes, hand trykes, and hand & foot trykes in a wide range of sizes. Nearly every rider can be successful, no matter their diagnosis, through our full line of highly adjustable trykes and myriad of adaptive accessories.
Many riders not previously considered capable of riding a bike will be successful riding an Amtryke. There are many reasons why, but here are the three most important:
- Most of our bikes employ a fixed drive, or ‘fixie.’ The fixed drive doesn’t allow coasting so whenever the tryke is in motion, the pedals are in motion for full therapeutic effect. It also works on a mechanical level to help a rider make a full pedal rotation.
- We make classic foot pedaled trykes, ones that can be peddled with just the hands and others that are pedaled using both hands and feet.
- We offer an impressive array of adaptive accessories.
Our trykes are designed to look like bikes, not medical equipment, and to be age appropriate.
Using the tryke at home or during therapy often builds endurance and self-confidence. It also provides another form of self-mobility for those who use assistive devices such as a wheelchair, crutches or walker.
Our highly adjustable trykes and wide range of adaptations makes this unique tricycle a valuable addition to the repertoire of any clinic, medical therapy unit, or adaptive physical education program. Each tryke can be quickly and easily adjusted without tools to fit many riders.
