Adaptive Tricycle
Biking is more than just recreational; it’s therapeutic. We know the health benefits that come with cycling, especially for children with disabilities – improved leg strength, posture, balance and range of motion. We’ve also seen how it helps their socialization, their engagement with friends and family. Adaptive tricycles help non-ambulatory people experience the joy and freedom of independent movement.
Benefits
- Lower extremity strengthening
- Reciprocal leg motion patterning
- Balancing skills
- Using visual spatial perception for steering
- Social interaction with peers and neighbors
- Provides support and boundaries
Features
Seat adjustability
- The seat glides up and down on a low-friction rail with height indications marked in increments. This rider pushes with his feet to help his caregiver raise the seat.
Carbon fiber drive belt
- The carbon fiber drive belt will not rust or stretch, and will last at least five times longer than a bicycle chain.
Variable resistance & parking brake
- Variable pedal resistance: The adjustable brake can provide drag or lock the wheels for safe transfer.
Easy access
- The laterals and handlebar swing away for easy transfers.
