What is the AmTryke® therapeutic tricycle?

Do you know a child with disabilities who you think could benefit from an AmTryke® therapeutic tricycle? 

For years, the AmTryke has benefited and delighted children with disabilities. It gives children the opportunity to experience the fun and independence of riding a bicycle with their siblings and friends.

This unique tricycle is hand and/or foot powered.  It improves motor coordination, increases self-esteem and is fun to ride!

Physical and occupational therapists acknowledge the AmTryke tricycle's therapeutic benefits to patients, citing improved motor skills and strength development. In fact, the AmTryke was inspired by a therapist.

Be sure to check out the AmTryke product catalogue , showing all the models of the AmTryke® therapeutic tricycle.  There is a tryke available for children of all ages!  Don’t miss the list of accessories available to make the AmTryke accessible to children with a variety of disabilities.

How to get an AmTryke® therapeutic tricycle for a child

The first step is to see if there is an AmTryke Demonstration Site in your area.  These facilities have one or more of the models of trykes and the therapists can work with you to find out what tryke would work best for the child.

You can always order an AmTryke from the AMBUCS Store directly.

If you are unable to afford the cost of a tryke, you can work with a local AMBUCS chapter to fund the tryke or have the child’s name placed on the National Wish List.
