Why Amtryke? We live the AMBUCS Mission of Inspiring Mobility and Independence!

We believe the fun and freedom of riding your own bike is something everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy. People who are unable to operate a traditional bike can now share this experience, thanks to the Amtryke adaptive tricycle.

These unique trykes are designed to accommodate riders of all ages and a myriad of physical and/or developmental challenges.

Both Physical and Occupational Therapists acknowledge the Amtryke’s many therapeutic benefits, citing improved motor skills, strength development and self-esteem.¹

Amtryke, LLC is fully owned and operated by National AMBUCS, Inc.  a nationwide 501c3 nonprofit charity dedicated to inspiring mobility & independence.

To date, over 40,000 Amtrykes have been provided around the United States. The majority of these trykes are purchased by volunteer members of the AMBUCS organization and donated free of charge to financially-needy children or Veterans in their own community.

“We are all CAPABLE, we just roll a different way!”
