AmTryke Therapeutic Tricycle
The fun and freedom of riding your own bike is something everyone should be able
to enjoy. Now, thanks to the AmTryke® therapeutic tricycle, even
individuals who are unable to operate a traditional bike can finally realize
this wonderful experience.
Established in 1994, AmTryke®, LLC is a company owned and operated by National
AMBUCS™, Inc. AMBUCS is a national non-profit service organization dedicated to
creating mobility and independence for people with disabilities.
To date, over 15,300 AmTryke vehicles have been distributed around the world.
The majority of these trykes are purchased by volunteer members of the AMBUCS
organization and donated free of charge to financially-needy children.
These unique tricycles, which can be hand and/or foot operated, are designed to
accommodate riders of all ages, sizes, and varying degrees of physical
limitations.
Both physical and occupational therapists acknowledge the AmTryke tricycle's
many therapeutic benefits, citing improved motor skills, strength development
and self-esteem.
