What Is an AmTryke®?

AmTrykes® are adaptive tricycles designed to make cycling accessible, enjoyable, and beneficial for riders of all ages and abilities. Built with stability, comfort, and flexibility at their core, AmTrykes® allow individuals to experience the physical, emotional, and social benefits of riding in ways traditional bicycles often cannot. Through foot power, hand power, or a combination of both, AmTrykes® encourage active movement that supports strength, coordination, endurance, and motor skill development, while also fostering confidence, independence, and inclusion. Whether used for therapy, fitness, or recreation, AmTrykes® help riders participate more fully in activities with family, friends, and their communities.

Who Can Benefit from an AmTryke®?

AmTrykes® can benefit a wide range of riders, including children, teens, and adults who need additional support or alternative methods of mobility. They are commonly used by individuals with physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, limb differences, or orthopedic conditions, as well as by people with developmental or neurological differences that affect balance, coordination, or motor planning. Therapists and families also use AmTrykes as tools for rehabilitation and skill-building, supporting goals related to strength, range of motion, cardiovascular health, and functional mobility, while still emphasizing fun and engagement.

Understanding the Different AmTryke® Models

To meet these diverse needs, AmTryke® offers a variety of models that differ in riding position, propulsion method, and support features. Upright foot-powered trykes support riders who can pedal with their legs and want a more traditional cycling experience, while hand-powered and combined hand-and-foot models engage the upper body, lower body, or both to promote coordination and reciprocal movement. Recumbent models provide a more reclined position with added back and postural support for riders who need greater stability or comfort. With adjustable frames, seating options, and a wide range of accessories, each AmTryke can be customized to match the rider’s abilities, goals, and growth—ensuring a safe, supportive, and empowering riding experience.
