Safety
Safety is very important to us. AmTryke products are designed in accordance
with the latest safety standards and are constantly monitored for quality. We
use information from this quality control to develop our products.
We urge all riders to seek the opinion of their health-care provider(s) before
riding their tryke.
AmTrykes should be used for their intended purpose only.
Safe Riding Tips
Before riding, familiarize yourself how the tryke operates —it’s steering,
braking and shift gears (if applicable). Adjust the seat, handlebars and pedals to
fit the rider. See Fitting AmTryke for Rider section in this manual for more
information.
Here are some tips about riding safety:
AmTrykes should be used with close adult supervision.
Riders must wear helmets. All our trykes include a free safety-rated helmet.
The helmet must fit appropriately. A properly fitting helmet sits on the head
comfortably
a helmet that sits high on the head is too small. Some
movement is acceptable, but a helmet that moves a lot is too large. See the
illustration below for reference:
Correct Way to Wear Helmet
Wear the helmet flat atop your head,
not tilted back at an angle.
Make sure the helmet fits snugly and
doesn’t obstruct your vision. The chin
strap should fit securely and the buckle
stay fastened.

skin when fastening helmet buckle.
