About AmTrykes
®
AmTryke® therapeutic tricycles, owned and operated by National AMBUCS™
Inc., are designed for people with disabilities who are unable to operate a
traditional bicycle. AmTryke tricycles or “trykes,” can be operated by feet,
hands or both, and include a wide variety of models. The trykes can also be
adjusted to fit the needs of different riders, including frame size, type of seat,
trunk and leg supports.
AmTryke’s
AM-12S
,
AM-12
and
AM-16
therapeutic tricycles have been
designed to build strength and coordination for a wide range of children with
disabilities. These trykes feature a continuous chain mechanism for hand/foot
movement and adjustable seating (up/down and forward/back). Foot plates
feature a heel trap, with toe and instep strap, to secure rider’s feet to pedals. A
loading brake makes transfer of rider safe and easy. These trykes also have a
safety steering pin for parental control.
All AM models can also be converted to a hand cycle with the installation of a
permanent foot platform. Foot cups and pedal blocks can be added on the
platform for lower extremity support.
AM-12
and
AM-16
also feature a hinged front end with three positions for
adjustable hand crank/foot crank seat alignment.
