Description

The adaptive tricycle can help children develop their coordination, and strength through steering exercises, uphill pedalling, stopping and starting, backing up, and safety awareness. It has become a form of therapy for many children, at home and school.

The Trike has a number of benefits for children. It helps to strengthen lower extremities, assists with balancing skills and reciprocal leg motion patterning, allows children to use visual and spatial perception for steering the trike, and it provides a way for social interaction. The Rifton trike has no-tool adjustments, a range of components to meet the needs of your child or client, and it aims to assist in building confidence and having fun.

Easy Access

Open access combined with a low transfer step make it easy to get on and off the bike.

Hook and Loop Straps

With the hook and loop straps on the self-levelling pedals, feet are secure. The rider can ride unaided and have some exercise and fun!

Rear Steering Bar

The optional rear steering bar lets a caregiver guide the tricycle from behind, providing the rider with a feeling of greater independence. It’s ideal for beginners who are learning to steer.

Puncture Proof Wheels

The Rifton Tricycle comes with puncture proof BMX-type wheels. A low gear ration makes pedalling easier for beginners and slows down speeders.

Communication Tray

The optional communication tray is easy to clean and designed to hold many things, including a communication device.
