We believe the fun and freedom of riding your own bike is something everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy. People who are unable to operate a traditional bike can now share this experience, thanks to the Amtryke therapeutic tricycle. These unique trykes are designed to accommodate riders of all ages and a myriad of physical and/or developmental challenges. Both Physical and Occupational Therapists acknowledge the Amtryke’s many therapeutic benefits, citing improved motor skills, strength development and self-esteem.¹ Amtryke, LLC is fully owned and operated by National AMBUCS, Inc. a nationwide 501c3 nonprofit charity dedicated to creating mobility and independence for people with disabilities.
