What is an Amtryke?

An Amtryke is a highly customizable, adaptive tricycle designed for individuals—children or adults—with physical or developmental disabilities. It helps promote mobility, strength, coordination, and independence, and is often used as a therapeutic tool.

Who is eligible to receive an Amtryke?

Anyone with a medical or physical condition that makes riding a traditional bicycle difficult or impossible may be eligible. This includes people with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, Down syndrome, autism, and other conditions affecting balance or coordination.

To apply, you need to:

  • Complete an Amtryke Request Form through a qualified therapist.
