Description

Ride with your friends!

Most of us have fond memories of childhood bike rides. At Rifton we believe everyone deserves the chance to ride, especially someone with physical disabilities.

And thankfully, even insurers and other funding sources are beginning to recognize that for a person with disabilities, a trike is far more than merely recreational; an adaptive tricycle is often medically necessary for someone who cannot walk independently or who sits for long hours in a wheelchair.

The Benefits:

Therapeutic benefits of tricycling:

  • Lower extremity strengthening
  • Reciprocal leg motion patterning
  • Balancing skills
  • Using visual, spatial perception for steering
  • Social interaction with peers and neighbors

Benefits of using the Adaptive Tricycle:

Accessories

Trunk support system
The trunk support stabilizes a rider with poor trunk control. The back rest adjusts for height and seat depth, and laterals can be removed for transfer. A butterfly harness provides anterior support.

Upgrading your old Rifton Tricycle? If you are purchasing a trunk support system for your existing Rifton Tricycle, be sure to include a new-style backrest tube with handle in your order, as it will not retrofit onto the old-style backrest tubes.
(Any Rifton Tricycle made within the last 17 years can be upgraded.)
Additional backrest
Additional backrest with security strap provides extra support.
