The recumbent trike offers a stable, comfortable, and accessible cycling experience for riders of all abilities. With a low center of gravity and three wheels, they provide excellent balance and reduce the risk of tipping. The reclined seat supports the back and distributes weight evenly, making it a great option for people with limited mobility, balance challenges, or joint pain.
The upright hand tricycle allows individuals with limited mobility below the waist to ride independently using their arms to pedal. It’s also a great option for riders who need back or trunk support. Some upper body strength is required to operate the hand pedals comfortably.
The recumbent bicycle is designed for riders with good balance who prefer additional back and trunk support. It’s also a great choice for those who feel anxious about traditional upright bikes that sit higher off the ground, offering a more relaxed seating position with easy access to the ground for added confidence and comfort.
The adult tricycle offers increased stability for riders who may find it challenging to balance on a traditional two-wheeled bike. It has an upright seating position without back or trunk support, so riders should be comfortable maintaining this posture. A rear basket provides convenient storage for personal items or small bags.
The sport hand tricycle offers individuals with limited mobility below the waist the ability to ride independently using arm-powered pedaling. It provides back and trunk support, similar to the upright model, but features a more reclined seating position with legs extended forward. This athletic posture is designed for increased speed and performance. Some upper body strength is required to operate the hand pedals effectively.
The cargo bicycle enables riders to carry materials or trained service animals during their ride. It requires a confident cyclist with good balance and enough strength to pedal both themselves and the load in the cargo bucket.
Note: The cargo bin is not designed to carry passengers of any age.
The side-by-side tricycle is designed for two riders to sit next to each other, making it easy to communicate and enjoy the ride together. It’s a great option for individuals who may feel hesitant or anxious about riding alone. Each rider can pedal independently, with shared control over steering, braking, and speed. A rear basket offers convenient storage space
The two-wheeled tandem offers all the features of a standard bicycle while accommodating two riders. Its step-through frame makes mounting and dismounting easy. The front rider, or captain, should be a confident cyclist comfortable with balancing and providing a strong start. The rear seat is ideal for visually impaired riders, those who may need additional support, or anyone who feels apprehensive about balancing a two-wheeled bike alone.
This cycle offers a shared riding experience for people of all abilities. The Rear Rider steers and propels the trike, while the Front Rider can pedal as they’re able—or simply enjoy the ride. The front seat includes back support and a seatbelt for added comfort and safety, and the front pedals have optional foot straps for extra stability. This design accommodates riders with physical, cognitive, or emotional disabilities, providing a safe and engaging way to enjoy outdoor activity and social connection.
The low-step-through bicycle is ideal for riders who have difficulty lifting their legs over a traditional or higher step-through frame. Its lower frame height makes mounting and dismounting easier and safer. While it still requires good balance while riding, this bike is especially suited for those with limited knee mobility or who find it challenging to balance on one foot when getting on or off a bike.
"My wife is 86 years old with Primary Progressive Aphasia (Difficulty Speaking) and Early-Stage Alzheimer Disease along with mobility issues (She uses a cane to walk). She always liked walking and riding a bike on the trails, unfortunately now she is limited to short slow walks. The [Side-by-Side Tricycle] worked perfectly and it was a very pleasant afternoon with the other trail users smiling and waving as we rode by.”

"This was wonderful! Exercise has been really hard since being diagnosed with POTS (especially outdoors) and this was a really fun way for me to be able to ride a bike and be outside without the usual concerns I have with outdoors exercise.”

“I LOVED this program, thank you for doing this! I am an apprehensive bike rider but thoroughly enjoy the tandem experience with my husband!”
