Overview

You can help AMBUCS give the gift of mobility to children with disabilities. Children regardless of their ability should experience the simple pleasure of riding a bike. AmTryke therapeutic tricycles are designed to allow children with a variety of disabilities to do just that.   

AmTrykes can be “pedaled” with hands or feet and can be adapted in many ways including frame size, seat selection, knees separators and can allow for trunk support. Children with limited mobility options can receive exercise to improve heart and lung function, promote bone strength and improve cognitive function.  AmTrykes allow for inclusive play and are fun to ride.  

Nationally the AMBUCS AmTryke Therapeutic Tricycle Program has donated over 12,000 AmTrykes, but there are over 300 children across the country currently on the National AmTryke Wish List. Help us give an additional 100 children the the gift of an AmTryke.
