Page 3: About Amtrykes
AmTryke® therapeutic tricycles, owned and operated by National AMBUCS™ Inc., are designed for people with disabilities who are unable to operate a traditional bicycle. AmTryke tricycles or “trykes,” can be operated by feet, hands or both, and include a wide variety of models. The trykes can also be adjusted to fit the needs of different riders, including frame size, type of seat, trunk and leg supports. -

See Fitting AmTryke for Rider section in this manual for more information. Here are some tips about riding safety: •... - Page 5 • Riders should only be allowed to ride trykes that are the appropriate size.
