Amtryke RS16
The Amtryke RS16 tricycle has a fixed drive that helps children who might otherwise have problems making a full pedal rotation. The foot crank is constantly in motion for full therapeutic effect. A highly supportive and adjustable seat is particularly helpful for those with low tone and/or trunk control.

A fixed gear allows the rider to reverse the trike and to slow it down without using a brake lever. The trike’s momentum carries the cranks past top-dead-centre which can be helpful for developing leg strength and flexibility. Coasting is not possible with a fixed drive; when limb motion stops, the bike does as well.
Another indispensable feature is the detachable carer-control mechanism, which is connected to the trike’s steering and allows the parent or carer to give a helpful push or do some corrective steering.
The Amtryke Rear-Steer models are available in two other sizes:
