The dream of riding along with friends and family or just for a fun ride on your own tricycle. Rifton Adaptive Tricycles provide therapeutic, reciprocal exercise with all the fun of riding. This therapeutic trike grows with your child; you adjust it all with the twist of a knob! That's right, no tools. Rifton Adaptive Tricycles meet or exceed all ANSI safety standards for special needs tricycles. Adult supervision is required.


Therapy that's fun & functionally beneficial

Tricycle riding allows children to exercise their lower extremities in a way that's fun while also therapeutic. According to Lori Potts, PT, writing on the Rifton website, "As the muscles move through cycling motions, they are flexed, extended and stretched. This range of motion is crucial for children with disabilities, because muscles are incapable of keeping up with bone growth unless fully extended."

While an activity with a wide range of motion encourages muscles and bones to grow at the same rate, according to Ms. Potts, "cycling has the added benefit of strengthening gross motor control development."

The many accessory options provided for Rifton tricycles allows the child to operate the tricycle to the extent that his or her ability allows.

"Over time," says Ms. Potts, "improved strength of quadriceps, hip extensors, and the ankle muscles, as well as improved trunk stabilization and balance will show itself."
