At Rifton, we believe every child deserves to experience the joy and freedom of bike riding. Our adaptive tricycle is more than fun— it’s a tool for growth, inclusion, and movement. Whether for school, therapy, or home, this special needs tricycle is designed to make independent mobility possible for children and teens who can’t use a standard bike.
We’re excited to announce a new freewheel feature for the Rifton Adaptive Tricycle! The freewheel allows caregivers to disconnect the pedals from the drivetrain so the tricycle can coast while the pedals stay stationary. This allows the rider to rest when tired or needing to be transported quickly, while remaining seated on the tricycle. The tricycle can switch between drive mode and freewheel mode easily with the flick of a switch near the rear wheels.
We’ve also added new high traction tires designed to improve wheel traction on outdoor surfaces such as gravel, woodchips, dirt or mud. They improve the experience of pedaling and steering for rougher outdoor activities, but roll equally well on hard, smooth surfaces due to a smooth centre band.
Riding builds strength, balance, and confidence. And for many children with disabilities, such as limited mobility, an adaptive bike is a medically necessary device, not just a recreational extra.
