The Amtryke Therapeutic Tricycle Program is about abilities, not disabilities. Our goal is to provide people in need with all the classic benefits of riding a bike: mobility, strength, exercise, coordination, interaction with family and friends, and just pure fun!
Amtryke makes foot trykes, hand trykes, and hand & food trykes in a wide range of sizes. Nearly every rider can be successful, no matter their diagnosis, through our full line of highly adjustable trykes and myriad of adaptive accessories.
For physical therapist or occupational therapist clinicians the Amtryke will provide an age appropriate, safe, dynamic modality for improving balance, coordination, and strength. It’s so fun, your clients won’t even know they’re receiving therapy! Using the tryke at home or during therapy often builds endurance and self-confidence. It also provides another form of self-mobility for those who use assistive devices such as a wheelchair, crutches or walker. Our highly adjustable tykes and wide range of adaptations makes this unique tricycle a valuable addition to the repertoire of any clinic, medical therapy unit, or adaptive physical education program. Each tryke can be quickly and easily adjusted without tools to fit many riders.
For parents, the Amtryke fills the need of every child to have a bike—just like their siblings and friends. Many riders not previously considered capable of riding a bike will be successful of riding an Amtryke. Our trykes are designed to look like bikes, not medical equipment, and to be age appropriate.
National AMBUCS, a 501c3 charitable organization and owner of Amtryke, has provided over 50,000 Amtrykes to riders across America. Local AMBUCS chapters work on the grassroots level to fundraise. Riders must be evaluated by a physical or occupational therapist to be eligible. Amarillo Palo Duro AMBUC Amtryke Chairman is Diane Seitz 806-731-9931

We are part of a larger nonprofit service organization consisting of a diverse group of men and women who are ready to make a difference in their respective communities. Members fulfill the organization’s mission by performing various forms of community service, but primarily by awarding AmTryke therapeutic tricycles to individuals unable to operate traditional bikes and awarding scholarships to therapists.
Our chapter is the oldest, continually active Ambucs organization in the United States. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of each month from 11:45-1:00pm in the Sunburst Room on the 30th floor of the Amarillo Club which is located in the Chase building at 600 South Tyler in Downtown Amarillo.
