First developed in 1970, more children have grown up using the Tri-Lo (Thistle) brand of hand cycles than any other cycles. Easy to pedal and control with a comfortable seating position for hours of fun, the Theraplay handcycles are designed specifically to provide fun therapy and independence for children with Spina Bifida and for any other child where the use of the lower limbs is restricted.
The robust frame has allowance for growth to ensure the rider can gain a comfortable sitting position. Braking is provided by a reverse braking system which means the rider's hands never have to leave the hand pedals when controlling the trike.
Designed for younger children as a first cycle, the Mini Tri-Lo has an easy to pedal gear with a broad seat for comfort and support.
