Amtryke is a unique tricycle created for physically challenged children. 
It is designed to be driven with both foot pedal and hand crank. 



 

   

 

The Amtryke was originated and developed by the Longview Ambucs.
The first 200 or so units were produced individually by members of
the local club starting in 1989.  It soon became apparent that the device
produced amazing results for the children who were lucky enough to
receive one.  In 1993, local members took the project to our national
organization.  In 1994, national AMBUCS adopted the Amtryke as a
pet project.  Profesionally manufactured Amtrykes were soon being
purchased and distributed by Ambuc clubs all over the country.  Since
those humble beginnings, more than 10,000 Amtrykes have been given
away by Ambuc chapters nationwide.  Models have been developed for
all ages of children and adults, with adaptations to fit many different
special physical needs.  See them at www.amtrykestore.org.
