The IMP is capable of supporting up to 70 lbs. It has a low gear ratio for easy pedaling, 12 1/2" wheels, and smaller handlebars for those smaller fingers and hands.
The standard gearing on this trike is the 18 Tooth chainwheel - other gearing is available to meet the needs of your child.
Why BUY The IMP Tricycle:
- The dual axle drive system reduces pedaling resistance, making it easier to ride for a child with low muscle tone and decreased strength.
- This dual-axle special needs tricycle is outfitted with a low ratio 1:1 fixed gear- this means that for one revolution of the pedals there is one revolution of the wheels.
- The fixed gear design enables the child with special needs to start moving the tricycle easily, put the tricycle in reverse, and slow down if going too fast!
- FREE PUNCTURE PROOF TIRES
- FREE SHIPPING
There is a 4-6 week lead-time on all tricycles - Red and Blue may ship quicker than other colors.
