Rifton Small Tricycle
Get outdoors, get active, with safety and support.
Kids (and adults!) should always have the opportunity to play outdoors and have some fun. The Rifton Tricycle gets clients outdoors for an experience with as little or as much assistance as they need. Regardless of function, independence is gained and social interaction happens naturally. Not to mention improvements in strength, balance, and neuromuscular feedback.
With its clever design, the Rifton Tricycle takes into consideration the needs of every user. Easily adjustable and removable accessories help the rider fit when they’re in, and transfer off without worry. Leaving the whole experience as one they’ll want to have again and again, further improving physical and mental health.
The Small Rifton Trike accommodates riders with an inside leg length of 12″-22” (inches). The maximum weight for the Small is 125lbs (pounds). Please see the Size Guide for complete specifications on all 3 sizes. Need a larger Trike? Consider the Medium Rifton Tricycle or Large Rifton Tricycle.

Testimonial:
“One of my students received a Rifton tricycle with a trunk support system and rear steering bar. He is both cognitively impaired and blind, and now he can ride a bike just like other children his age. The rear steering feature is fantastic, and allows him to ride at a faster pace than when using the front guide bar. This tricycle allows him to function and be a part of society just like his peers!”
