What frame size do you recommend for my height?

Please refer to our amtryke sizing chart for sizing details. Although height can be an important factor in purchasing an amtyke; measurements of both arm/leg lengths are important in choosing the best tryke.

Can I get an amtryke with different parts?

Yes, amtrykes are quite customizable. Please review our latest version of the amtryke catalogue for adaptive accessories.

What are my color options for my amtryke?

Amtryke frames come in one color: “Amtryke Red”. Most adaptive accessories will come in black or chrome plated; with the exception of add-ons like wrist wraps, water bottles, license plates, etc.

How much do your bikes weigh?

Our trykes range from a minimum of 45 lbs to a maximum of 90 lbs. Tryke weights are also listed on our sizing chart.

What gearing do your bikes come with?

Most amtrykes come with single-speed “fixed” gearing. With the exception of our 3, 7, or 14-speed trykes. 3-speed and 7-speed conversion kits available for select models.

 What do the last 4 numbers mean in regards to the ProSeries 1400 series?

The last two digits in the sku # represent the wheel size: 1.) ProSeries 1412 = 12” wheels; 2.) ProSeries 1416 = 16” wheels; 3.) ProSeries 1420 = 20” wheels

 What is the recommended tire pressure on my amtryke?

35 PSI is the recommended air pressure for the following trykes: AM-10, AM-12S, AM-12, AM-16, AM-20, 1024, 1410, Snappy, 1412, 1416, 1420, 1420-XL, 2722. 65 PSI is the recommended air pressure for the JT-2000, JT-2300-USS, HP-1000, and Tadpole

 My chain keeps slipping off, what’s the issue?

Your chain may not be aligned with the sprocket. Check the alignment of the chain from the rear of the tryke to see if this is the case. If problem persists, please contact Technical and Customer Support 1-800-838-1845 Extension 117

 My amtryke barely moves when pushed or while riding. What could be the issue?

During installation, the rear wheels could have been tightened too much—you will know this when you turn the wheel by hand (while one side of tryke is suspended in the air) and it does not turn freely. Loosen the wheel nuts a quarter turn to see if this helps. Also check whether your brakes are engaged or not.

 How can I prepare my amtryke for transport?

Amtrykes can be partially disassembled for transport. You can loosen quick releases at loop handlebars to decrease height of tryke. Seat backs can also be removed by loosening the black knob located on your seatpost.

 My handlebars are loose, how can I fix this issue?

Double-check the tightness of your quick release levers and/or stem collar that holds your clamps over your selected handlebars.

Do you have any amtryke dealers in my area?

Amtryke does not have dealers in the traditional sense, rather we utilize volunteer AMBUCS chapter member and therapists to help inform people about our products. We recommend contacting the closest chapter to you in order to establish an amtryke relationship outside of the Ambucs Resource Center (ARC). You may find a list of AMBUCS chapters using the chapter directory here on our website. 

How long will it take to get my bike?

Who assembles and boxes my bike for shipping?

Trykes come are designed to be partially assembled. User is responsible for the remaining assembly using instructions provided. We recommend a local bike shop to assemble trykes if needed.

What do I do if the bike arrives damaged?

If your amtryke arrives damaged, it was likely done during transport. If you suspect the shipping company made the error, please send pictures documenting the incident. Email pictures to amtryke@ambucs.org From there, amtryke will send you replacement parts if necessary.
