Helping Kids Be Kids
Each Amtryke is custom-made and custom-fit for the child's special need.
The ability to ride a bike is often not a reality for children with physical or developmental challenges. Properly balanced and safely supported, almost any child can ride an Amtryke. They are designed to address the special and varied needs of any individual with disabilities.
Helps build important physical and life skills
Proven to build motor skills, strength and self esteem.
Fun for kids
It is fun to ride and offers the child the chance for age appropriate inclusive play.

Tryke Assembly Team
Corazon Experience
We are proud to work with the Yolo County Office of Education, College and Career Readiness Department, which has partnered with Manolo Jauregui and Pascual Marquez of Marquez Design, both credentialed teachers in areas of manufacturing, product design and transportation, to form the Corazon Experience.
The Corazon Experience works with high school age students from various demographics. All of the students in the program are enrolled in a CTE course and those that participate in the bike build outside of their regular school day will be able to earn community service hours. The students will learn skill sets in areas of tool identification and proper use, measuring, and manufacturing. Students will also learn the importance of providing service to others.
