The ASR 16 Odyssey Tricycle By Freedom Concepts
Created with care by adaptive and mobility experts, Freedom Concepts, the ASR 16 Odyssey is their most adjustable cycle, intended for use by special needs children and special needs teens between the ages of 7 and 16 years. This balance assisting trike is ideal for use by children and teens with cerebral palsy, spinal bifida, head injury, autism, downs syndrome and muscular dystrophy. The ASR 16 is perfect for users with limited mobility as the stretched and stable, 3 wheeled design allows the user to sit with legs up and in front of them, for maximum pedaling power, while a self-centering spring will help with hand/eye co-ordination.
