It’s the Bike You Pedal Up & Down (not round & round)
The
Patented Step
’n Go Treadle System lets the rider propel the bike with a simple
weight shift or muscle extension. The Treadle Transmission
automatically responds to the rider’s natural range of motion,
allowing short, long or uneven strokes. Range
of Motion Adjusters dial in the excursion of the treadles from 4 - 8”;
simply change their position on the Variable
Resistance Selector Bar to modify each treadle’s mechanical
advantage for a rider’s specific needs.
! It’s Easy to Balance
The
unique 3-Wheel
Design and upright riding position provide a stable platform for
teaching weight shifting and proprioception. The rider requires less effort to balance the bike when riding and can
comfortably rest on the bike's seat when at a standstill. There is no need
to get off or put a foot on the ground for balance when stopped.
The
dual front wheel steering is easy to learn and control and is
less tippy when cornering than a standard tricycle that has the single
wheel in the front. Therapists have reported that the rider's ability to
see the two front wheels ahead of them gives them an added sense of
stability.
! It’s
Easy to Get On and Off
The
Easy Access Frame lets the rider step on and off with confidence from
either side. Wide, nonslip footpads are only 4’’off the ground and
provide secure footing. The locking brake lever holds the cycle stationary
until it is released.
! It’s Easy to Adjust for All Sizes
The
One Size Fits All
Design eliminates the need for complicated sizing so people of all
sizes and ages can ride the same bike - just position the adjustable seat
and handlebars to fit the rider. Everyone's feet reach the treadles! The standard steering
column and handlebars can be adjusted down or up to fit riders from four
feet to over six feet tall. A shorter steering column fits riders four
feet or less. Large or small, young or old - it’s impossible to outgrow
of Step ’n Go!
! It’s the Most Natural Way to Cycle
The
Reciprocal Stepping Action is similar to the weight shifting motion
required for walking. The dependent treadles lift one leg as the other is
depressed, using both body weight and muscle strength for power. This
provides a closed chain, weight bearing, cardiovascular exercise. If the
rider can stand, they can probably ride the Step ’n Go!
