T5 Tricycles


Pictured above TMX T5 in metallic blue with basic saddle and Back Trunk Support


Derived from Theraplay's popular range of foot-propelled tricycles, the T5 Tricycle is designed for the more adventurous cyclist. Created with a robust frame that can absorb the bumps and hollows of our streets and pathways, the T5 gives the rider the ability to explore wider horizons with greater confidence.

Theraplay's design team have given special attention to the styling of the T5 Tricycle. Care has been taken to select components that will give maximum performance and enhance the appearance of the tricycle. Designed to suit the needs of teenage to adult riders, the T5 model incorporates a comfortable seating position that adjusts for growth, variable height handlebars and two forms of positive easy to use brakes.

T5 Tricycles are available with a choice of three types of gearing. A 5 Speed Shimano Indexed gearing system** gives the potential for longer distance rides where the rider is able to select the gear ratio depending upon the desired speed or gradient of hill. A single speed free-wheel gear is for riders who wish to cycle without the pedals constantly turning. This option will allow riders to navigate cycle paths and parks with ease. A fixed-gear provides the maximum therapeutic benefit for the rider and gives increased maneuverability. The foot pedals turn as the wheels turn, meaning both legs are given a thorough workout. This type of gearing enables the rider to control the speed of the tricycle with the foot pedals and to reverse if caught in a tight corner.



**5 Speed Shimano Indexed gearing system not available in the United States.

T5 available in the TMX T5, Tracker 20" T5, & Tracker 24" T5

Foot Sandals

The Foot Sandals are available in three sizes to accommodate different sizes of feet. They are constructed from a durable ABS plastic formed into a supportive foot shape. Each Foot Sandal has two webbing cross-over straps to hold the foot firmly in place. It is possible to add a pulley system which connects to the front of the Foot Sandals. The function of this system is to prevent the toe of the rider pointing downwards towards the ground when pushing on the pedals.

Tricycle - Trailer Hitch Combo Unit




The Tricycle/Trailer Hitch Combo Unit is a complete TMX or Terrier tricycle for the child to ride individually. It also comes with an interchangeable extension bar for joining the TMX or Terrier tricycle to an adults cycle. This enables a child to receive cycling time on their own as well as joining in on family cycling trips. The Combo Unit comes with an Option Drive gearing system. The Option Drive combines the features from both a Fixed and Free Wheel Gearing system. The gear can be locked into fixed drive mode with a locking plunger when the child is riding on their own. When the tricycle is attached to the adult cycle the Option Drive allows for the gearing to be converted into a free wheel gear. This keeps the child from having to pedal as the adult pedals. They can sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

The Tricycle/Trailer Hitch Combo Unit is currently available for only the Terrier and TMX tricycles.
