Special needs: Playing freely

“We believe in play therapy” says the President of Italtrike “and we want to eliminate as many difficulties as possible for those children who have special needs. It is not an orthopaedic device but simply a toy studied to accompany children with disabilities, sitting joyfully on their tricycle well fastened and secured”.

Italtrike “ZERO”: better together

When we design best trikes for children with special needs, we always have the support of medical specialists, so all our products benefit from this experience. All children without any exception should have the opportunity to laugh and smile at the excitement of being on a tricycle. For this reason we have studied the tricycle “Zero” dedicated to those children with motor disabilities. Production began thanks to a staff of experts who worked effectively to make the dream come true: to give special children an opportunity to be active with a tricycle.

Pilot Zero Limits Tricycles by Italtrike

Pilot Zero tricycles are part of Italtrike’s ‘Zero Limits’ line; a range of products designed to guarantee children’s right to play and move. This special tricycle is equipped with a sturdy steel pole with a height-adjustable flebo holder. A push handle allows adults to accompany children or fully manoeuvre the tricycle, giving the kids the feeling of riding independently. The Pilot Zero tricycle is made in Italy by Italtrike and is available in three different sizes: 100, 200 and 300 for kids from 1 to 6 years of age. The Pilot Zero Tricycle has been designed to bring a smile, a playful moment or simply some distraction to the kids and their caregivers during such a sensitive time as therapy.

Flurry, the digital-bike by Italtrike

Flurry is the digital bike produced in Italy by Italtrike. It is a platform bike encouraging children’s learning and motor coordination through physical and playful activity. This innovative bicycle for children combines motor activity and the digital world by stimulating both the cognitive as well as the motor and movement coordination spheres. A tool for a healthier and more effective learning and development. In fact, it is by pedalling, adjusting speed and controlling direction via the handlebars that children send game commands to the tablet. In this way, they become protagonists of the games thanks to an active interaction. Flurry is also a useful tool for the adult/ professional who, with the same product, can record, analyse and monitor the progress and evolution of children’s abilities.

The tricycle “Zero” was awarded in 2016 as an innovative product at the TG Toys.

A tricycle for two, designed to promote the inclusion of disability (physical, mental, cognitive). Each child contributes to the play according to their own skills: the two places have different and complementary actions to learn that together… it is simpler and better!
