Am 16 Tricycle Appraisal

AmTryke ProSeries AM-16 Adaptive Tricycle

This is an AmTryke ProSeries adaptive tricycle, specifically designed for individuals with physical disabilities to improve motor skills and provide mobility. The vehicle features a bright red powder-coated steel frame with a semi-recumbent positioning. It is equipped with three wheels for maximum stability: one in the front and two in the rear. A distinctive feature is the hand-and-foot drive system, allowing the rider to propel the cycle using both their arms via the wrap-around handlebars and their legs via the pedals, which include weighted foot plates and Velcro straps for secure positioning. The seat is a molded black plastic tractor-style saddle with an integrated adjustable backrest for lumbar support. A wire cargo basket is mounted at the rear. The braking system consists of a hand-operated lever on the handlebars. Visible condition issues include significant surface oxidation and pitting on the chrome-plated steering column and handlebar assembly, suggesting exposure to moisture or high humidity. The red paint on the main frame appears generally intact but shows minor scuffs consistent with use. The foam padding on the handlebars shows light wear, and the tires appear to be inflatable rubber with standard tread patterns. The item appears to be an older model, likely dating from the mid-2000s based on the 'AmTryke 16' decal design.
