Fun Facts About Adult Tricycles

By Douglas Fisher


Thanks to baby boomers, certain staples that were once considered obsolete are now making a comeback in modern society. In the case of getting the right amount of exercise and fun, one may want to consider tinkering around with a fun and stable recreational unit. Here are some interesting facts about getting an adult trike.

One is that there are several structures put into their designs. This recreational equipment differs from traditional bicycles mainly because they operate on three wheels. However, certain elements of the device are also taken into consideration like their seating type, handle bar shapes, and their degree of weight support which accommodates various other patients.

For upright designs, these types are generally created with added support. For instance, manufacturers make it a point to make it comfortable for hand placement, lower back support, and easier weight distribution so users can shift their directions with ease. Depending on the designer, these models can carry persons who are around two hundred fifty pounds.

Semi recumbent and recumbent models however are designed for persons who are heavier than average. They can usually accommodate to patients who weight somewhere up to four hundred pounds. These models also offer less pressure when one wishes to position their body during exercise since many options include padded platform seats. This makes it an excellent choice for individuals who wish to lose weight without worrying about tipping over.

One very important fact is they offer physical and psychological advantages. People who regularly exercise tend to handle stress way better because they are producing endorphins that help them combat their anxiety. Exercise also promotes muscle strength, proper posture, bone health, and improved coordination, all of which are essential in order to perform various activities.

Additionally, tricycles also offer a safer alternative for people who are unable to operate regular bicycles. These refer to persons who more or less have a preexisting condition that make it harder for them to balance or stay in control. Some examples include patients with coordination issues, senior citizens with back issues, and even persons who are overweight and need something more grounded.

One other fact to consider is that they are a great alternative to traditional bicycles. These specially made devices are not just for people with certain conditions, they can be used by anyone and everyone so long as they are able to move their arms and legs. For children who are still learning how to balance, getting them to try out a tricycle can be a great learning opportunity before they try a two wheel option.

One last thing to remember is they are covered by some insurance firms. Certain companies often classify bariatric tricycles as DMEs since it promotes health. One firm that offers help is Medicare although users are still advised to submit a request letter with supplemental information to get approved. For persons under private firms, check our agency first before buying a unit.

With these facts in mind, one can expect that these recreational devices will continue to be popular for a very long period of time. However, while they do offer health benefits, users should still consider consulting with their physician first before buying your equipment. This is to ensure that your health condition is strong enough and you can learn about the risk factors that come with straining your joints and muscles.
