Communication tray

The communication tray is easy to clean and designed to hold many things, including your communication device.

It comes in two sizes:

A new improvement: The communication tray and front guide bar can now be used simultaneously.

Trunk support system: Trunk support system stabilizes a rider with poor balance. An optional headrest is available.

One size only: 14" wide x 15½" high.
It includes: padded backrest, butterfly harness, and two independent lateral supports.

Upgrading your old Rifton tricycle? If you are purchasing a trunk support system for your existing Rifton tricycle, be sure to include a new-style backrest tube with handle in your order, as it will not retrofit onto the old-style backrest tubes. (Any Rifton tricycle made within the last 12 years can be upgraded.)

Headrests: A headrest can be purchased with either a flat or contoured headpiece, and adjusts both horizontally and vertically for optimum positioning. The headrest attaches to the trunk support system, tool–free.

Additional backrest pad: The additional backrest pad has a security strap and buckle for additional support.

Abductor: The abductor provides comfortable abduction if needed. Just set it in place, tool–free. Abductors for the Medium R130 and Large R140 trikes are height–adjustable with a snap button.

Front guide bar: Front guide bar attaches securely to the handlebar and lets a caregiver guide the Rifton tricycle from the front. Ideal for beginners who can't steer themselves.

Front pulley: The front pulley maintains a level pedal position for riders whose extreme tone forces the front of the pedal downward.

Rear steering bar: Rear steering bar lets a caregiver guide the Rifton tricycle from behind, enabling the rider to see ahead. It is ideal for riders who can’t steer themselves.

Stationary stand: Stationary stand converts any Rifton Tricycle into a stationary trainer for pedaling practice or rainy–day activity.
