Puncture proof wheels
Wheels are white plastic with a black tire.
Puncture proof BMX-type wheels. A low gear ratio makes pedaling easier for beginners, and slows down speeders.
Open Access
Easy transfers are made possible because the trunk support swings away and the handlebar rotates up or down.
Open access combined with a low transfer step makes it easy to get on and off Rifton adaptive trikes.
Parking Brake
The parking brake is solid silver metal
The easily engaged parking brake grips both back wheels, and keeps the Rifton adaptive trike firmly in place.
Tote Box
Tote box on the back of the trike is gray plastic
There's a tote box at the back of your trike for storage or for transporting items.
Pedals
Sandals are black plastic with black hook & loop fabric straps
