Vermont AMBUCS, a Chapter of National AMBUCS

Successful Vermont AMBUCS Mini-Fitting at the Camel's Hump Middle School
on June 28th in Richmond, Vermont!

Due to the large number of riders on our 2025 Vermont AMBUCS Waiting List this year, we were able to provide another opportunity for new riders to be custom-fitted for an Amtryke! 4 Riders took home gently used Amtrykes, 3 new Paceline 16 models are on order for 3 more riders. For those still on our 2025 Waiting List we will be in contact with you about future fitting dates.

Thank You to the St. John's Club of Burlington Board of Directors and Club Manager Ken Ploof.
A donation of $4000 was made to Vermont AMBUCS for the purchase of 4 adapted AmTrykes.

The 2025 Vermont AMBUCS Tryke Fitting and Give Away Day was held on May 10th at the Waitsfield Elementary School.

A total of eleven riders were fitted- nine riders took home Amtrykes and two other riders will soon receive new Amtrykes that are being shipped from the factory and built by the Vermont AMBUCS Chapter! Twenty-one Vermont AMBUCS volunteers made this event possible- including occupational and physical therapists, bike mechanics and dedicated community members.

We thank all our volunteers for their time, talents and dedication to make this event a huge success!
We have 22 more riders on our Vermont wish list wanting to be fitted for bikes in 2025!
Please make a donation to help our Vermont AMBUCS Chapter cover the cost of the Amtrykes for these Riders!

Lots of Activities and Many New Riders in Vermont!

Vermont AMBUCS 2024 Tryke Fitting and Give Away Day- May 4, 2024

What a Fun Day! On May 4th VT AMBUCS had a very successful Tryke Fitting Day at the Waitsfield Elementary School in Waitsfield, Vermont. 12 riders were fitted for new or next-size-up AmTrykes; 7 riders were able to take Trykes home since we had gently used AmTrykes to distribute. 5 riders will be receiving their newly ordered AmTrykes over the next month or two. Members of our Vermont AMBUCS Board and other volunteers made up 3 Fitting Teams, and we were able to work with 3 riders per hour between 9am and 1pm. A BIG THANK YOU goes out to all of our VT AMBUCS Volunteers, and especially to the Vermont Scouts and their Leaders from BSA Troop 709 and BSA Troop 170.

Vermont AMBUCS is celebrating our 18th year!

Vermont AMBUCS is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2007 as a chapter of AMBUCS.org The mission of AMBUCS is to create mobility and independence. This is achieved through the therapeutic bicycle program, which matches individuals with AmTrykes (adapted bikes).

The AmTryke Therapeutic Tricycle Program is about abilities, not disabilities.

Our goal is to provide access to all the classic benefits of riding a bike: mobility, strength, exercise, coordination, interaction with family and friends, and just pure fun!
