Getting a Tryke
Previously, Vermont AMBUCS would host an annual bike fitting event, where participants would come and try out different trykes to see which would suit their needs. Because of COVID, we have shifted to a more individualized approach. Below, you will find the process for getting a bike, and the paperwork required.
The Application Process (new riders)
- Please fill out the Request Form, Waiver Form, and Assessment Form.
- If you are fundraising for your bike, please locate a photo that you would like to use in your campaign.
- Please email the fully completed form and photo to vtambucs@gmail.com.
- A representative from VT AMBUCS will contact you. Using your form, we will coordinate a trial bike (if necessary), help you fill out an order form for the correct tryke and accessories, and set up your fundraising page.
- Once the correct tryke has been selected, we will order the tryke and help you fundraise for it.
- Once the tryke arrives, a representative will build and deliver your tryke, and make sure it fits.
- You then enjoy the fun and freedom of riding a bike!
The Application Process (returning riders)
- If you have a bike and just need a larger size, please contact us.
- Please email vtambucs.org with:
- Your name
- The name (or at the very least, the initials) of the rider
- The town you're located in
- If you have a bike to return
- Your name
