DCP12 Adaptive Tricycle
Overview
The DCP12 is where a lot of our riders first feel the wind. Sized for kids from about 4 to 8 years old with a 13" to 23" inseam, it pairs a low, stable frame with 12" smooth solid tires that never go flat.
Start with the Low-Back seat and build from there: a High-Back, laterals, harnesses, head support or an adjustable tilt fork can all be added as your rider's needs change. Hoop handlebars adjust independently on telescopic posts, and steering can be locked so a parent or therapist takes over with the Rear Steering Handle, or unlocked so the rider steers.
Quick-release adjusters make growth days easy, the 29" frame fits through standard doorways, and the bike ships with a safety flag, reflectors, a bell or squeaky horn and a multi-tool. Pick from four standard colors or upgrade to one of our custom finishes.

Every build includes
- Built to the rider. Every build starts from the rider's measurements: inseam, weight, age and how they move. We build the frame and supports to those numbers, not to a stock size.
- Grows with the rider. Quick-release adjusters and telescopic posts let the seat, handlebars and supports move as the rider grows, without tools and without a new frame.
- Therapist-friendly evaluation. Our evaluation forms follow the way therapists assess a rider: trunk and head control, pedalling ability, transfers. Your therapist or dealer can fill one in with you.
- Covered for the long run. Adaptive bikes carry 1 year on parts and accessories from the ship date, plus a 10-year pro-rated frame warranty for the original owner. The Chill-Out Chair and accessories carry their own terms, listed on the Warranty & returns page.
- Handmade in Winnipeg, shipped worldwide. Every product is built to order in Sunnyside, Manitoba, and shipped to riders across North America, Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom and beyond.
Frequently asked questions
How do I measure inseam?
Have the rider stand in the shoes they ride in, back against a wall. Place a book spine-up between the legs, snug to the crotch, and measure from the top of the book to the floor. If the rider cannot stand, measure seated with the knee at a right angle and tell us you did.
Can the bike grow with the rider?
Yes, within its frame. Choose the frame where today's inseam sits in the lower half of its range; quick-release adjusters and telescopic posts take up the rest.
Why do I not see a price?
Prices show after a dealer signs in. Families and therapists request a quote: tell us about the rider and we send a quote for the exact build, or pass it to your local dealer.
How can we pay for it?
Insurance and government funding, local charities, financing, crowdfunding and our Dream Bike Program. The Funding page explains each route.
How long does a custom build take?
Every product is built to order in Winnipeg. Your quote states the build and delivery time for the options you choose; custom colors and seating can add time.
Can I return a product?
Within 30 days, unused and in original condition, with a return authorization number. A 25% restocking fee and freight both ways apply, and custom builds are final sale. See Warranty & returns.
