DCP16 Adaptive Tricycle
Overview
The DCP16 is the bike families ask us about most, and it is easy to see why. It fits riders from about 7 to 14 years old with a 19" to 28" inseam and carries up to 150 lbs, so it keeps up through the growing years.
The Child Low-Back seat is the starting point. Add a High-Back, trunk laterals, a chest harness, head support or the adjustable tilt fork when your rider needs more support, and choose mountain pedals, neoprene footplates or molded ABS footplates to match how they pedal. Direct drive is standard; freewheel and the On/Off Pin Reciprocator are there for riders who want to coast.
Steering locks or unlocks with the multi-tool in the box, the Rear Steering Handle lets a caregiver guide and brake from behind, and the 29" frame still rolls through a standard doorway. Four standard colors, eight upgrade finishes, and every one built to your rider's measurements.

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.
