BIKO

Adaptive tricycle for people with special needs

Ormesa’s Biko is an adaptive tricycle for people with special needs. Available in 5 sizes and 4 colors, this product enhances the mobility of children and adults thanks to its great rehabilitative potential: its use allows users to experience movement in a safe, comfortable and engaging way by stimulating all areas of motor function, including manual oculus coordination, strength and balance. Furthermore, the use of Biko helps prevent secondary damages caused by chronic immobility conditions, contributing to the improvement of:

Motor coordination

Spatial perception

Self-esteem

Our community

Free riding: a day with Alessio

Ormesa’s Biko makes rehabilitation activities fun and rewarding, with a significant impact on the psychological users’ well-being. The possibility of moving in the open air, exploring new spaces, and actively participating in social life can significantly improve self-confidence and reduce the risk of isolation. We spent a day with Alessio and his family to closely observe these dynamics and have them tell us how Biko has become an essential ally both for therapeutic activities and recreational play.

Mobility without borders

Easy to close, open, and transport

Biko by Ormesa is a practical and functional tricycle: equipped with a compact folding frame, it can be easily stored in the trunk of any car and transported anywhere (the foldable frame is available for all sizes except the Mini). But the convenience doesn’t end there: the lowered design of the frame facilitates ascending and descending operations, ensuring excellent accessibility for the user.

Furthermore, thanks to the forward position of the central motion unit relative to the saddle, the user can maintain a certain degree of hip flexion, greatly facilitating pedaling.

Sizes and colors

Biko can be configured in different versions: during the ordering phase, you can choose between the version with free-wheel and the version with fixed pinion. Both of them, starting from the small size, can be provided with a differential for optimal stability. Moreover, this tricycle can be equipped with a three-speed gearbox with a differential, usable even when at a standstill. It allows braking with reverse pedaling, changing gears while stationary, and has a reverse mode.

Different configuration

Safe and adaptable

Versatility in motion

With its ergonomic and modular design, Biko stands out for its unparalleled adaptability: thanks to a wide range of optional components designed to meet the specific postural and containment needs of each tricyclist, this product ensures optimal comfort and maneuverability.

All the supports you need

To facilitate control by parents and caregivers, especially during the initial training phase, there is the push handle: easy to mount, practical, and comfortable even during prolonged use, it can be quickly and securely detached, simplifying the folding operations of the tricycle. Also available in the version with steering push, this tool allows the caregiver to precisely impose the direction of travel and accelerate or slow down the movement of the tricycle. Especially useful during the starting phase to provide initial momentum, the steering push handle can quickly adapt to the caregiver’s needs, being adjustable in height.
