Special Needs Trailer Bike

I get a little emotional talking about this two-wheel trailer bike designed for special needs riders – The Caboose Trailer Bike.

UPDATE: Sadly this product is no longer available.

It’s one of those products that most of us don’t need. When I read the emails from customers – like Robert’s sister – whose lives have been changed because someone they love can now experience the thrill of riding a bike, I’m humbled by what I take for granted.

The Caboose is a stable, two wheel trailer bike that attaches to a regular bicycle. It is designed especially for children and adults who are not otherwise able to ride a bicycle.

These days I’m especially emotional about the bikes because supply is running out and we don’t know when — or even if — they will come back in stock.

Our store has been the exclusive retailer for these special needs trailer bikes for the last few years. We’ve seen hundreds of lives changed because of the bikes, but the manufacturer is running out of stock and we’re not sure when they’ll make more.

Caboose Trailer Bike

The Caboose lets kids and adults who have special needs finally experience the joy of riding a bike. We’ve heard from customers who have purchased the bike for family members who cannot ride a typical bicycle because of Down syndrome, Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Blindness or a host of other reasons.

The message is clear – The Caboose Trailer Bike changes lives.

Caboose Trailer BikeThe Caboose bike comes in two sizes: one for 5 to 10 year old children and another that fits children over 10 years old up to adults aged 95 or older. (The bike is perfect for elderly riders.)

These bikes are unique in many ways – especially in their low price. Most other special needs adapted bicycles are hugely expensive and out of most families’ budgets.

    I’m interested in the caboose trailer bike for my adult daughter who has special needs. When will this become available again. Or, can you give me another contact to try?
    Thanks

      Hi Wendi. I’m so sorry, but I don’t think it is available anywhere anymore, which is incredibly disappointing because it serves such an important need.

    We bought one of these for our Autistic son several years ago. but the neck got ran over and bent. Does anyone know where I can order parts for this? http://www.pedalcarsandretro.com is a “parked” website.

    And yes, I have to agree that until his bike was broken, he would constantly ask to go for a ride…even in the dead of winter!

    I will check back here in a few days, since this is an old forum I don’t really expect a reply, but I’m willing to try…

    Hello, I found your post on the Caboose Trailer Bike. The link in the article no longer works. I need to find the company that makes/sells this bike. Do you have any information on their current whereabouts? – thank you

    Entertainment takes us to a different world and feeds our need for fantasy and
    an escape from real life . It is especially right for entertainment which is more public or offered by the media and entertainment provided byy movies , theater , music
    , and all forms of imaginative art.
