         What makes our tricycles different from others?
         QQ They have a simple, traditional design but with all the customised support you need - from one of the
            UK’s leading designers of adaptive technology for children.

         QQ Clinically focused frame geometry™ - We put an emphasis on posture and child development. Symmetry
            control - Midline control and better alignment of legs and feet.

         QQ 5 year frame and fork warranty. FREE first anniversary trike health check and refit.*

         QQ Heavier, more stable frame set with low threshold for easy access. Independent rear drive and coaster
            wheels make cornering safer.

         QQ Meaningful pedalling resistance - to promote physical development and a longer attention span.

         QQ NEW! Quest 88 Carer Control System: 1. Intuitive and reliable rear steer option for parents and carers.
            2. Pedalling and Steering opt-out for tired legs and hands. 3. Switch Hub Option - select fixed or free
            wheel pedalling. 4. Steering Limiter - to prevent sharp turns.

    Gripmits are a positive and comfortable way of maintaining
    grip. They come in a range of sizes and are designed for
    those who:

    1.   Tonally, have limited gripping ability.
    2.   Have limited fine motor control.
    3.   Have ‘startle’ reflexes and can spontaneously release
         the grips.

                                                                                                                                                  It’s
