My daughter has spina bifida. After looking at adaptive bikes/trikes that cost multiple times what the Mobito costs, I stumbled across this product. Now my little girl can ride around on her own and have a sense of independence! She feels secure because the trike is low to the ground. She also thinks the trike looks cool, which helps a lot.
I made two changes:
1) I installed pedals with foot cups from an adaptive trike. This allows her feet to be securely strapped in so that she can pedal for all she is worth and she does!
2) I used a "hook and loop" (Velcro) strap to create a parking brake so that she can get on and off without the trike rolling around.
She has someone help her get her feet strapped in and then she is ready to go!

By the way, I tried to go back in and change the stars I gave this product to a one star (one for the nice looks of the trike), but I couldn't change it . . . . so make that a one star not 3. Now we know why this trike only came with a one month guarantee (this is what we were told after calling the company for help). We bought this trike in Oct. for a Christmas present, for our 5 yr. old special needs child. We gave it to him at christmas and after riding on it a couple times it broke (he is a small, lightweight child). A mechanism inside the area on the wheel where the pedal attaches to the wheel (my husband says is the bearings) is stripped or something and the pedals won't catch to make the bike go. It just turns and doesn't catch to pedal the bike. My husband has been in contact with the owner of the company who makes the bikes and was told that it only had a one month guarantee. So we are out of luck and paid almost $300 for a bike that is now no good. It will cost us almost as much as the bike to replace the whole front wheel assembly since this is what the pedal attaches to in order to power the bike. Some people have said that they had a good experience with the customer service. Well, our experience was bad and I wouldn't recommend anyone buy this bike or any of their other bikes either for that matter. Do so at your own risk. It would be a fun little trike if we could get it to work without spending another fortune to do so. It is virtually a brand new trike and it is sitting in the garage unused.

I have seldom ,if ever, written a review of something I have purchased online. But I thought this may help someone in the same situation as my family.
My son has CP, among other things. He is now 6. We have tried different tricycle combinations and, this year, been fitted for an adaptive special needs bike through the therapy center he attends. He seemed thrilled at the fact of being strapped in the adaptive trike and being somewhat mobile. After the instructional session, taking pics and measurements, we received our quote...$4869! Needless to say I was quite shocked and disappointed since we, as any parent would, wanted our child to be able to enjoy the simple pleasure of riding a bike. Not to mention it is a developmental tool and would allow him to play with other children. So we set about doing whatever we could to provide him with this adaptive trike.
After some thought, disappointment turned to something else. It seemed that the company was exploiting the fact that families who had already endured great difficulties and were desperate to do anything that may assist their child and at great expense/profit. I decided to look for an alternative.
Within 15 minutes I had found this mobito. It seemed to address, perhaps not by design, the very issues my son faced.
I purchased the bike and fashioned adaptive pedals which are, in my opinion, vastly more improved over the $300 "special needs" options I have found listed. Santa delivered the bike Christmas morning. My son was thrilled and upon being seated in it began to pedal forward and steer the bike ON HIS VERY FIRST ATTEMPT. After becoming more comfortable with it, he is moving around the culdesac and street we live on quite easily. He has yet to master it, but I was quite astonished how quickly he was able to use the bike.
Also, the design is cool and different enough that other children find it intriguing which lifts some of the stigma so often encountered by a child with special needs.
He has more difficulty on anything other than asphalt at the moment, but I think that will be overcome eventually. I read where some of the reviews expressed disappointment with the tools provided. Personally I found them to be adequate...maybe just a bit better than you would expect to get with any bike. But I used my own, so it was not an issue for me.
Sorry for the length of this review. As stated from the beginning, I hope it will help someone in the same position as my family and open a door for another child.

My sons love the mobito. It is even more of a hit than I expected. The quality is great, the directions for assembly were easy to follow and it made a fabulous Christmas present.
