Theraplay Ltd Theraplay's philosophy is to provide cycles which enable riders of all abilities to have the opportu

Since our first hand propelled tricycle was conceived and produced in 1970 for a local charity, Theraplay has sought to design and manufacture stylish cycles which are appealing to children and adults of all ages. By 1974, the manufacture of cycles had over-taken the demand for precision components being manufactured so it was decided to re-name the company TRIAID Ltd (Tricycle Aids to Mobility), to reflect the company's growing involvement in the healthcare industry. As the company entered a new decade, new products were designed in response to requests from therapists and families. The key development became our range of foot propelled tricycles with the introduction of the Terrier and TMX models in 1983, the IMP model in 1985, The Terrier DUO in 1987 and the Tracker in 1988. These products have gone on to become the most popular range of tricycles for children and teenagers with special needs in the U.K., with over 30,000 cycles now having been supplied. In 1986 a new generation joined the company when Graeme Macdonald joined the company after graduating from university and after spells working with large organisations and local government authorities. He established a new division called Theraplay which was created to supply play and education equipment into nursery schools and special schools. This name and brand became widely recognised and popular so a decision was taken to change the company's name to Theraplay Ltd to reflect the company's wider product portfolio. In 1989 Iain Macdonald joined the company this coincided with the establishment of Theraplay's own US office. Located in the State of Maryland this company distributes Theraplay products throughout North America, this office retains the TRIAID brand name. Since the early 1990's, Theraplay has worked with a number of organisations to manufacture products on their behalf, sometimes selling them as well, these have included walking devices, commode chairs and various types of special cycles. The company has also been involved with the distribution of unique seating products from North America and Europe. The experience gained from working closely with other innovative manufacturers has enabled Theraplay to apply new approaches to our own design to provide greater levels of comfort and improved sitting posture for riders. As Theraplay continues to grow and develop as an organisation, we are always looking for ways to improve our products and services we provide, we are always interested to receive feed-back as this is the fuel for our future developments.

Theraplay was approached last year by the V&A Museum in London and asked about the history of the Tri-Lo handcycles as they were planning an exhibition of novel and creative methods of transportation.

The museum was planning an exhibit based around human powered vehicles and as the Tri-Lo Handcycle was the very first tricycle designed specifically for children where the use of their lower limbs is restricted it fitted perfectly with the criteria.

We were happy to become involved and donated a model to use for educational purposes where children can learn about mobility devices in a fun environment!

Zay Zay and her family were so very excited to get her Theraplay Ltd trike last month. She has waited patiently for this special delivery.

There were so many smiles and is super happy to be able to ride along with her sister.
