The standard Kitten is a fixed drive tricycle. In simple terms, this means that when the pedals rotate, the drive wheel rotates and vice versa. This creates added momentum that assists with pedalling, which is beneficial to children with low muscle tone and strength. Our Switchable Hub option allows your child to advance onto freewheel when they have the strength, or simply use the function to push your child when tired.
The Kitten can be fitted with a variety of accessories to support the body, head, and feet. These include hip and thoracic supports, footplates (sandals), ankle-foot orthoses, chest pad, steering solutions, various handlebar styles, and head supports.
The key datum points on Quest tricycles are critical and give the rider the ability to maintain a good posture and an efficient pedalling action. Quest tricycles can be separated into 3 parts for storage and transportation.
The maximum user weight for the Kitten is 25Kg. The Kitten tricycle in its basic form weighs 21Kg and 23Kg for the Rear Steer Version. Additional accessories will increase the weight of the tricycle.
*The free trike re-assessment and health check is a one-off event recommended before the 2nd anniversary of your purchase and after any surges of significant growth of your child.
The Kitten Tricycle is available in several colours, and can be accessorised with our fun range of wheel discs.
