Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

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.
