Can anyone recommend a bike for a 9 yr old who has disabilities? I am looking for a recumbent bike and like the look of the triton pro. Does anyone have one? Is it easy to maneuver? Where to get it for under 350 dollars?

My son is 9 and cannot ride a two wheeler without training wheels. At this point he is embarrassed to try. He told me that he wished he was small so he could ride a bike and it broke my heart. I want one that does not look like an oversized tricycle or especially made for disabilities. He has mild autism, cognitive impairments, ADD, and coordination and balance issues

Do you know of any child that can with these issues ride a 2 wheeler? or think he will ever ride a 2 wheeler?
WE sign up for losethetrainingwheels.com bike training camp every year. Twice, it was full because the county its in gets first dibs and there is no room. Last year due to budget cuts they didn't even come to our state.
 
Has your son had any training to ride a bike? Our local Arc has a program that trains kids very successfully to ride 2 wheelers. My son could never ride a trike (or a recumbant bike) because he had a hard time pushing forward instead of down on the pedals. We had tried for a couple of years to learn to ride and when he got a properly fitted bike - he learned in a matter of a few lessons.
