Parents of children with disabilities, What kind of bike does your child ride?

My son who is 9 cannot ride a two wheeler. He is afraid of it even with training wheels and at this point, he is embarrassed to try.

I was looking online at getting his 4 yr old a bike and my 9 yr old said to me I wish I was small so I could ride a bike and it broke my heart.

He is mildly autistic, ADD, has cognitive impairments, dyspraxia (coordination and balance issues) and proprioceptive sensory issues too.

Can anyone recommend a recumbent bike that does not look like an oversized tricycle, is reasonably priced, works well for these kids?

I was liking the triton pro, it costs 350 dollars. It's a lot of money to us. If it works as well as it seems to in the videos I have no doubt its a good investment. Also, we have another son the 4 yr old who has mild CP and potentially may never ride a 2 wheeler either.

Does anyone own one? Does it really accommodate kids 4 ft.-6'3" and 250lbs?

Can other kids with similar issues ride a 2 wheeler? When did they begin?
