Freedom Concepts AS2000 - Adult Upright Adaptive Tricycle

The Freedom Concepts AS2000 is the company's flagship upright adult adaptive tricycle — engineered for teens and adults aged 14 and up who want the experience of a "real" bike with the stability, adjustability, and supportive engineering of true adaptive equipment. With a 22"–31" inseam range, a lower step-over height for easier mounting, an optional narrow-frame upgrade for doorway clearance, and a weight capacity up to 300 lb with heavy-duty wheels, the AS2000 is built to fit a wide range of riders — and to keep fitting them for years.

Why It Matters

For adult and older teen riders with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke history, muscular dystrophy, autism, Down syndrome, or other conditions that make a standard two-wheel bike unsafe, the AS2000 closes a gap that off-the-shelf cycling never quite fills. It looks and rides much like a conventional adult bike — handlebars, frame, pedals where you'd expect them — but with three-wheel stability, locked or unlocked steering, supportive seating, an optional electric assist, and an optional caregiver-controlled Speed Dampener. That blend matters because dignity and fit aren't separate considerations for adult riders; they're the same consideration. The AS2000 was designed to honor both.

Key Features & Benefits

• Lower step-over height — makes mounting and dismounting noticeably easier for riders with limited hip mobility or balance

• Independently adjustable hoop handlebars with telescopic posts for personalized reach and comfort

Why We Like It

What makes the AS2000 the right pick for so many adult adaptive riders is that it isn't trying to look or feel like medical equipment. It's a bike. It rides like a bike. It's parked next to other bikes. And the adaptations — the locked steering, the supportive seat, the optional speed control, the bell that comes standard — disappear into the design so the rider can just ride. For teens transitioning out of the kid-sized Discovery Series and for adults entering or returning to cycling, that "regular bike" feel matters a lot.

We also like how much of the AS2000 is built around long-term ownership. The 22"–31" inseam range, the quick-release adjustments, the modular seating system, the heavy-duty wheel upgrade for riders up to 300 lb, the electric-assist option for longer rides as endurance evolves — every one of these means the bike that's right today is still the bike that's right in five years. For families and individuals navigating insurance funding, dealer waitlists, and the real expense of adaptive equipment, that longevity is the quiet feature that matters most.

Who It's For

• Teens and adults aged 14 and up with an inseam between 22" and 31"
• Riders with cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, stroke history, muscular dystrophy, autism, Down syndrome, or other conditions that affect balance, coordination, or motor planning
• Riders who can transfer to an upright frame independently or with minimal assistance (riders needing wheelchair-height transfers may be better suited to the semi-recumbent ASR2011)
• Adult riders returning to cycling after injury, stroke, or progressive condition changes
• Caregivers who want optional Speed Dampener or Rear Steer™ control on shared rides
• Therapists prescribing cycling for reciprocal leg motion, lower-body strengthening, cardiovascular conditioning, or community participation
• Adaptive recreation programs, day programs, group homes, and rehabilitation centers serving adult riders

Choosing Between AS2000 and Related Models

The AS2000 fits a 22"–31" inseam and is best for riders who can mount an upright frame. For taller or heavier adult riders, the AS2600 extends the inseam range to 26"–36" and starts at 300 lb capacity. For riders who need wheelchair-height seating and a more reclined position, the semi-recumbent ASR2011 (Odyssey Series) is purpose-built for easier lateral transfers. The Freedom Concepts evaluation process helps families and clinicians choose the right model for the rider's specific needs.

Customization & Accessories

The AS2000 is highly configurable. Popular upgrades include the trademarked Rear Steer™ Handlebar (lets a caregiver steer or brake from behind), the 4-pt butterfly Chest Harness for upright positioning, the On/Off Pin Reciprocator (switchable direct-drive / freewheel pedaling), the Adjustable Tilt Fork, electric assist, the Speed Dampener, the narrow-frame option, heavy-duty wheels, and a wide range of seating, footplate, and cosmetic upgrades. Freedom Concepts' team works directly with riders, families, therapists, and dealers to build each bike around the specific user.
