the best of both worlds

Why limit your rider to an ineffective or unnecessary temporary solution? And why place them on an adapted bike before you even know if they will be able to ride independently? With FATWHEELS adaptive training wheels, you don't have to make that choice. Use our kits as either a training tool, a permanent adaptive solution or both!

And what happens when your rider grows? Do you have to buy another adaptive bike? Yikes! That can get expensive.

With FATWHEELS, simply keep the wheels that you already have and purchase a larger set of brackets when your rider moves up to a bigger bike.

Best of all, if your rider begins to ride independently, simply remove the FATWHEELS - it really is that simple.

We offer an affordable "all-in-one" solution that gives you and your rider the flexibility and safety needed for both today and tomorrow.
