Amtrykes
Lubbock Caprock AMBUCS is dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities by fostering mobility and independence through the transformative AmTryke program. As part of the national AMBUCS mission, we provide specially designed therapeutic tricycles to a diverse range of recipients, including young children with disabilities, adults recovering from severe injuries, wounded veterans, and others from varied backgrounds.
First developed in Texas in 1994, the AmTryke has evolved with numerous models and features, including a unique hand-crank system that allows propulsion using the upper body, alongside traditional pedal options for the lower body. Each year, Lubbock Caprock AMBUCS proudly donates over 30 AmTrykes to those in need. If you or someone you know could benefit from an AmTryke, please explore the information at the bottom of this page to learn more about how we can help.

All forms are contained in the packet and are linked above. Once complete, please e-mail completed forms to trykes@caprockambucs.com or mail copy to P.O. Box 93871, Lubbock, TX 79423.

Please be patient as the process takes some time. Club members have full-time jobs and volunteer their nights and weekends to help others. There is always room for new members to help.
