A truly great idea!

Lukas Foundation is a Spanish non-profit organization that was founded in 2009 with the aim of improving the quality of life of people with severe multiple disabilities and their families.

 Our adapted bicycles are an adapted leisure and sport resource that is available to any person or entity that wants to try it. We would love to encourage you to do so.

 If you are a mother, father, guardian or interested entity and you are reading this, we encourage you to try out our adapted bikes and see how they feel and run on the street. We are fairly certain you will not be able to bike without feeling a smile cross your face from ear to ear.

Adapted bikes really are a unique experience!

In 2021 alone, 332 people enjoyed this free-rolling fun on the streets.

CHOOSE THE MODEL THAT BEST SUITS YOUR NEED AND ROLL!

Duet

The “Duet” (wheelchair and bicycle “all in one”) is a unique combination that combines the robustness of a bicycle with the stability and comfort of a wheelchair.

Fun2Go

The Fun2Go is a fantastic two-person trike-like tandem where the driver steers and both can pedal and exercise.

Midi

The Midi is a non-electric tricycle with a modern design suitable for children and adults, which can be steered from the rear for added safety.

Co-Pilot

The Co-Pilot is a tandem with double handlebars that is very useful for walking with a person with functional diversity.

Help us to incorporate new models

Lukas Foundation wants to diversify its adapted leisure proposal by incorporating new bike models to cover any functional diversity.

We are looking to incorporate new models and would be grateful for any help you could offer us.

You can help us by proposing new models, testing them or through donations for new acquisitions.

 We would be honoured if you would join us and be part of our new and expanding fleet of bicycles.
