| The data provided reflects the total number of participants who claimed modified tricycles over the 12-month period ending August 2025, broken down by primary disability type. |
- As funding can be used flexibly, data is not available until a payment is claimed.
The count is based on the payment transaction with status “Paid and Cleared”.
The definition of these items is “Bicycle-Tricycle and/or Carts adapted for specific functional needs (from Bicycle-Tricycle and/or Carts)”, which means the actual claimed item can be a bicycle or tricycle, or can be modified non-electric or modified electric tricycles.“
The assumption is that each participant can claim only one tricycle in the 12-month period.
