The speed dampener is a safety tool to help users and their caregivers create a constant rolling resistance. It increases the pedaling effort for the user, allowing the caregiver to have increased control over the maximum speed of the bike. This allows the caregiver to supervise the user, while keeping the bike set to a safer pace. It’s an easy-to-use feature and does not require any tools to operate. 

• Enhances safety during outdoor riding or unfamiliar environments where speed control is crucial  
• Provides a consistent, controlled environment for therapeutic riding, especially for users building coordination or endurance
• Supports therapeutic goals such as building endurance, increasing reciprocal limb movement, and improving motor control through gentle resistance
• Improves safety on declines or high-momentum surfaces by preventing sudden acceleration 
• Can reduce anxiety for new users by giving them predictable speed management
