Jackson

Variety kid, Jackson, loves to spend time with his family, but due to developmental delays, he has been limited in the number of activities he can do safely, including riding a bike. Although Jackson continues to work hard and make progress, he will likely be unable to ride independently for several more years. With this in mind, Variety was proud to provide Jackson with a cargo e-bike.

This specialized bike keeps Jackson safe and comfortable as he grows, while also easing the physical strain on his parents, allowing them to continue to enjoy bike rides together without risk of injury for years to come. 

Regular rides are not only a fun experience for Jackson and his family, they also provide important benefits to Jackson's development. The combination of sensory experiences, like feeling the wind in his hair and taking in scenery, helps improve his sensory processing and regulation.

"Jackson absolutely loves the bike! We went for several rides back-to-back. We told him we were all done and he got out, and he rode his bike a bit. He then went back into the garage and said 'bike ride' and pointed to the new bike, so of course we went again!" - Jackson's Mom
