The Mantis Frame Runner by Freedom Concepts is an adaptive mobility device engineered to enable users with limited mobility to participate in running and outdoor activities. Built on a stable three-wheel platform, the Mantis allows riders to propel themselves using their legs while supported by a chest pad and handlebar system for balance and control.

Its lightweight frame and smooth-rolling tires deliver a responsive ride across a variety of outdoor surfaces, from sidewalks to tracks and paved trails. The Mantis is highly adjustable, allowing caregivers and clinicians to fine-tune fit and positioning to meet the unique needs of each rider. Available in multiple sizes—including Small and Medium—it accommodates a wide range of users as they grow or progress in mobility.

By encouraging upright positioning and active movement, the Mantis Frame Runner supports physical development, cardiovascular health, and participation in recreational activities.

What Makes This Different

What sets the Mantis Frame Runner apart is its focus on active mobility and inclusive recreation. Unlike traditional gait trainers, the Mantis is designed specifically for forward motion at higher speeds, allowing users to experience the sensation of running in a safe, supported way.

The three-wheel design provides excellent stability while maintaining maneuverability, helping riders feel confident as they gain speed and independence. Adjustable components—including handlebar height, chest support, and frame geometry—ensure a customized fit for optimal comfort and performance.

The rugged construction is built to withstand outdoor use, while its streamlined design keeps the ride smooth and efficient. This thoughtful combination of durability, adjustability, and performance helps set the Mantis apart in the adaptive recreation category.

Why We Like It

What we like most about the Mantis Frame Runner is how it empowers riders to be active and engaged. It opens the door to participation in running events, school activities, and family outings—experiences that might otherwise feel out of reach.

The intuitive design makes it easy to use, while the adjustable fit ensures that it can evolve with the rider’s needs. The balance of support and freedom encourages natural movement, helping users build strength, confidence, and independence over time.

What to Expect When Ordering

The Mantis Frame Runner is a custom-configured product designed to meet the specific needs of each rider. It typically arrives via curbside delivery and may require some assembly and adjustment upon arrival.

Because of its customizable nature, you’ll select sizing (Small or Medium) and available positioning or support options during the ordering process. For families or caregivers who prefer assistance, White Glove Delivery may be available, offering in-home setup and adjustment by trained technicians.

As with other custom adaptive equipment, orders are built to specification and are generally non-returnable once production has begun.
