wheelchair transfer to Can Am Spyder

[curtmastor]

i know it may not be pertinant to the video but how common are spinal cord injuries like yours in motorcycling as compared to extreme sports like motocross, skiing, bmx, etc?

[18huidos]

wow

i have spine bifida.. and i really want a bike...

i think the spider is the only option i have !!!! thats great

[trailerrailer]

@18huidos do it up, get the isci handbrake on a SE-5 and ride. spyderlovers owners website has a bunch of info and used spyders from all over, best spyder site out there.

[AshishJeep]

from a fellow rider to another...YOU ARE A F***ING BEAST! Keep riding man

[mikesystemsplanet]

This made me cry. I have a T4 car injury from 1983.

Three wheeler....OMG!! Love this. Kick ass.

Can't wait to get one of these, plus an exoskeleten, and disco lessons..... ;)

you're inspirational.

we live stronger.

[aanglero]

If I purchase one can you help me get it tricked up like yours? As far as where to go to get it tricked out and all the info. would appreciate a reply. I'm a serious rider and miss it its been 12yrs. since I last rode. I have a Conversion Van and its BORING!.

Thanks and keep living life my dude

[aanglero]

Motorcycle accident here from 1999 same level as you. I need to be riding. I seen this, man am i ready to go.

[trailerrailer]

@aanglero do it, got to spyderlovers//com and get a used spyder se-5 put a isci handbrake and floorboards, a wheelchair bracket and with about 16k total invested you can have one hell of a daily handicrapped driver.

[aanglero]

@trailerrailer .....ISCI handbrake??? what's that and where can I get it from? as well as the floor boards and the wheelchiar bracket..If you can get me the info for that the rest will be easy......I appreciate your help....thanks again

[ashergtrrn]

Damn, Im impressed. Thats some sick shit, and really is amazing that it lets you get a second chance at "freedom." Youre ballsy bro, keep it up.

[trailerrailer]

@ashergtrrn thanks bud. Anyone can do it, just adapt it.

[rmz450826]

Its a Ti-Lite Areo Z

[rmz450826]

ok are they on the market?

[trailerrailer]

@rmz450826 I have made a few, what kind of wheelchair do you have?

[rmz450826]

ok thanks. What about the rack that holds the chair?

[trailerrailer]

@rmz450826 I have guys up here that make them.

[rmz450826]

Who did you break and foot plate mods?

[trailerrailer]

@rmz450826 isci did them out of AL, call them, their stuff could be shot into space. Billy and the guys are legit.

[BigCM06]

I'm glad that Can Am's are allowing people to ride who otherwise wouldn't be able to.

but if I see an able-bodied person riding one out of choice, I can't help but laugh. it's like the scared wife's version of a real motorcycle.

[ghostriderhd01]

Hey that's awesome I'm building a trike right now and i'm wondering how you keep your feet on the floorboards ?

[steelmesh]

Thought can-ams were stupid, but now I see they actually have a decent market to help out some people who aren't as privileged as most to be able to ride on 2-wheels.

[trailerrailer]

@steelmesh I do get this response from sportbike riders, which I used to be. they do make the best trike on the market, it is great? No but its the best bang for buck. I ride year round and can do double the posted.

[HoodRow37]

Very inspirational. Who says life stops once you lose the ability to walk? Keep doing what you do buddy and enjoy life.

[cstalley]

Hell yeah. Awesome vid.

[MrHasie]

respect.

[ashtonellis]

that's the best idea in town. The guy doesn't have to worry about becoming a cripple if he gets hit by a car. Cool......

[trailerrailer]

@ashtonellis you are still crippled if you get in a car, I guess I could sit around all day, smoke cigs and collect unempoylment too. Do your parents still have a spare room?

[theclarksters]

@ashtonellis - what a maroon.

[rancorx]

if i did go for something other than a car it would be a bike :l

[trailerrailer]

@rancorx I HAD a bike with landing gear on my zx12, it is for sale if you want it. NO place to put a wheelchair or reverse, can not use it for a daily driver. I sidecar is just the suck for handling. Prove me wrong.

[sowseng]

wow, you throw your wheelchair this way, I feel heartache for you.

[trailerrailer]

@sowseng why is that?

[sowseng]

@trailerrailer

it will scratch your wheelchair, or spoil it, haahha.

[trailerrailer]

@sowseng its to make it look mean, the last thing I want is a nice looking wheelchair, I mean if I could get away with it I would have no wheelchair at all.

[now33]

any way to make room for a chick?

[trailerrailer]

@now33 take the wheelchair bracket off, its only 4 bolts. takes me about 6 minutes.

[irinsidebob]

Wounder if you can help me out, have to say I love the video, im a T4/T5 para looking into seting up a spyder and would love to know some contacks where to get the running boards, rack and so on. Thanks for all your info. Robert Wilson

[Rozignal]

[trailerrailer]
