electric trike banned from national parks sun ez3 usx electric recumbent trike delta trike

[Grimdopple]

WHAT WAS HE ACCURSED OF USING!

[edwardreid]

Trikes have a problem with rear wheels. My trikes never have this kind of problem. I use v rims and 36 spoke wheels. Also,a lean to steer trike seems better for uneven surfaces.with the rider lower and safer. Motor mounted as front hub and batteries behind seat. I've been building recumbents for many years. Sun cycles needs a better designer...

[edwardreid]

Usual :pay the pig thugs: bit to do something that most people take for granted and is free to them. Also, those back rims need truing, thats all...

[zestydude87]

@edwardreid lol i was wondering how many would catch that with his back wheels. He's gonna go thru tires constantly...

[XRayCam]

Yep...he needs to get some new wheels on the back of that thing before they bust out from under him.

[esbeesue]

hope this guy wins...cripes, if schools can be forced to allow boys who want to wear dresses to the prom and be elected queen of the prom, then those with real problems should be able to have fun too.!!!!

and what about the older folks who need a little assist to be able to enjoy biking on park paths.

[senextx]

Someone needs to check on those rear wheels...sure looked wobbly to me.

Cool stuff.

[SittingMooseShaman]

Pigs and bureaucrats

who CONSTANTLY violate

FREE citizens' Civil Rights!

[dieselducy]

Clearly a violation of the ADA act

[skoghund]

All they need to do is change the law to say "internal combustion motors" instead of "motors" and these will be allowed. They don't want people tearing things up with ATVs and dirt bikes, electric bicycles aren't going to do anything more than standard bikes.

[Acavet1000]

Cool ride!

They wouldn't think of banning a wheelchair or a mobility scooter. Just because the guy wants to ride around on something that doesn't make him stand out as handicapped is no reason to try and stop him.

[RealityGameWorld]

if they bann him why not bann wheelchairs

as well, its stupid what they done to him by that!

[truemirror]

I need one of these, I am disabled and used to hike the forests for hours or days before, ride bike, ski etc, but now I can only drive and sit and look at the woods from a distance or take short walks, and can't ride a regular bike any more, I don't know anyone that would take the time to build such a thing for me, where can I get one with a head rest and not too heavy?

[garagecrap]

Get disabled permit and you'll be right.

[griftereck]

in this country you get a dissability sticker for your car window. Should do some thing like that there.

[dontsendmeanybs]

Good job, Don, keep fighting!

I would like to give you an important recommendation: that's a COOL vehicle you've got there! Mistakes happen randomly, Don, & your motorbike can CRASH TOO! You need to be wearing a helmet, protecting your head!

Take My Advice, Don, you'll live safer & longer.

[denswin]

Helmets are a freedom of choice. Government has no right to tell us what to wear. Leave our personal liberties alone. RIGHT TO CHOOSE!

[EMHO3]

@denswin You are an idiot! There are laws requiring seat belt use and the use of child booster seats in cars...

[denswin]

EMHO3 - Watch who you are calling an idiot mushroom head. Those things are common sense and the government has no right to make criminals out of someone who chooses not to do so. Smart people do, but there are situations where you don't have to do so. You are a commie liberal democrat who wants to return to a Hitler or Moa type system of total government rule.

[PavePaws]

@denswin

HA HA HA mushroom head

Takes me back to recess and watching the girls on the parallel bars wearing skirts!

[LibertaerUeberAlles]

@denswin

Actually though, the "Hitler" system was based on personal responsibility and honor; not nanny statism -- e.g., the Reich brought back dueling, which (as far as I recall from my readings) was outlawed during the Weimar Republic. Here's a nice online article:

"How Hitler Consolidated Power in Germany"

It doesn't mention dueling, per se, but gives you an idea of life in the Reich. It might explain why true patriots like Ford, Kennedy and Lindbergh favored good relations w/ Germany.

Great job getting the permit!

I'm proud of you :-)

[mrsfelixcastro]

Great story, I am glad to see the National Park System gave him a permit! I raised a daughter that is deaf and has epilepsy. I hope they are also issuing a companion permit, as many people with challenges require assistance. In my daughters case it was sign language and first aid for seizures. For this gentleman and others may the small things you enjoy doing be possible!

[truemirror]

agree, I need assistant any where from 30%-80% of the time depending on the pain level, but if you don't have family member willing to take on the role, than your out of luck, I had one dog that made me lie down before spasms began, but she got old and died, now I'm hoping the one I have will learn it too, with limited funds, it's impossible for disabled to afford person or trained dog.
