Feeling normal again....how true ! Just bought my bike this Nov. I'm not a para or quad but my spine was messed to the point I could not ride. Your video is an inspiration to anybody with a disability.

@krisreckner In 1999 I had a back injury that landed me in a wheelchair for 2 years and I had to sell my bike.

In 2008 I herniated 3 discs in my back and am again in a wheelchair learning to walk (no feeling or motor skills from my knees down)

LIke I said, If all you're doing is taking the bike for a ride...This would work great.

But I used my bike for commuting, grocery shopping, visiting friends, just going places.

Personally I'm looking into leaning reverse trikes.

@doogiediamond It really goes to show how narrow minded some people are. You think that for someone condemned to live life in a wheelchair, that because it cant get groceries or function as a work vehicle, that it is basically USELESS to them. How about to experience life free of a chair for a couple hours? To do something that makes us feel 'normal' for a little while? And btw, if you do ever ride a motorcycle, let me know how often you get groceries with it.

[doogiediamond]

@krisreckner The reason I find it useless is just my opinion.

If you are just going for a ride I can see this would be helpful...BUT, If you want to ride to work, the park, grocery store or basically anywhere you would need to get off the bike...I would think you would be stuck without having your chair with you.

Plus if after a couple hours and you need to go to the bathroom, Well..........

@doogiediamond -- Trikes dont lean, the difference between a dirt bike and a snowmobile and much like the difference between riding a streetbike and a trike or a can am Spyder. Im paralyzed and have my own adapted motorcycle, and it doesnt make it useless to not able able to get off it, we arent going grocery shopping, we want to feel what its like to have independence back. Like he says its nice to be able to leave your chair behind every once in a while. A bike is a toy, not a work vehicle.

Where can you get these landing gear wheels? I am an amputee who wants to go back to riding
