What type of tubing did you use? Thanks for your help.

@jdsnowboy I used 1" diameter .083" wall thickness 4130 chromoly.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

where did you buy that actuator ? what brand and the name? plz

[GT1RR]

@ahmadAN3 The actuator is an Electrak E150. I don't know if they still make this model.

I bought it from Power Drives Inc. A google search on that name will get you to their site.

Thanks a lot for your help! Also did you need to use any bearings on it? And where did you buy the chromoly? Was it pre bent? Thanks a lot!

Im a wheelchair user (spina bifida) and i like bikes but only found out recently about things like this so never ridden one.

To be honest i think id be too much of a wuss to try riding a two wheeler, something like a Harley Trike is more my thing lol

for a paralized rider I would encourage you to just completely get rid of the typical gear box..... and actuator. Convert it to a CVT and WHALA.. no more shifting worries, (its auto) and you keep the engine at its most efficeint section of the power band thus you improve milage and actually power.

where did you get your kit from?

i think its fantastic that this has been done, everyone should be able to experience riding a motorbike, i am currently an new rider on a kawa ninja 250R. Watching this made me smile, knowing that even people in a wheelchair can experience riding a bike :)

I would also really like to find a kit like this. Please help!!!
