Innovative and well done. Local to me too, hope I get to see it in person.
Thanks for posting.

That is cool! Looks uncomfortable though having only arm rests for seats and hard tires.

Look closer and you will see two handgrips in the back. So I would have to say it most likely has two armrests to sit on. Though even given that it still might a little hard on the backside to sit on.

Yeah I saw that, still looks uncomfortable though. Still a cool bike tough.

Looks cool, and i'm glad you posted it, but all they did was take a functional wheelchair and make it into a poorly functioning bike. I think the Leveraged Freedom Chair and similar products are much cooler:

These do the opposite.... they take recycled bicycle parts and turn them into functional wheelchairs. These are popular in developing nations, b/c they actually roll better over unpaved terrain, and they are much cheaper to produce, plus since most of the components are repurposed bike parts, it is easy & cheap to repair/replace parts....

Interesting concept... A idea would be to clip/attach a front part of a bike to a wheelchair,making a trike. Would circulate blood to the legs and exercise them...For some who are wheelchair bound and have use of bottom half?

A guy in boise is selling a kit that adds that functional front wheel. He was a student in our adaptive skiing program.

808- I think the original intent s to create a bike that brings awareness to some heart/hospital program

Yeah, I get that.... but with ppl in this world who need a chair so desperately, it seems goofy to waste a good'n on a promotional stunt.

Another great idea.
