Bugsy Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 They have been around for a while but are excellent for those who still want that bike experience, but are wheelchair bound.As youngsters one of our group had a sidecar outfit with a box attached. It enabled whoever had a broken leg or other injury at the time to still come out with us on ride-outs. [:D]Happy days [8-|]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1steveuk Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I did post these before, but it's fitting they go here too,my firiend Jason Watt, one time F3000 champion, and SINCE his accident, Dutch Touring car champion. He was to have driven for Williams in F1, until the accident.[IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t215/f1steveuk/jason2.jpg[/IMG][IMG]http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t215/f1steveuk/jason.jpg[/IMG]The retractable wheels are electro pneumatic, and retract and deploy VERY VERY quickly.

Chancer Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I was trying to work out howthe stabilisers work and then scrolled down, it was like you read my mind!Am I right in thinking that needs assistance to get on and off the bike? I guess that he cant take his wheelchair with him either or is their something even more clever in the top box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1steveuk Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Jason gets on and off himself, he has incredible strength in his arms, always did, just more so now. Idon't know what he does when arrives at his distination, probably rides the bike straight in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
