Turn Your Wheelchair into a Hand Cycle in 30 Seconds
Ok, this one is short and sweet, but I think it’s an awesome demonstration of a really great device. Rio Mobility makes the Dragonfly – a hand cycle wheelchair attachment that takes less than 30 seconds to connect – and you can connect it while you are in your wheelchair.
Rio Mobility also makes an electric hand cycle attachment and seems to be creating some really innovative wheelchair products. We definitely recommend taking a look at their site just to see some of the cool stuff they’ve come up with.
What do you think? Would you want to use a hand cycle attachment like this one? Let us know!
Hello,
I was hoping that I could find a modified version of a manual wheelchair that I could continue to use when I am no longer in need of one. I have discovered the benefits of using a wheelchair for a great upper body workout, as well a great way to get around my pedestrian-friendly city. I have been able to put heavy loads on the back when I am shopping. I used to walk everywhere, but after using the wheelchair the past couple of months I am really sold on the idea of a street chair for people with painful feet or other mobility problems, or just an easier way of getting around. Because there is such a stigma about people using wheelchairs without a disability I think it should be called a street chair and look somewhat different. I have been trying to figure this out for myself and for another family member who would benefit from this type of modification.
Thank you for allowing me to speak my mind. I am eager to find a solution to my problem. If you do know of someone who already makes chairs similar to what I’ve described, please let me know. Thanks again.
