Need more videos of him, Don. This guy is an inspiration and I'm thinking about crowd funding a bike for my para cousin. He's always been a huge hardass before his accident, I know if I got him one he would excel like this young man!
i have a grandmother whos leg was ran over as a child in germany by a tank and she will never be able to enjoy running or ridding a bike, this is one thing that im trying to make happen for her before she leaves this earth.
+Shawn Morton That does sound likely. However that's quite irrelevant. The fact that a tank might mess up your leg beyond saving doesn't disprove the fact that she was hit by a tank. Your comment makes no sense whatsoever.
I find these types of videos quite helpful. I am working in the ideal positioning on my handcycle to maximize efficiency. Watching this straight line cranking is great reference. Based on this video, I need to recline more and move my crankset down and back.
suggestion, with the arms you can easily push and pull, while legs mostly push. Additionally legs are typically used with 180°phase while arms are typically used in sync.
I appreciate the need for handcycles, and recumbent bikes... I've been looking at getting one. This video, though, is rubbish - even if the product is any good (which you can't tell). Endless footage of the rider going in a straight (or near-straight) line, over flat sealed surface... This does not demonstrate for how much effort it takes to get the bike started, or how it brakes, or handles bumps, or corners. 1 out of 10, dude.
Thousands of miles without contact to the frame or the road except one accident on my Freedom Ryder head first forward flip after contact with a curb hit with my rear right wheel I didn't expect. Had to replace two rims and skin in a number of places. I hit my chin on the cub on the other side of the road, no stitches needed. Yes I was going very fast after a down hill and made a last instant decision to turn right. I am no Evil Kanevil! Winter in Colorado so I am mono-skiing at Copper Mountain and Eldora Resort a couple times a week and my Force RX hand cycle on my Cyclops indoor trainer till spring.
I'm looking at starting a shop that sells recumbent bicycles, and trikes, and velomobiles. And, will be including cycles that are made specifically for the physically challenged.
How are you I 'm Oliver and I'm studying 3 semester of high school, I 'm doing a project with colleagues in my room which is a bike for disabled and non-disabled who can pedal with your hands, my problem is that I doubt about how to put the brake system in a way that leads to turning the pedals could you tell me how your handbike works in the brake system can not get stuck ? I would appreciate. Cheers
LINYJumper, why is everything, which is unknown immediately thought as dangerous. This is a race Handbike and like bike racing the biggest danger is doping and overtraining. Accidents are rare and mostly harmless. He won't scrape his elbows as the bike doesn't dive in corners. The feets are fixed to prevent leg suck, the chain is only moving if his hands are moving because of the low center of gravity, it is almost not flippable and in the events of a collision, you are feet first vs head first
+Will Davis Yea my eye was drawn to that right away. The elbows come way too close to the ground. I kept thinking if there were big enough (small) rocks on the road it could really hurt a lot.
Ok, I see that it's got great momentum.......but what about turning radius, and ease of handling during a turn? I have friends that could use a cycle that will allows for them to move forward with their physical health.
For idiots who no longer have use of their legs yet still want to get out and about? smart comment mate. I have lost use of my legs and I would love one of these.
I would like to give you guys/gals a run for your money . . . where can I get parts . . . I want to put something together and come to your gathering(s).
Not some thing I would want to ride on the street by my self. People run in to other cars all the time let alone some kid laying on the ground... in the road. Stay safe
The head posistion is actualy no different to sitting on a couch or chair and is far less worse for you then sitting on an computre chair all day at work. The risk of carpal tunnel is very small, you use your shoulders through to your arms to move not your wrist. And in any case the benifits of someone in a chair being active far outway the risks of sitting on you're ass.
A menos que haya la imposibilidad de usar las piernas no le veo la utilidad de exponer los codos y el físico terminando incrustado en la panza de alguna camioneta o en la defensa de un auto. Sería útil para discapacitados pero un poco mas alto para un fácil acceso .

Racing handcycles are some of the tightest lookin' trikes, wow. Looking good.
Yes, Hand-Crank and Pushrim wheelchairs are designed for disabled athletes. Adam rocks! Not only is he a great athlete he is a wonderful young man.

cool, beter than my USVA delta trike. Tanks for posting this video.
this is a great handcycle have used this a few times myself...definately wished i could afford one!
Better than the quickie shark isnt it.
I call this one the elbow eraser..
or the double elbow red line maker :P
That concept is built for speed.
Man that thing is cool!! Thanks for sharing!
Hahaha just when i tought i was the only one that i saw the elbow erasing :D
oi linda!

For racing mate
These bikes seem interesting. I would like to try one.
Good Luck for Adam Rose for Next Race. I'm Deaf Western Australian Recumbent rider. ( normal Bike )
Nasty ride, Buddy! : )

ok
I had exactly the same thought.
That is real aero and not the crappy time trial bikes.

good one bud. keep it up
How are you

Cool looking bike. Not sure if I'd like the impeded view with the crank, wheels etc being in your line of sight.
Still cool tho !
this is something I would recommend for people in those wheelchairs
No elbow pads? Really? His skin comes so close to the tarmac.
+Will Davis Yea my eye was drawn to that right away.
The elbows come way too close to the ground.
I kept thinking if there were big enough (small) rocks on the road it could really hurt a lot.
+Will Davis
Tarmac? I dont see planes, I see cars parked along the road.
His full power rotation never came to close so he figured why wear pads.
Wonder why the grips are together and not apart like on a bicycle?
Hahahah, I would get a pair of elbow pads so you don't destroy your elbows on the pavement
good point
Me too
how do you steer this think?!
Why?
It doesn't tilt for cornering, so the elbows never get any closer to the ground than that.
cool handbike :D
Whats your current average pace? Current fastest pace?
These are meant more for racing anyway. On track, usually within a Velodome.
Holy moly... He have to be really really strong :O
Not really, looks like he weighs 100lbs, alot easier to ride the less you weigh, I ride a hancycle too and I'm 220lbs.
yes
Es maravilloso
The bike is very nice looking
i wonder how often he scrapes his elbow on the ground? cause it looks like it would happen quite often
Ok, I see that it's got great momentum.......but what about turning radius, and ease of handling during a turn? I have friends that could use a cycle that will allows for them to move forward with their physical health.
wht happens when u try to take on a curb or speed bump?
¿donde encuentro una y cuanto cuestan?
For idiots who no longer have use of their legs yet still want to get out and about? smart comment mate. I have lost use of my legs and I would love one of these.
if i wanna take a curve, how can i make it?
looks like hard work
OoooK, lo quiero ver en una subida
this bike would be very usefull for people in wheelchairs ! do you agree ?
why does he crank together and not alternately?
EPIC!!
DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry keys got stuck in caps lock while I was picking up my jaw off the floor.
I would like to give you guys/gals a run for your money . . . where can I get parts . . . I want to put something together and come to your gathering(s).
where can i order one of these?
it's cool !
interesting, verry interesting
I think if i were designing it, i'de make it more of a row boat action. it looks a bit awkward pedaling... cool ride nonetheless
How does one keep a strait face while riding this
the road is very good
Yesh
Now how about we combine together hand power and foot power.
nothing like creating carpal tunnel and forward head posture
is this for handicapped?
uphill?
Looks like a real ball breaker if you hit something dead on.
my neck would be killing me
Hellaflush!
That thing is low. You can see the underside of road markings from there.
They see me rollin'
They hatin'
Вот откуда появился терминатор )
Alguém do Brasil por aqui?
Eu
Comment tu tourne
how do you turn on it!?
+Kids Mcgee no switch needed
you just move it, kinda like if you have your hands on each side of a steering wheel. thats what it feels like
I would use an elbow protector... just in case!
and now a speed bump
Anybody else on a random video streak?
I thought handcycle will go much slower. In this video it looks like it goes very fast.
about the direction don't balance while pedaling (with te hands)
Do the humpty hump!
Not some thing I would want to ride on the street by my self. People run in to other cars all the time let alone some kid laying on the ground... in the road. Stay safe
Quato custa
in all honesty i doubt very often. unless his hand slipped off the cranks or during a turn.
а как же безопасность??? защиты в районе локтей нет, почти касаются асфальта...
that cool good engineering
YAH BLESS
klass
no direction ?
Quato costa um dese
Гепа (Кернес с Харькова) на таком трайке катал...
nossa esse triciclo deve ser bom para ralar o cutuvelo
I wonder if he ever smacks his elbows?

Elbow!
a head on crash would be devastating if you know what i mean
its mainly for people that are paralyzed.
good exercise for chest xD
Yep, cool.. still 15 sec would suffice not to insult the reason of ordinary viewer.
why am i watching this
COOL, NOW I CAN SLEEP WHILE I, UH, HAKE, BAKE? BIKE? TRIKE? LAYDOWNIKE?
IT'S CALLED A JOKE, WAY TO ASSUME. And don't call me a friend, you don't know me.
not bad
I want one
no you don't
А рулить то как? И локти по земле ...... !
Id be more worried about my rump hitting random rocks, potholes and manholes!!!
