The ElectroDrive Smart Power-Assist Handcycle

Innovation Award Winner, Orprotec 2005 in Valencia, Spain

With limited arm strength, peddling a handcycle requires a lot of arm strength. For quadriplegics and others with limited arm strength who are able to peddle on flat level ground, even the smallest hill, curb, or gentle slope becomes an insurmountable mountain. The ElectroDrive Smart "levels the playing field", or in this case, "levels" the bike trail!

Provides adjustable power assist when needed for 12.5 miles (20km) up to a speed of 11.2 mph (18 km/h), conforming to laws of most European countries. Can be operated without power assist.

Mark, Broadened Horizons President and C4/C5 Quadriplegic was able to pedal the Rio Mobility Dragonfly on perfectly level ground with significant handgrip and shifting modifications. However, with limited arm strength, was very frustrated that someone had to walk or jog next to him to provide a helping push at any bump or slope. Then I discovered the ElectroDrive Smart!

The innovative Pedaling Sensor turns on on the motor at the beginning of pedaling and stops it immediately at the end of turning. A Power Assist Throttle lever or grip determines how much power the motor will add. Steep hills are no longer a problem. In flat areas, the power assist can make extended excursions of more than 12.5 miles (20km) possible, providing new freedom and feeling of living. People with limited strength experience new possibilities for training, slowly reducing the amount of power assist needed an increasing independence in many of life's activities. You can always ride without power / motor assist even leave the batteries at home.
