    I have disc degeneration in my neck and lower back and have a Service Dog that was trained to assist me with forward momentum using a side bracket attached to the wheel hub on the wheel. I don't have the use of my neighbor's recumbent bike since I moved out of state. I know one day the frayed nerve cord down my legs will sever completely and I'll be needing a wheelchair since I'll be completely paralyzed. I don't have strong upper body strength especially when the nerves in my neck are being pinched on vertebrae grinding bone on bone and my fingers, hands sometimes have pain/numbness when I tried moving a wheelchair when I went to hospital for PT. One of my therapists of bringing my Mobility Service Dog to train more in assisting me when I am paralyzed and full time in a wheelchair. I'm not yet needing a wheelchair to move about the small apt. I live in, but have been unable to go for the walks 2 X's a day or do anything outdoors for a long time. The arthritis in my back, neck and legs has been bad this last winter. But when I saw your video on the mountain bike of wheelchairs, I was excited and wanting to regain independence and freedom to be outdoors again. I wouldn't be able to afford to buy one of your wheelchairs, but could you help me be able to modify a medical wheelchair I can apply for through my medical insurance? I've looked at the Sacco quad carts, but it wouldn't fit inside or easily go through the doorway...and of course I can't afford 5-6 thousand dollars. The neighbor came up with the idea of me getting tubing from Home Depot and making it into a bracket to bolt to his recumbent bike, he also modified it with a battery to assist even him up hills (he had bad knees) so when needed I could help my Service Dog when going up hills or steep driveways etc. I would deeply appreciate any help and info. on how I can modify me a wheelchair to be able to gain access to being outdoors again. Especially after nearly 2 yrs. of Covid lockdown.

    I like that it says affordable but the chairs cost $3,000
    which is more than some of the currently available nicer manual wheelchairs

    How can we engineer the hub to get power on both strokes of the crank levers?

      What a brain you have, that is the best comment, work the lever on a cog and when you move the lever forward then backwards the cog is making a full rotation, should be simple for these guys, I hope they do it, add another cog halfway up the lever handle is how I think it could be done

    Wouldn't want to fall on those handles. Maybe a bent wrapped end for hands.

    Why do they cost thousands of dollars in the United States? We have a lot of low income families and Medicare does will not pay that much. Please try.
