Push brakes and paddle shifters on ICE Sprint 26

We are putting together a trike for a gentleman with a neurological condition that inhibits "pulling" action with his hands.

He has settled on an ICE Sprint 26 recumbent trike and we have determined a configuration that will allow him to operate his trike with "pushing" actions.

The pictures show a prototype solution. We intend to mount the brake levers backwards so they operate with pushes rather than pulls. Trigger shifters mounted upside down and on the "wrong" side allow the paddles of the shifters to be actuated with pushing action using the palms of his hands.

The cost to configure this is nominal.

It's quite an honor when someone is so happy with they work you did on their recumbent trike, that they want you to do a really special thing on a different cycle they own.

Helping along the road to recovery

Thanks for all your patience. I only wish every company I dealt with was like yours.

I certainly am hoping that I have seen the last of the inside of a hospital for a good long while. Here's to my trike helping me on the road to recovery

Getting the job done right

It was a good trike when I brought it to you, but now it is amazing.

The professional manner in which you treated me and the skill level shown on working on the trike was exemplary. I came to ask about upgrading the trike and I left with it all done.

Learning and choosing versus being sold

Thank YOU - for helping me learn & choose rather than SELLING me a trike.

 See you next Thurs. P[HP Velotechnik, Pedelec]
