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.

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]

Easy choice

I researched this for years before buying the ICE Sprint. In the end, it was an easy choice. --DW

Got the right trike
Hugh: Thank you very much for helping me get onto the right trike for me. I am quite pleased with the upgraded version of my Terratrike and I have been able to already make 3 different runs in excess of 10 miles each round trip.
