I wonder what all those MAMILs (Middle Aged Man In Lycra - a “slur” against racing cycle elitists) would think about this…
Isn’t this basically just how a recumbent bicycle (or quadracyle I guess) works?
Yup, but this one lacks breaks!
Also the pedals are pretty far from the seat since it’s designed for you to sit up and not be reclined like a recumbent bike
The breaks aren’t the biggest problem; if both wheels are connected by a drive axel, youve now lost the ability to steer.
Idk this is probably for people with extra breaks.
Now brakes on the other hand…
This afaik is a thing that exists already and not everyone who is in a wheelchair has no use of their legs
I’ve used a wheelchair for back problems where I couldn’t stand but my legs worked great. People would look at me with such judgement when I would reposition my legs without using my hands, but I’m not gonna explain my whole situation to every person who walks by.
If you angle the pedal pole further up I think it’d actually be usable
It wasn’t aerodynamic enough
