Wheelchair friendly cycles open up shared journeys in a simple and joyful way. Wheelchair tandems and transporters place the passenger at the front so they enjoy a clear view and easy conversation with the rider. They allow anyone who cannot pedal to still be part of the experience and enjoy the freedom that cycling brings.

Wheelchair tandems combine an independent wheelchair with a cycle section at the rear. When you reach your destination you can detach the cycle part in a few seconds. The passenger can then move on using the wheelchair alone. This design also makes transport and storage much easier. These are purpose built machines, created for comfort, safety and smooth handling.

Wheelchair transporters carry passengers in their own wheelchair on a secure ramped platform. They work well in places with many riders, such as special schools and care homes. These models are usually heavier and wider, with low gearing for steady rides. A pedal assist motor is worth considering for hills or frequent use.

More advanced models offer improved steering for tight turns and some even include a reverse gear. If you plan to transport the whole cycle, look for versions that separate for easier lifting.
