Oscar's TOM Project

The challenge

This project will provide Oscar with a way to enjoy one of his favorite hobbies again with an adapted gear switcher.

Who it helps

Oscar is an avid biker who lost mobility in his right hand due to a stroke. He is unable to change the gears on the right side of his bike.

How it works

This solution will allow Oscar to be able to switch all of the gears with his hand that still has mobility.

We are switching the right gears to the left side of the bike and adding a support near his left hip to place the gear on top of.

Tools needed

Heavy duty gloves

Protective glasses

Measurement tool

Clamps

Screwdriver set

Allen keys set

Rubber Hammar

scissors

Pvc pipe cutter
