The challenge

Caroline rode her hand bike from Mont-Saint-Michel to Nantes ! Ready to repeat this incredible experience, she wants to be more independent with her hand bike to make it easier to get around.

Who it helps

How it works

- Rear carriage constructed from metal tubes to the handbike

- A rotating piece on the handle makes it possible to latch the brakes and leaving them firmly activated - An off-the-shelf accessory for hooking the phone to the bike, secured with rubber bands

The solution provides the possibility of braking the handbike without Caroline having to hold the breaks with her hands. Moreover, the solution allows Caroline to take her wheelchair and small luggage with her when traveling with the handbike.
