Discover the Joy of Cycling

This handcycle is designed for outdoor operation on sidewalks, non-rocky paths and smooth streets, and is narrow for transitioning to indoors. Its small 16" wheels can be any of these: Wooden spoked or plank wheels; Purchased or salvaged wheels from child-size bikes; Solid wood 'disk' wheels; or Wheelbarrow wheels with either pneumatic or foam-core flat-less tires. The single-speed fixed-gear transmission requires 2 screw-on/bolt-on sprockets and matching chain. The Handy cannot accommodate linkage-drive (insufficient clearances) or a front freewheel hub (no reverse would be possible); it is single-speed chain-drive only. Can carry a toddler or a large water jug or a couple bags of groceries. Ergonomics, sizing and special-needs adaptations are all highly adjustable by the owner/builder.
