HandCycle / Ergometer Quad Grips

I personally use these grips. They are far superior with more applied power, and more comfortable with less chance of developing sores or blisters then other solutions such as tripin grips and especially leather and Velcro handwraps.

-Mark Felling

Ideal solution for C5, C6, and C7 Quadriplegics with limited hand grasp

Provide an ergonomic, vertical hand position on the cranks

Easy to put on/remove independently with 2 Velcro closures

Wider hand position improves power stroke for Quadswith limited to no use of certain muscle groups in the back, chest, and triceps

Design allows rider to separate from the cranks momentarily for shifting, during breaks, to scratch an inch or swat a mosquito, etc. with adjustable ball detent so that the separation pressure can be tailored to the user's strength

Soft, stretchable fabric contours snugly & comfortably to users hand while breathing freely. Reinforced by rigid plastic

theSince the front end of the new Quickie Shark disconnects from the rear, it can make transfers for those requiring assistance significantly easier.

The Quickie Mach 2 allows for easier seat to seat, same height transfers. Similar to the Top Excelerator but $200 less expensive and easier to transfer in and out of with less obstructions.($1,295)	With Quickie's Cycl-One you can go without ever having to transfer out of your wheelchair. ($1,195)
