Ride with family and friends. Don't be left behind!With the addition of electric power a great handcycle suddenly becomes something special. You no longer need to worry about long rides or being too tired to extend your ride because you have to save your energy for the return trip. You no longer need to worry about those steep hills on your route or keeping up with other riders. No more shoulder pain from grinding up too many hills. In fact you'll never be intimidated by another hill again!
Responsive & DependableOnly recently has the latest Lithium Ion battery technology improved to the point where we can produce a product that we feel brings real world performance that will meet the demands of our customers. For those of you not familiar with our new system, it includes a motor inside the front wheel hub of the Freedom Ryder. The battery mounts on the back of the rear frame behind the seat. There's an easy to use and easy to read dash that mounts in front of the rider. There's also an independent throttle lever to use if you're not pedaling.
![]() Electric Power makes all the difference
We chose our system after a lot of research and testing. We wanted to make sure it would offer advantages and performance the others can't. Our system works differently than you might imagine. It's not just a motor that drives your handcycle by pressing a button. Our design goal was to make electric power an 'integral part' of the cycling experience, not an 'on-off' system. This system allows you to still get a great physical workout at the level you choose, but offers added benefits. Our unique system uses a torque sensing motor that automatically senses your input from the cranks and delivers the pre-selected level of power assist you choose, from 1-5. There is also a throttle button that delivers full power instantly when needed without pedaling. You just begin pedaling and the motor senses your input and delivers the power setting you've chosen. The torque sensing system works so seamlessly you'll feel like you just received a magic push from an invisible force or a strong tailwind. When you come to a hill or just need a bit of help getting back home from a long ride you can either just push the throttle button and power up the hill or keep pedaling and it will feel like your pedaling on level ground. Great performance You'll reach the top of the steepest hill with a big smile on your face and never fear any hill again! When it comes time to coast down the hill it even has 'regenerative braking' that kicks in when you apply the brake lever slightly which works as its own braking force when coasting down hills. (A further movement of the brake lever will operate the bike’s brakes.) This 'regenerative system' generates power that helps recharge your battery that will extend your ride distance.
