Talk to Mike for Expert Advice on Your Perfect Handcycle
Find your perfect fit with our range of handcycles, including electric options.

Just as we were the first to introduce "the world’s first high performance handcycle", which ushered in the sport we've all come to know world wide as "handcycling", we also produced the "first
production electric powered handcycle".
With our experience making electric powered handcycles we've done the research and testing for you to arrive at very the very best system out there that delivers real world performance to meet the demands of our customers. For those of you not familiar with the system, it locates the motor inside the front wheel hub of the FreedomRyder along with a battery that mounts on the back of the rear frame behind the seat. The system is very easy to use with a simple dash board display with only 3 buttons operating on/off, the desired assist and mileage etc.
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 something 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! In the words of a military Veteran that recently rode the "E-1", (after an enthusiastic whoop and a laugh) “FreedomRyder has done it again!”
This new system works fantastic and from the great feedback we get, we feel the E-1 will set a new standard for handcycles, and all who have ridden one say it represents the future of handcycling.
You'll wonder how you got along without it!

Another new innovation of ours that comes on this model is our new adjustable T-handle width design. We've created the ability to easily change the width of the T-handles to suit your style. By simply changing the length of a bolt and spacer you can change their width to 14"-16"-18" in just minutes. You can order the bike with the spacing you think you want and if you decide later that its not quite right, you can order longer or shorter bolts and spacers for that custom fit at a very reasonable price.
The new E-1 also comes "standard" with a top quality Avid disc brake.
How this new system works
It's not just a motor that drives your handcycle by pressing a button. Its much more than that. The design goal was to make electric power an 'integral part' of the cycling experience, not just an 'on off' system. This system allows you to still get a great physical workout at the level you choose, but offers added benefits. To accomplish this their unique system uses a torque sensing motor that automatically senses your input from the movement and torque of the cranks. It then delivers the pre-selected amount of power assist you choose from 1 thru 5. Never fear any hills again and you can easily keep up with your bicycle riding friends (or even taunt them by easily passing them when you want to :-) There is also a throttle lever that delivers the amount of power you want up to full power whenever needed without pedaling.
To operate the system, you just turn it on, set the desired assist amount and start pedaling. The torque sensing system will engage and works so seamlessly you'll feel like you just received a magic push from an invisible force or a strong tailwind. Not to mention there will be a big smile on your face! When you just need a bit of help getting back home from a long ride you can either use the throttle lever or set the assist level to 5 and cruise easily back home.
We have found that it’s very hard to put into words what riding the "E-1" is really like. We do know one thing though; everyone who tests one gets a big smile on their face and says "I want one!"
