According to a study conducted in 2010 by the U.S Federal Census Bureau, 1 on 5 people and 53 millions of Americans are suffering with some type of disability ; a staggering increase of 2.2 millions from 2005.  Under the light of these facts, we think it is of paramount importance to play our part in providing disabled people with the ressources they need in order to live a fulfilling life and to unleash their full potential. 

In this article we'll provide tools & ressources of all types national & international to help the disabled across the country to get the respect they deserve. Ressources will range from social associations and organisations, to federal and governmental ressources and programs, to innovations in disabled assistance technologies and much more.

best tricycle conversion kit there is (:~:)

best retailer for the best tricycle conversion kit there is (:~:)

Bike came bent wheels bent fender and bent frame. It is unusable. Company only offered $300.00 refund. Bad company. Very disappointed and unsatisfied. Tried giving no stars but won’t let me

Tricycle kit!

Arrived with slight damage to packing but all was well inside. Unit itself is extremely strongly built. A couple of problems fitting the derailieur, threaded hanger was in AF thread not the standard metric of most changer units!
Good delivery to here in the UK!

Very Good Trike

Put this kit on a Day 6 21 speed. I had to cut off derailer tab on bike frame to install, but bike will never be a 2 wheeler again. Also on small front sprocket chain rides on bike frame. No big deal because small sprocket not used very often. Going from 26 to 20" wheels only cost me one gear. This is probably the best kit on the market. Overall very happy. Thanks

Fantastic product and quick shipping

product is well designed and well engineered shipping and customer service is 2nd to none
