Firstly, a big thanks to you and all at NABD, for the grant you awarded to help with my adaptions and the information I have gained from the Open House magazine. The first trike project, called 'Fox Trike', was going to take some time to build due to new regulations, so the lads at Boom Trikes. (Anthony and lan), gave me another option, to put some adaptions on a 'Wolf Traveller' trike, and even though this project took some time, I must say the wait was worth it. The pictures are numbered to help to explain the adaption work carried out by Boom Trikes to suit the trike to my disability.
Picture 1: This needs no explaining it's me on the trike. Thanks to chaps like you, Billybigbeard, and the rest of the NABD team, I can, through your adaptions grant, have a life on the road once again.
Picture 2: The clutch control has been changed from a foot pedal to a hand lever mounted on the gear stick with the master cylinder below. The fuel filler was re-positioned to the side of the trike. just behind the gear stick.
Picture 3: The foot brake has been moved to the handle bars and is servo assisted. this photo also shows the very neat wheelchair storage system. This is mounted between the rear wheel and body shell. The wheelchair fits upside down on the rack by means of two prongs that push into arms on wheelchair. When the arms are let down, the rack is mounted in a track, on two wheels which you can then push up and down from the seated position.
Picture 4: This shows the wheelchair rack on the right side from the back view. The lads at Boom Trikes kept the rack and track to fit on Wolf Trike so it blended with the frame. The foot plates with velcro straps and the seat harness were also added to suit my disability.
Picture 5: This shows just how well a small bear fits between the headlights. They think of everything those lads at Boom Trikes! The 'Wolf Traveller' is an excellent trike. It's a two seater with a springer front end and a 1200cc VW engine.
Thanks to Anthony and lan at Boom Trikes who helped me by keeping all other costs down as much as possible, and now after the completion of the project. I can tell you honestly that, since my accident, getting on this trike and taking that first ride was the best thrill and joy I've had in the last nine years. Finally, thanks once again to the NABD for the grant. Your help was a big push in the right direction for me, together with list of the trike builders on the web site.
