I have been investigating various forms of trikes, and almost jumped up and down in my wheelchair when I read about the Spyder. floto612...Paraplegic Spyder Ryder
Hello Varkie,
I'm up here in central Canada, in the province of Ontario.
Had a motorbike accident 35 years ago, leaving me a complete T 12.
Got into a Goldwing a number years ago, putting a sidecar on it and building an electric over air shifter myself. Sidecar was great for holding my wheelchair and luggage. But I did want a sports bike, and along came the Spyder.
My dealer got me involved with BRP and I was very lucky to get one of the very first Spyders, back in Nov. 2007. I built my own brake conversion, floorboards (no velcro), shifting system and wheelchair mount. You can send me your email in a Private Message, and I will send you my designs. Nothing fancy, but I know have over 22,000 km of open road enjoyment!
A very rewarding thing for me, is helping others with disabilites, to enjoying the open road experience of the Spyder. Today, I have been in contact and helped 31 folks, pardon the pun, step onto a Spyder.
When the time comes, pop me a private email and I send you what I have.
Keep well, floto612
