The Grasshopper
The motivation behind the El Tucura (The Grasshopper) trike was to give paraplegic users the opportunity to enjoy the thrill of off-road downhill mountain biking, promoting it as an integrated nationwide sport. A crank handle drive means hands are free for steering while accelerating and three 180mm disc brakes and a 250mm suspension give added control on those extreme downhills. I’d have no qualms about trading in my two-wheels for these three!

Ouch… Take a look at that seat. Eek. No way I’m putting my crotch *there* on a bumpy hill slope…
How is power transmitted from the crank to the wheels?
How do you brake?
Some technical detail would be nice.
Good effort, though!

this “bike” is not made for regular human … If you have something between your legs (male or female) you can’t use it … designers, please be smart, dont think only about style ! …

Where to leave your legs (apart from just hanging around)… Especially as a paraplegic.
Please try to filter out the crap before posting
