Easy to use

The add on features of the rear view mirror and crutch holder are cheap and flimsy.

eric l. from plover, wi

Amputee missing whole left leg. Walks with forearm crutches.

All portions of the handcycle are top end products throughout the entire bike.

I requested a 14 speed TOP END bike and on my other Xcellerator I had a 7 speed only but different crank proportions which the O.T. discussed with me 12 years ago. The gearing for this bicycle leaves gears one through seven as so low you would be climbing a 10 degree hill for any use. Gears 8 through 14 provide about the force of second gear on a 3 speed bicycle. You must train in a different manner to satisfy a person with disability's needs more intently

65 years old, paralyzed lower extremities, arms becoming weak. Owned XL Xcellerator for 11 years.

It has a solid frame.

It need brakes on the rear wheels for dismounting. The seat does not go far enough back, uncomfortable with my prosthetics.

gears adjustable, seat and footrest, big wheels

Ease of repair if you follow manual and use allen wrenches that comes with the handcycle.

The chain comes off the sprocket too easily but true of any high end bicycle if not personalized. After personalization, it operates extremely well.

roy l. from sumter, sc

I am 63 years of age and really like my Top End Handcycle. My mobilty is impaired due to calcification of my hip joints. I really appreciate the help.

Easy to get into, pedal, and get out of.

Even in 1st gear, it is much harder to pedal than other bikes with more gears.

carl a. from knotts island, nc

I am a 56 yr old paraplegic with excellent upper body strength. I had used a Freddom Ryder handcycle for years.

I like the way it handles, the seating is very comfortable, & easy to transfer on & off.

The only weakness is the convex mirror, which was an optional accessory. Believe me, it's flimsy & very hard to focus, & positioned in the wrong place. It's not worth the extra $23.00. I had to buy & mount my own flat mirror in a easy-viewing position, which, also, makes it much safer.

Quality product; Well built, Easy to use. FUN

Seat could go back a little more. More adjustments for the foot pegs, otherwise it's great

44 year old, Mom of 4, semi-active personality, with a t-12 parapalegic spinal cord injury.

Provides a workout that is progressively demanding and is also pleasing and empowering - a new freedom.

The crutch holder I ordered is poorly designed. Came with no information and has been of limited use.
