   Reviewer: james d. from naples, fl

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

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

   Weaknesses: 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

   Strengths: It has a solid frame.

   Reviewer: roy e. l. from schaumburg, il

   User Details: 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.

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

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

   Reviewer: robert h. from plain city, oh

   User Details: Male, 67-year old, paraplegic

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

   Weaknesses: 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.
