NEW HANDY
Industry type:Transportation
Product model number:Foldable 24sp / Foldable DC 8sp
Pacific Cycles, Inc.
award 3

Since 2010 we have been working closely together with various associations to discover and observe the needs of people using handcycles; this has giving us a whole new picture of what our next generation HANDY should look like and what functions it should have.

Storage and portability: Regular handcycles’ bulky size have always caused issues for storing or transporting. The biggest feature of the new HANDY is that it can fold down to half of its size making it perfect for storing in your house or car trunks.

One size fits all: Another unique feature of the new HANDY is that it’s highly adjustable to fit every users’ individual needs. Its cockpit reach, handlebar height, and seat position are all designed with adjustable systems to accommodate all types of body conditions.

Power assist: The advantages of electric power assist are allowing users to reach further distance and easier uphill climbing. Instead of using a regular bicycle motor we had to develop a new motor system specifically for handcycling, because human’s hand power output is only 1/6 of leg power output. This handcycle motor system provides an optimized assisting power while cycling with both hands simultaneously.

Suspension: Elastomer suspension is designed onto the frame to bring comfort, stability, and a big smile on users’ face!
