GlideCycle for Disabled People

Posted by Brian | Alternative Energy, Flyscooters | Posted on March 27th, 2009

It will surely be a dream for the people with disabilities if they could glide along the roads alongside normal people. Developed in Oregon, the GlideCycle can be powered with just one leg, or two disabled legs. Perfect for overweight individuals, disabled folks, amputees, or even injured able-bodied people, the no-impact GlideCycle lets folks exercise outdoors with ease.

One user has said that unlike wheelchairs or handcycles, the GlideCycle keeps him higher off the ground, up with the regular runners and cyclists, exercising his good leg. He almost forgets he’s an amputee when using the GlideCycle. That’s a pretty powerful endorsement.

The PT Pro model is priced at $1,649. A consumer version of the product will be available over the summer, price unknown at this time.
