The HP Velotechnik Gekko Hands-On-Cycle is a completely new concept in which a single sub-assembly turns a foot-operated cycle into a hand-operated vehicle. In practice, this means that handcycling has never been so safe and inclusive for people with disabilities.
Unique integration: HP Velotechnik integrates the hand-operated drive including gears and cables within a closed housing. This is an enormous safety advantage. With the Hands-On-Cycle you avoid contacting rotating and oily drive-train parts with your upper body and arms. Other advantages over conventional handcycles: The Hands-On-Cycle has an astonishingly small turning circle, and the tidy cockpit offers the best possible operating comfort.
Outfitted with the latest in German-engineered comfort technology, the new HP Velotechnik Gekko fx26 will not only get you from Point A to Point B in first-class comfort and style, but will also encourage you to visit Points C, D, and E along the way!
