Users comments
It was important for the user to be able to ride a bike with friends. She looked for a solution and found this motorized recumbent bicycle from the Netherlands. The advantage of the reclining bicycle for the user is that she gets more power in her legs when bicycling while lying down. The recumbent bicycle can also be recommended for people with impaired balance and/or neck problems.

In order to bring along the wheelchair the assistive device centers recommended a cart. The user thought that a tow hook, which she made arrangements for herself, was easier and more convenient.
