Recumbents & Eze Riders

EZE RIDERS

Eliminates the Need for Lifting
Many teachers, physios, and carers would like to see all their clients exercising properly, but lifting the heavier ones on to a cycle is not only difficult, but also dangerous to the lifters. This range of cycles maybe what many people are looking for as it was designed to eliminate the need for such lifting.

The cycle is a recumbent with a "C" frame. The seat height is similar to that of a wheelchair. One side open, so there is no obstruction in front of the seat, making for easier transfer, with minimum to no lifting.

Another important feature is the seat will give a good full body support. The back of the seat can be as high as you wish and can be fitted with straps placed wherever you like.The seats can be quickly adjusted to suit each rider's leg length.

This cycle will lessen or eliminate Plantiflexing (pointing down of the toes), since the pedaling is done out front. Another therapeutic advance, which can be fitted, is our adjustable pedal arms, allowing pedals to be closer to the centre of rotation, avoiding extremes of flexion and extension in knee joints.

The gearing system can be as you wish; fixed wheel, foot brake, gears etc, and can be any combination on the double.

Optional  Accessories

The EZE RIDER CYCLES will work well around school grounds, but is also versatile enough to be used in Fun Runs and Promotions of the Centre/school.

The Double
The usual drive configuration is, the second rider has fixed wheel (when the cycle is in motion the pedals turn) and the first rider has foot and hand brakes. Gears can be fitted if required.

The Train
The Full Riding Experience / Benefits Except for Steering

Our train consists of, a " Prime Mover" either an adult tricycle and one or more pedalled carriages/trailers. The train/carriage is attached to the prime mover and is pulled/guided like a trailer. The Carriage riders are sitting on a fully supported seats while being held with safety straps. The Carriage has the same quick adjustable bars as found on the "Eze Rider" but are fixed. Since the carriage is fixed wheel the riders must pedal when the carriage is in motion.

The Carriages are of the EZE RIDER TYPE which means they are a recumbent (lie down cycle) with a "C" frame allowing easy access to the seat. This operation requires no lifting of the rider onto the seat. It's another avenue to get more severely disabled people riding.
Except for steering, the Carriage has the same feature as an "Eze Rider".

16A) RECUMBENT TRICYCLES
Some people find this cycle appealing because are a very stable way to exercise in a fun way. The extra fun comes in the way it steers. The bars on the side of the seat are the steering bars which makes the bike handle like a car. Usually fitted with 3, 5 or 7 speed internal gear hub with foot brake. Recumbents have been used to set cycling speed records and are bought by both able bodied riders and riders with a disability. They are quite suited to a person with a disability because of the type of seat and low centre of gravity.
