That is cool! Looks uncomfortable though having only arm rests for seats and hard tires.
Look closer and you will see two handgrips in the back. So I would have to say it most likely has two armrests to sit on. Though even given that it still might a little hard on the backside to sit on.

Yeah I saw that, still looks uncomfortable though. Still a cool bike tough.
Looks cool, and i'm glad you posted it, but all they did was take a functional wheelchair and make it into a poorly functioning bike. I think the Leveraged Freedom Chair and similar products are much cooler:
These do the opposite.... they take recycled bicycle parts and turn them into functional wheelchairs. These are popular in developing nations, b/c they actually roll better over unpaved terrain, and they are much cheaper to produce, plus since most of the components are repurposed bike parts, it is easy & cheap to repair/replace parts....

Interesting concept... A idea would be to clip/attach a front part of a bike to a wheelchair,making a trike. Would circulate blood to the legs and exercise them...For some who are wheelchair bound and have use of bottom half?
A guy in boise is selling a kit that adds that functional front wheel. He was a student in our adaptive skiing program.

808- I think the original intent s to create a bike that brings awareness to some heart/hospital program

Yeah, I get that.... but with ppl in this world who need a chair so desperately, it seems goofy to waste a good'n on a promotional stunt.

Another great idea.
