Full Description
The Duet Tandem Wheelchair Bicycle
The DUET accommodates kids from ages 2 to 99+ and all sizes from 20 to 275 pounds! The DUET is offered in 3 models Basic, Plus, and Electric Plus. Each are colorfully designed and combined the latest in cycle technology with advanced wheelchair design enabling easy and comfortable pedaling to ensure maximum maneuverability with minimum effort. The wheelchair’s low center of gravity provides superior weight distribution and overall stability. The DUET wheelchair seat supports the back in a natural position and aids in passenger relaxation. Most importantly, the cyclist can easily communicate and supervise the wheelchair passenger while facing forward. It’s the exhilaration of the wind brushing by your face as friends and family ride together. Once you’ve reached your destination the wheelchair disconnects and can be used independently!
Cognitive Abilities
For safe independent use, users must understand cause + effect (action = result). Independent use requires directional understanding (i.e. moving the wheels in one direction results in matching chair movement), problem solving (i.e. combine + time movements to get from A to B), and judgment (ability to learn that if something is unsafe they should not do it).
Functional Abilities
Users must have sufficient vision, trunk control and enough upper extremity grip, strength and stamina to steer and/or propel the chair. For foot propulsion, users must also have functional use of at least one lower extremity. Their adjustable foot and armrests and seat position make them appropriate for users requiring minimal positioning. This chair may not be appropriate for those with visual deficits, uncontrolled seizures, bilateral upper extremity weakness and those with poor trunk control.
Environment
Standard wheelchairs can be used both indoors and outdoors. They perform best on firm, flat surfaces such as pavement, groomed footpaths, cycle paths and in and around home. While it can be used outdoors, they not intended to be used on rough terrain, slopes, loose gravel, or sand. Their relatively small turn radius makes them appropriate for indoor use where space is limited.
Activities
Their maneuverability and small turn radius make standard wheelchairs ideal for use in tight spaces (stores, elevators, public washrooms, public transit etc.). While they can be used outdoors, they are best for activities done on flat level surfaces like urban sightseeing or sidewalk commuting.
