A third‐wheel attachment would not allow as much ground clearance as is possible with an actual three‐wheeled chair, but could still be very helpful! Implementation of the same basic concept varies considerably.

Compare with adaptive cycling, and outdoorsy chairs for ease of trekking.

1. Would like to try

  • Stricker Lomo 360: Stricker mainly make handcycles, most notably for touring. The Lomo 360 retains that seriousness of intent, without all the bulk and complexity of an actual handcycle. Generally, Stricker kit can be fitted with safety brakes, cargo baskets, and other features.
  • FreeWheel FreeWheel: An alternate third‐wheel attachment. Careless name (“freewheel” already having a meaning in the context of geared wheels, which is relevant to certain wheelchairs). Not as robust‐looking as the Lomo 360, nor able to be fitted with accessories with which the Lomo 360 can.
