Pedal Wheelchair

While waiting for therapy to start, a curious-looking, brightly-colored wheelchair caught my attention.


It's a pedal wheelchair, suitable for people who are unable to use the regular hand-propelled wheelchair. One hand controls the steering by rotating a brake-like gadget with the elbow as a pivot. D the TA let me try it after my therapy session. I'm game for it.

Difficulty in transferring over to the chair because of the pedals in the middle of the chair. Unfortunately, I still have problem operating it because I couldn't quite pedal continuously. And I found it difficult to control the steering too. No good for me :( Otherwise, it's a cool product.
