IS THE PODBIKE FRIKAR SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES?

Information for persons with disabilities in relation to the use of a FRIKAR e-bike.

Reduced function in arms: 

A person who has reduced or no function in one arm will need to have a more customized FRIKAR E-bike. Currently, we do not offer such customization options, but we have a goal of being able to achieve such adaptations in the future.

The steering does not necessarily require both arms, but the issue arises with the need to operate both brakes and the different functions in the left vs. right joystick that serve different functions and the opening and closing of the lightweight canopy.  

Custome Pedals or Pedal Pendulums: 

If you are currently using special pedals or a pedal pendulum, the fit for FRIKAR would depend on the size, as the pedal pendulum might be too big for the FRIKAR due to the clearance between from pedal to the panel being 3 cm on the left side and 2 cm on the right side. If you remove both standard pedals the clearing is around 130 mm per side.size-pedals.png
