The idea of the wheelchair cycle came from Ross’s love of cycling and wanting to share the ride with his friend Judy. The wheelchair attached to a regular bicycle was not suitable due to a high center of gravity and instability. Ross started riding recumbent bicycles after a neck injury stopped him from riding the more uncomfortable upright bicycles. After discovering front-wheel drive recumbent bicycles on the internet, Ross invented the connecting device for the wheelchair cycle and adapted it to a twisting chain front-wheel drive recumbent bicycle.

The wide gear ratios allow it to travel very fast and climb hills. The addition of an electric hub motor enables the cycle to be used on steep hills and eliminates rider fatigue. The recumbent position allows for easy communication between rider and passenger. The rider in the wheelchair experiences the thrill of cycling and the stability of the wheelchair-cycle combination makes this an excellent choice for riding the park trails and the city cycle routes.
