DING BOB TRIKES AUSTRALIA

 

   

 

'THE BLOODY PARAPLEGIC'S 'Weekender' TRIKE 

STORY AND PICS

  for everyone who needs to ride with hand controls.

 

John became a t3 Paraplegic after suffering a Spinal cord injury at the age of 16 which confined him to a wheelchair. 5 years later he had his right leg removed.  He finally decided - at the age of 56 - to have a Ding Bob trike built with all the controls on the bars. Ding Bob has done a number of these so there is nothing new there but John wanted a Harley Davidson front end and eventually settled on a 1600cc VW motor with a Automatic gearbox. You can follow the story through the idea and  the building of The Bloody Paraplegic's trike.
