Handcycling is a popular hobby carried out by many individuals. A few of these individuals are however in a wheelchair and transporting their personal hand-cycle can lead to astray of difficulties. Most of these difficulties involve the user in the wheelchair having no assistance to mount the hand-cycle to the car in an efficient, safe and effective way. This is where the introduction of a handcycle car rack takes place. There are a variety of handcycle car racks on the market today however the reliability, durability and ease of use is always in question when it comes to the car racks currently used. The price of some of these is astronomical and just not affordable for the majority of wheelchair users. Also, with the use of electrical components raises the issue of reliability of the rack especially in the harsh climates that occur in the Vancouver area. Throughout this project, the team and the client have been closely working together to come up with a handcycle car rack that can be easily used by the client while using no electrical components.
