What did you create?

An open hand cycle is a detachable adapter-type rowing bicycle that is assembled from materials available to buy online and attached to a standard wheelchair. It is designed for use to be used by children and adults and can be assembled with a material cost of only about 20,000 yen, mainly for physically disabled people.

Why did you make it?

Based on the bicycle parts and aluminum frame, it does not require special techniques such as welding, and it is configured as a part of the process that minimizes cutting, drilling and polishing, so it can be assembled at home. You can easily change the size as you grow. This will be used as a special support school, and test drive experiences and workshops will be provided for children who cannot usually go out.
