Just a few days later, after more discussions with Rory, we began to look at how the machine could stow the front wheel, and remove the pedals.
(Editors Note from Bill: This actually began a difficult foray into asking too much of the design. We wanted it to be a handcycle and a wheelchair. Later, after much time and pain, we removed the wheelchair function and got back to the roots of the design which was truly a “Morphing Handcycle” Interestingly, now there is a new project, just beginning, for a Morphing Wheelchair that will apply the morphing mobility lessons that we learned, but now to a wheelchair rather than handcycle-centered design.)
