News : Wheelchair-accessible motorbike

A UK-based company fine tunes its vehicle that allows a disabled person to ride a motorbike whilst sitting in a wheelchair.

Martin Conquest Limited delivered its first bike to a customer in continental Europe in mid 2007.

Peter van Nooy from the Netherlands became disabled after an accident 18 years ago.

Since receiving his bike van Nooy has become a developer for Martin Conquest Limited, advising the company on how to develop specific features aimed at making the riders experience more comfortable.
