A total of 45 Mobility Conquest Trikes set to arrive in Akron Ohio and are to be sold by MobilityWorks in their various showrooms.
Conquest Trikes are modified BMW’s that allow a wheelchair to roll into a secure position behind a pair of handlebars, and ride away.
They will be distributed to a network of authorized mobility van dealers throughout the country, with manufacturing of the Conquest eventually being completed by the MobilityWorks Commercial Manufacturing Division.
Founded in 1997, MobilityWorks is a national wheelchair accessible van dealership headquartered in Akron, OH. The company provides lowered floor minivans and full-size vans equipped with a ramp or lift, rental vans, adaptive equipment and mechanical service. With 12 different showroom and service locations in 7 states; California, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin with approximately 200 employees they are one of the largest accessible van providers in the United States
The motorcycle is capable of going 0-60 MPH in 7.6 seconds and a 15-second quarter mile time. A ramp at the rear of the motorcycle allows for the rider to pull themselves along two-rails to an electronic clamp that holds the wheelchair in place. Sitting higher than the standard motorcycle height, changing gears is managed with an electronic push-button cluster under the left-hand grip, which includes a reverse.
The Conquest Trike has been proven over several years (in England and Europe) to deliver superior performance, maneuverability and paraplegic wheelchair driving capabilities.
