If you have been following our posts about a project we feel very privileged to be involved with, then you will be aware of the Pushing the Limits expedition (http://www.pushingthelimits.com). This is Andy Campbell's quest to get around the world - but with a difference....
Andy is travelling around the world predominately by the use of his wheelchair. To save his arms crossing mountain ranges etc he is going to use a Parajet paramotor fitted to a specially adapted trike that we have fabricated at our factory.
Please show your support and follow Andy through his adventure, he is one of the most inspirational characters we get in the workshop and being able to support him on this epic journey is awesome for all involved at Parajet.
Here is a short clip of the “Pushing the Limits Trike” Kester has made over the last couple of months. This trike was an interesting design project as Andy needs to be able to have his legs protected and fixed as well as having the front wheel on a ‘coaster’ design. We have also fitted the rear wheels with independent disk brakes to allow steering when rolling under power (wing down).
Andy we all wish the best of luck and will be following your endeavours all the way around the world.
