Project Timeline

Jan 2025 - Apr-2025

OVERVIEW

NC-Handcycling request We are interested in the development of a new product consisting of a bike for the mentioned competition “Para Cycling Road H5”. Even though there are many options in the market available for adults, there are no such bikes for children and thus we are interested in the development of a product for them. Team Canada is interested in training children to become future sport stars and needs our help to manufacture the bike they need to get trained. We would like to take the following into account for its design, 1. We need the product to be safe and comfortable for children as they may use them for many hours during a single day. 2. An ergonomic design is important to prevent any injuries from cyclists. 3. We need the bike to be as energy efficient as possible so children can get used to speed race which is needed to be competitive in paralympic competitions. 4. We need it to be made with materials available in Canada so we can use this property for marketing purposes in the future. 5. Of course, the design must be feasible to be manufactured by machine shops available in Canada.
