40 years ago I ended up in a wheelchair. 4 years ago my shoulders broke down. I had surgery on one shoulder, but on the other I need a protesis. But they don't want to do that immediately, because I am still very limited in my arm movements.
I was not allowed to ride a hand bike anymore. For my operation I bought an e-bike to put in front of the wheelchair.
I enjoyed it very much for 1 year. But soon I had it in my head to build one myself.

I may say that I am quite handy. I can work with polyester, carbon fiber, aluminum, etc. But stainless steel machining and welding I don't know anything about that, and I don't have the materials and machines for that either. After consulting with Didier (a very good friend of mine, who is also in a wheelchair), he wanted to make the stainless steel part for me. He is an artist in that field for me.
We then consulted carefully and thought about what we were going to make. I first went looking for a front fork of a bicycle, but the tough model I wanted was way too long. Then I decided to buy Triple Tree Clampste from a pit bike.
Here you can see what Didier had in mind. He wanted the look of a suspension fork, which of course is not true. More about this later.
