ISCI Hand Brake for '21 Spyder RT - Is it worth the money?
Sorry if there's another thread open but I couldn't find one when I searched.
Does anyone have the hand brake installed on their 2020+ Spyder RT, and if so, is it a game changer and worth the money? Or is it just an add-on that is convenient but not really necessary?
Thanks.

We had installed one on our 2014 RT. It was nice for when I had my feet on the hiway bars, but not really needed. We did not install one on our 2020 and 2021 RT's. We also found no need for hiway bars on these as there is so much more room on the 2020+ RT's.

NEXUS now has a 2020 or newer Spyder with his design hand brake set up...
There was a post somewhere on here showing it, BUT it now eludes me????
Maybe he'll see this post and step up or someone else can find it...

Of course we don't know your situation of your right foot or leg but if you have no problems with either than I would not buy it.

Yes, as others have said above, only you can make the call as to whether it is good value to YOU, QuickDraw.
As a very tall rider, I came close to buying one as I had great difficulty accessing the footbrake on my ‘21RT quickly with my long legs and size 15s. I ended up getting a taller seat and modifying the brake pedal. Others have installed one as they have right foot/leg issues, so it is of great value to them. Is it of value if you don’t have a specific issue? Not in my opinion. You will soon get used to using only your footbrake. I never reach for a handlebar brake any more.

Nothing wrong with my legs or feet. The back however is a different story. I just wanted to see if anyone thought it would be an improvement. I've visited many sites and videos where people claim it's a game changer. It's very expensive and I was curious what the general consensus was.
