Handy capeable

[Roger]

I know this question maybe a little early but figured i would ask because we spyderlovers can be pretty clever. Has anyone designed plans or already figured out how to strap a wheelchair to the new RT for our handicapeable riders. :chat:

I think the RT will be a little tougher to do than the RS. too much protruding from the RT. The only solution I see now is the rear mount via Racketdave , or carry it in a trailer.

I am rethinking my current chair holder setup to something different for my spyder.

Seems like having a 2" reciever hitch like what is available from MMG would work great for this - You can set up something similar to a reciever hitch bicycle carrier......

Ya that should work

I had the same concerns.....that the luggage and the stepped seat could be a difficulty. Not much way to move about, reach, or adjust your position on the RT. Seeing what people have accomplished, though, where there's a will, there's a way, even if the RT is not as adaptable as the GS/RS.

im working on putting my chair right beside the driver seat. kind of sitting on a small permanent skeleton frame.

MMG welded/bolted a carrier along the left side of their hitch for me. I wheel up, jump onto the bike, turn sideways and fold up the wheelchair and slip it in the rack. With the RT, you'd have to extend the mount outward to clear the saddlebag.

I had to get the mirror extentions as the chair blocked the left mirror's view

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Looks like it came from the factory that way!

What about something like the Surfboard Racks.

This wheelchair rack woul accomodate the new RT's. The mounting arms might need to be lengthened to clear the saddle box.
