My first attention to Handmaster drives occured during my visit of REHA 94 - international exhibition of orthopedic aids in Karlsruhe in Germany. As an ex - engineer, I immediately found out that this kind of drive will be an ideal aid for easier driving in open areas, on slopes, sand, rough terrains and all other obstacles to free moving with a wheelchair. For 27 years I am paraplegic. During this long period of time using a wheelchair, deformations of my hand and finger bones rapidly increased. Because of this, I had many more operations, and independent enjoyment of nature was nearly impossible. Using the Handmaster driving system, especially because of the shape and driving angles of the handles, I overcame all previous problems. I can drive myself without any problems and even more: Today I can drive myself on grounds which were unreachable even when I was much younger and stronger, and all these efforts are, for my wounded body, very healthy therapy !

I am extremely grateful to the company MYCYCLE for the development of such a worldwide, incomparable driving system which is, for sure, one of the best existing aids for disabled people invented in these days.
