Sun HT-3 SX Hand Trike

Whether you have a disability or are looking for a great way to get an upper body workout a hand cycle is a great way to get around. Until now they have been very expensive and not widely available.

When Sun told us that they were coming out with an affordable hand trike we were extremely excited, so we made sure we got the first batch. The new Sun HT-3 Hand Trike is very comfortable and adjustable, and still has room for modifications.

The HT-3 comes stock with a 3-speed internal geared hub, but could easily be upgraded with an 8 speed Nexus or even a Rohloff 14-speed. It would even be easy to add a Schlumpf to the hand cranks.

Initial supplies are limited, so if you are interested let us know.
