Handicap Accessible Motorcycle Displayed At Veterans Wheelchair Games In Denver

The Mobility Conquest handicap accessible motorcycle will make its first Colorado appearance July 4-9 at the National Veterans Wheelchair Games in Denver. These games represent the biggest disabled sports competition in the world.

Adaptive AutoMobility of Denver and Colorado Springs is the only dealer for the Conquest mobility motorcycle. The owner, Kevin Durban will be in attendance for the games.

“We are excited to participate and sponsor the Veterans Wheelchair Games,” Mark Allen Roberts of Mobility Conquest said. “We look forward to helping our service men and women reconnect with their passion for riding motorcycles. Our focus is to help them get on the road again in our Conquest Motorcycle, designed for people with physical challenges from the waist down to drive a motorcycle while in their wheelchair.”

Mobility Conquest is committed to offering disabled people with a love of the open road an ability to reconnect with the sport. Entering a Mobility Conquest handicap accessible motorcycle is simple and safe because the driver doesn’t have to leave their wheelchair. These accessible trikes have six forward gears and a BMW engine. Acceleration is as fast as 0 to 60 in only 7.6 seconds.

In addition to the mechanical aspects of these handicapped motorcycles, they can easily accommodate a passenger and their specific disabled needs. The front and rear suspension has been engineered to make the trike handle and drive just like an original.

Accessible Mobility Conquest motorcycles were selected to participate in the opening ceremonies of the National Veterans Wheelchair Games, and will be rode by veteran biker CJ Snider of Denver, CO. Snider will also help out in an air rifles booth, as well as ride the handicap motorcycle conversion in the opening parade.

Snider is the perfect example of someone who benefits from an accessible motorcycle. She enjoyed motorcycle riding until an injury made her quesiton if she would be able to do it again. She tried custom built accessible trikes, but each had its drawbacks. The accessible motorcycle from Mobility Conquest allows the rider to enter while sitting in their mobility device.

“This was a very comfortable ride,” Snider said. “I would definitely not mind owning one. The owner of the bike let me ride in circles around the parking lot. I told him I was getting dizzy, so we took it out for a ride.”

The National Veteran Wheelchair Games is the biggest annual wheelchair athletics competition on the planet. Some of the sports include rugby, hand cycling, basketball, softball, and more. Kids can even participate during “Kids Day.” During this time, young people who are disabled can meet the athletes who participate in the games.

All told, this event will be a fun and exciting time for all who are involved. The products and abilities which will be on display provide hope for thousands of disabled veterans.
