hand cycle
Crank-pedaled wheelchair alternative
A hand cycle is a human-powered vehicle propelled by arm cranking rather than pedaling.
Most hand cycles are three-wheeled recumbent designs used by people with lower-body disabilities for recreation, exercise, or competitive racing.
The term also applies as a verb: She hand cycles twenty miles every morning.
