handbike
Crank with arms
A handbike is a human-powered vehicle propelled by the arms rather than the legs, typically used by people with lower-body disabilities.
The rider sits in a recumbent position and turns hand cranks connected to the front wheel.
Handbikes range from recreational models to high-performance racing versions used in Paralympic cycling events.
