Persons with disabilities are often times difficult to ride a motorcycle, especially when the body is defective is the waist down. To get around physical limitations, a number of innovations in two-wheel motor vehicles can be driven by persons with disabilities continue to be developed.
Wheelchair Motorcycle Conquest, for example, is a three-wheeled motorcycle that allows the disabled to drive like a normal person. As quoted page Auto Conquest that was launched in early July 2010, the vehicle is designed specifically for the disabled in a wheelchair.
The motorcycle was designed in such a way that allows users to rise to the motor. In the back of the vehicle, there is a door into place and out of the driver.
The door serves as a ramp for wheelchair user can ride the bike through the climb. Therefore, these motors do not have a seat (seat) because there has been a wheelchair which is used as a substitute for handicapped seating.
Thus, the driver does not have to come down from his wheelchair to ride motorcycle stylist who designed it. Wheelchair Conquest Motorcycle claimed no less with the big motor acceleration due to reach 100 kilometers per hour in 7.6 seconds.
Kitchen pacunya using BMW engine capacity of 1170 cc with a maximum speed of 170 kilometers per hour. Six-speed transmission. Unfortunately, the motor that has passed the safety test drive according to prevailing standards in the United States (U.S.), it can only be found in Los Angeles, USA.
However, persons with disabilities in the country need not worry can not ride a motorcycle. The reason, some children are able to innovate the country despite using a smaller cc capacity.
Making motorcycle specifically for the disabled there is not a standard stock. However, a number of modifications motorcycle maker has its own standards based on comfort, safety, and easily operated by the rider.
One of the local innovators who modifies motorcycles to people with disabilities is Topo Goedel Atmodjo. Since 1998, the manager of Custom Tauco workshop, Jakarta, was memofidikasi special motor for the disabled.
Handled motorcycle targeting two types, namely motor duck manual and automatic transmission. "But I am more inclined to use his bike as easy to operate automatically by the user," said Topo.
Another reason put forward Toto motor automatic transmission is suitable for the disabled. Compare with duck motorcycle manual transmission so it will be difficult for users, especially those who suffered paralysis or amputation in the foot.
Motor automatic, continued Topo, a basic framework in doing that particular motor. After selecting the motor, the next stage by Toto is to establish communication and see the physical condition of prospective users.
Based from there, Topo conduct small-scale research. After that, he began to make design and specification of automatic motor on a piece of paper. Wheels Three-coretannya strikeout became basic references in modifying the motor.
"A lot of people with disabilities who memunyai spirit of independent living. It is a source of inspiration when I want to draw a sketch, "Topo said. For example, he modified the Yamaha Mio into three-wheeled motorcycle (trike) for the disabled leg.
In the manufacture of motor modifi cation, the Topo using local materials so the production cost affordable. For three-wheeled motorcycle that can go on smoothly, he was then made on the rear-wheel drive system by making improvements as part (shaft) on the wheel.
Inasmuch as the factory standard size, Topo create a new axle designed specifically to be able to move the two wheels at the rear. The size of the wheel shaft is longer than the standard size, namely 95 inches with a width of 1.5 meters.
Mio rear axle pushed back by about 20 centimeters. The goal for the rear wheels to move according to its function. Topo describes as its wheels are applied in order to move the drive wheels from the middle to the right side.
As a result, only one wheel, namely the right side, which moves. Motion tire on the left following the rotation of the wheel by adding kelahar sitting.
"If the two wheels (rear) can be equally rotates, it will potentially overturned because it is not balanced when making turns," explained the man born in Solo, February 8, 1975, it.
Thus, the construction of the wheels that move is considered safe for use in conditions of normal use. That is, not used for racing-kebutan. Especially with the use shockbrecker (spring), double that placed in the back, making the bike more stable.
Simply use the original spring Mio to be more frugal. As a sweetener, Topo add a protective roof of the rear wheel of 0.8 mm galvanized plate.
Raw materials are measured and cut as necessary in accordance with the needs, then welded to a solid. "The system of welding must be done carefully so as not to damage the drive system," he said.
The same way he did when designing the 1,000 cc BMW motorcycles made tricycle. Pemesannya is an official traffic accident that resulted in the paralyzed leg.
Currently, the motor was still under construction. Rims and tires used BMW cars 15 inches.
Topo confirmed that the design is purely derived from his very own design and did not cheat others. He also hoped that innovation can be a valuable contribution to persons with disabilities in the country.
