A2B trike

Trike for Disabled Tikes

디자이너 Shabtai Hirshberg는 예루살렘의 한 아동병원을 방문하면서 생각해 낸 자전거 'A2B trike'입니다.

휠체어 겸용으로 아이들이 병원에서 편하게 이동하면서 운동도 할 수 있는 삼륜 자전거입니다.

이 자전거는 가슴쪽을 받칠 수도 있고, 휠체어처럼 휠 장금 장치도 있어 안전에 중점을 두고 있습니다.

핸들은 프레임 안쪽으로 내장 된 케이블로 방향 전환이 가능하답니다.

Conceived after visiting a children’s hospital in Jerusalem, designer Shabtai Hirshberg created the A2B trike so disabled kids could mount and ride by themselves. When a child mounts the trike, stepping on the pedal locks the wheels, enabling the child to literally walk right into a seated position. The chest support keeps the child stabilized, and the whole trike can be customized to each child’s needs.The gear based rear wheel makes it easy for the child to pedal since less force is required to drive the system. The entire steering shaft is cable driven so very small movements translate into larger ones.

If you’re wondering why disabled children are riding trikes, it’s more than a recreational activity. Hospitals around the world use it for rehabilitation, promoting independence, muscle development, and balance.
