An eight-gear shifter is intergrated into the Coyote 8. You shift gears by turning the right twist grip on the handle bars through position 1-8. The unique design of the Shimano hub allows you to shift gears while continuing to peddle without exerting force.You can also shift gear when the Coyote 8 is stationary. You always know what gear you are in with the superior gear indicator built into the twist grip. on the Coyote 8 there are no brake levers to contend with, no cable adjustment and no fumbling around trying to adjust the brake blocks. The Coyote 8 comes equipped with a coaster brake, commonly called a back peddle brake. Just push the handle bars away from and the brakes will bring you to a halt. 

The Coyote 8 hand cycle can be connected to most rigid wheelchairs via a docking system that is permanently mounted under the wheelchair. It is lightweight, and adds approximately one kilogram to the weight of the chair. Once connected it takes only seconds to dock on.

The rear of the docking system is bolted to either the back axle or a bar going across the back of the chair. The front is bolted to the bar underneath the front of the seat. Some chairs do not have this bar, Kuschall for example. In this case we tailor a bar to the chair, which is then bolted on using the existing holes.

All of the Team Hybrid hand cycles will transform your wheelchair into a great way of having fun and staying fit. The benefits of hand cycling to health, physical conditioning and quality of life are many. They include: Improved circulation and respiratory functions through active exercise, improved muscle strength, burns up calories for weight control and weight loss, builds up stamina and promotes relationships with friends and family.

Please note we do not recomend folding chairs being used for clip-on handcycles.
