Custom Sidecar

This is a custom sidecar we built for Duane in San Antonio. Duane is a disabled Vet who is confined to a powerchair. He hadn't ridden his bike in over two years. We built everything from scratch from the ground up. With the help of Dennis Ricketts and Josh Ricketts we made Duanes dream of riding again a reality. Basically there is an electric winch that operates the tailgate. He rides the powerchair in and closes the ramp. Then hops over to the saddle and off he goes. When he gets to his destination he hops back in the chair and he is mobile again. This was a interesting project to say the least. But we hold Veterans and Service members in the highest regard. It was all worth it to see the smile on his face from being back in the wind.
