Frequently Asked Questions

Weight is a big factor when talking about hill climbing. Realistically, don't think of The Rig as a Mountain Climber, think of it more as a back road adventurer. Climbing a 15% incline with 225lbs can start to overheat the motor in about 10 minutes. BUT on gentle slopes or flat ground the rig can roll around all day long.

The Rig does have manual steering and manual brakes. It does require upper body strength and hand strength to maneuver. Just about as much strength as it takes to operate a normal pedal bike. Also, coordinating the throttle, brakes, and steering does require full cognitive and decision making ability.

Right now we can do small customization like moving the throttle from the left handle to the right handle if needed. Since this is ‘Not a Wheelchair’ any other ‘accessible modifications’ cant be performed by us.

No. The steering and breaking system on The Rig is all manual. Adding powered steering and powered braking is not possible. At some point in the future though, we do hope to create an even more accessible ‘Not a Wheelchair’.

We currently only ship to the USA and Canada. International shipping would double the price of the bike. And make it not cost effective. Bike manufacturers should exist in every country though. Reach out to a local bike manufacturer and see what they can come up with for you.

No. There is no water protection inside the electronics. The motor, and motor controller (Little silver box) need to stay 100% dry.

Email is the best way! We respond to most emails within 24 hours.

Keep in mind that The Rig is made from Bike parts, and comes with the maintenance that any bike would have. Keep a small tire pump with you, small tool kit, and a tire patch kit. Most importantly, wear a helmet, and use the buddy system.

A Rig with 2 batteries and full suspension weighs 130lbs. (59kg)

A Rig with 1 battery and full suspension weighs 120lbs. (54kg)

The safe answer is No. Our rig has manual steering that requires the use of both arms. And more importantly, The Rig has manual brakes. Without the access to both front and rear brakes, the bike would be unsafe to drive. It is not recommended to operate with just one arm or one hand.

No. The Rig is designed so that the driver controls everything. It would be unsafe to add a 2nd rider or passenger.

The easiest and best way to travel with the Rig is if you have a truck, and can load it into the truck bed. Another good option is a trailer, or a basket carrier hitch attachment.

The Rig does not break down any smaller so it will not fit into smaller vehicles. The handlebars and back of the seat can fold down to be able to load into the back of SUVs and larger vehicles.
