Push brakes and paddle shifters on ICE Sprint 26
We are putting together a trike for a gentleman with a neurological condition that inhibits "pulling" action with his hands.
He has settled on an ICE Sprint 26 recumbent trike and we have determined a configuration that will allow him to operate his trike with "pushing" actions.
The pictures show a prototype solution. We intend to mount the brake levers backwards so they operate with pushes rather than pulls. Trigger shifters mounted upside down and on the "wrong" side allow the paddles of the shifters to be actuated with pushing action using the palms of his hands.
The cost to configure this is nominal.

Front suspension non-interchangeability with other Catrike recumbent trike models, and update on Dumont full-suspension rollout timing.
ICE is now producing an adapter to allow top-bags to be mounted above the wheel of 26" rear suspension recumbent trikes. Other uses include electric-assist battery mounting.
