    OK but pedal wheelchairs are actually useful tools for folks with either limited mobility or in rehab from accidents/surgery.

      I think the comparison still stands. It’s a narrow use case.

      They probably have chain guards. OPs looks… dangerous.

      surely they wouldn’t be able to reach the pedals from where the seat is located? It’s not designed like a bike

      That don’t make sense, with limited mobility it is more difficult to move a Wheelchair with pedals than walking, maybe with a cane or walker.

        There’s all kinds of injuries or fatigue symptoms that may mean you can move your legs and sit, but you cannot stand…

        On a flat surface, bikes expend less energy to use than walking. This actually makes total sense. Biking is also a kinder motion on joins than walking which is actually quite hard on knees.

          Not the same a bike in the plane street than a wheelchair on the sidewalk with borders on the beginning and end, often problematic for people in wheelchairs in cities with too much obstacles for them.

        thankfully it doesn’t need to make sense to you to be useful. they exist and are used by people with limited mobility

        They should add bicycle pedals to a walker.
