Default Electric or automatic clutch

Have a friend who call me to see what I thought about these options since he cut off three fingers on his left hand.

I did some research and told him I would reach out here and see if anyone has any expertise with them.

http://www.pingelonline.com/prodcat/...d-shifters.asp is a commonly used one. I would suggest posting in the adaptive section of the forum as you’d get better response.

I have a co-worker that has a Rekluse clutch on her trike. She loves it in DC traffic.

But I think they still recommend pulling the clutch lever in to shift gears.

Short of a few key automatic conversion, look at the Recluse clutch. It’s basically an automatic clutch, and you never really have to pull it in.

Would converting to a foot clutch and hand shift be an option?
