I have a friend who is an old rider, but is now in a wheelchair (un related).
He mentioned interest in a Boss Hoss Trike (he likes the idea of having a 502 haha)
His only concern is that he can get on it, and ride it .. but since there is nowhere to put his wheelchair he would essentially be stuck on it until he returns home.
Wondering if anyone here knew of suggestions of similar trikes, but with some form of a cargo area for the wheelchair? Or maybe a trike he can just roll his wheelchair right onto it, and lock into place?
or any other options? Thank you.

Here's a pic of a rig I saw a couple years ago, guy had no use of his legs. Everything was hand control, his wheelchair had quick release wheel, no frills and folded up small. He hoisted himself into the seat, took the chair apart and put it in the rear compartment, The reverse when got to where he was going. Had a lady with him who let him do his thing. He needed no help and refused any offer. Your friend should look into a chair like that and then the bike to accomodate both.

Tell your buddy to look at the Can-Am Spyders. There are numerous handicapped/disabled riders who have adapted their Can-Am Spyders to carry their wheel chairs with them plus with the Spyder you don't eve have to hold it up when at a stop sign...It's amazing how they adapt for the paraplegics!! Really cool to see them riding!!!
+1 there is a guy that rides around my area that has a chair rack on the back of his can-am.
