Boss Hoss Cycles will be introducing the Boss Hoss Advantage Trike, a wheelchair-accessible trike specially tailored for wheelchair users.

The Advantage will be unveiled during Daytona Bike Week, Feb. 29-March 8 at the Daytona Speedway in Daytona, Florida. No  pictures yet but here is the burn from Clutch & Chrome news:

"As the industry’s first production model for the disabled rider, the trike has been designed with a wheelchair lift built into the chassis and hidden by the fiberglass truck-style trike body. All the trike’s controls are hand-operable to accommodate individuals that do not have, or have use of, their legs."

The cool thing about this is not just the trike itself. The Advantage is the first American production model trike for wheelchair users. There have been a number of homemades  and one-offs but they are rare.

It looks like someone is listening out there and has realized that wheelers may want something other than the traditional wheels under their butts every once and awhile.
