or fully fund your new handcycle
The Kelly Brush Foundation empowers people with spinal cord injuries to stay active by awarding grants that make adaptive sports and recreation possible. Whether someone is carving down a ski slope or cruising a bike path, KBF helps them feel the rush of movement, connect with others, and see their disability fade into the background. https://kellybrushfoundation.org/about-us/
Triumph FoundationServing children, adults, and veterans across Southern California, the Triumph Foundation inspires people with spinal cord injuries or disorders to keep pushing forward. From the first days after injury through every stage of life, Triumph provides equipment, resources, and a strong community network so each person can “triumph” over new challenges and live fully. https://triumph-foundation.org/
Spinal Cord Opportunities for Rehabilitation Endowment (SCORE)SCORE supports young athletes whose spinal cord injuries came from sports or recreation. By covering large out-of-pocket expenses—advanced medical care, home modifications, accessible vehicles, and more—SCORE accelerates rehabilitation and paves the way to independent living and an active future. http://scorefund.org/
Getting Back UpGetting Back Up improves quality of life for people with spinal cord injuries by funding what insurance often won’t: intensive exercise-based recovery programs and adaptive gear that restores mobility and independence. Their grants help recipients move, train, and thrive beyond the limits of their injury. https://www.gettingbackup.org/apply/
Challenged Athletes FoundationCAF’s equipment-grant track can be used specifically to purchase an adaptive handcycle. In your application you list the Freedom Ryder model you want, and—if approved—CAF pays the vendor directly, wiping out most or all of the cost you would otherwise face. The same program also reimburses related training or race expenses, so you can get rolling and stay active without the financial roadblock. https://www.challengedathletes.org/programs/grants-2/
Victoria Victoria’sThrough its Victory Scholarships, this foundation pays vendors and service providers directly for four kinds of needs: mobility or adaptive equipment, activity-based recovery training, caregiver support, and home or vehicle accessibility upgrades. The program gives individuals with mobility-related disabilities practical, targeted funding that turns everyday independence into a personal “victory.” https://victoriasvictory.org/scholarships
We now offer 24/month 0% APR financing through Affirm for those who qualify.

“When I lost my mobility due to injuries I sustained in the Air Force, I felt lost and isolated. So many activities I had participated in previously were now denied to me. Along with many other things, I could no longer ride a traditional bicycle, or participate on bike rides with my family and friends.
The E-1 handcycle from FreedomRyder has changed all of that! It is the mobility aid that has restored my freedom! Since receiving it in May of 2024, I have put more than 2300 miles on it, and lost 45 pounds through a healthy diet and riding the handcycle! I am able to ride with family and friends again, and get out and explore different trails while enjoying the great outdoors.
Thank you Freedom Ryder!”

Anyone who propels primarily with their arms: amputee riders, injured veterans, adaptive athletes, and wheelchair users who simply want exercise and independence.
Yes. The bottom bracket adjusts both horizontally and vertically to accommodate many heights and sizes. We can recommend specific fit instructions in a fitting call upon request.
This varies greatly depending on what level of assist you’re using as well as how much you use pure throttle. If you’re riding with heavy levels of assist it’s safe to assume you’ll get about 20 miles of battery. If you lightly use the assistance and primarily rely on your own arm-power, some people have reported getting over 100 miles out of a charge. Of course, if you use no battery at all then you can ride forever!
Yes! We recommend raising your assist levels to 4-5 when climbing any hills. If it’s an especially steep hill, riders can use their throttle button to get them up the final hump and over to the other side.
In general, wheelchair users who can propel themselves on level ground in a standard wheelchair can expect to ride our handcycles. The electric assist makes it quite easy for anyone to slowly build the strength required to ride. If you have any particular circumstances, feel free to let us know in a call and we’ll try and help you find a solution.
The E1 electric handcycle is $6350. We offer special 12/month financing through Affirm for those who qualify. Additionally, for veterans we can help you get in touch with the correct VA to see if you qualify.
This Handcycle changed my life!
