Unbelievable mobility for Rob in Australia

“I live in Australia and purchased my Cougar from Team Hybrid in April 2008. Although i can walk a little bit when i have to i am a bit uncoordinated and times i can have quite a lot of spasticity in my limbs .I use my wheelchair 75% of the time every day. I love to get out and exercise pushing my wheelchair for hours at a time, but i am fed up with putting in so much effort while getting virtually nowhere. While overseas i saw an attachment for a wheelchair that virtually turns it into a motorised trike. I thought “what a great idea” and promised myself to investigate further once i returned home. As soon as I returned home I spent a couple of months scouring the internet for a detachable bike for my wheelchair. I then decided that i not only wanted a motorised trike, but I also wanted a hand-cycle so that I could keep up my much needed exercise. I had come across the Cougar early in my search but dismissed it as an option because i thought it was too expensive. I wanted to have the option of using either the handcycle or power or both together. Everything else that id looked at needed to be modified in some way to achieve this and did not appear to be as sturdy or well made as the Cougar. I eventually came to the decision that the Cougar would be the best option because it had been designed from the ground up with this very configuration in mind, despite the extra cost. You know the saying “you get what you pay for…”, well that’s exactly what i got. The Cougar has been worth every cent that i paid for it, and more…The increase in mobility that it has given me is in my mind – UNBELIEVABLE!!! It is equally at home on the road, footpath, beach (on the hard sand), in shops etc… and has a 90 degree turning circle. Once I had decided to purchase the cougar, it was built and delivered directly to my door in approx 4 weeks even though it had to be sent all the way from the UK. All my communication with Mark at Team Hybrid was via email and his reply was always very timely. Even though i live on the other side of the world the service is great. If something breaks he has a replacement on a plane to Australia the following working day. I recently spent a couple of years overseas travelling the world with just my wheelchair and although I travelled to so many places i was very limited in how far i could go and what i could do and see. Just imagine where I could have gone and what i could have seen if I had my Cougar then. I can only say good things about Team Hybrid!” Rob Lukin – Australia
