Since 4 year old Harry Stratton received his Viper he has taken it everywhere. His mum Anna said, “It has opened up a whole new world for him and is now able to do things that have not been possible before. He has chased dogs in a country park while flying a kite, and even went off road around Loch Lomond going right up to the pebbled shores. He loves the freedom it has given him and would be lost without it.” Harry’s Viper is capable of very fine control and has a top speed of 2.5 mph, and because his hands are so small a bespoke handle bar was made to enable him to brake. When indoors the Viper detaches in seconds leaving him sitting in his wheelchair as normal. Harry who has Spina Bifida is only 4 years old and his little hands were to small to operate the brakes so a set of Tetra Bars were made up allowing Harry to stop safely using arm action. “I love my power cycle because I can go up the hill at my house to play with my friends, said Harry, I have also been across the grassy bits at Drumpellier Park which is near my house,for the first time all by myself and I was chasing a dog and everyone laughed.”
