A powerchair that travels with a touring trike

Max Jones found a way to keep enjoying motorcycling while addressing the walking required at each destination.

A trike for the road, a chair for the destination

Max Jones’s touring setup combines a converted Honda Goldwing trike with a trailer carrying a WHILL C2. TGA’s June story explains that walking at destinations had become the limiting part of motorcycling, rather than the ride itself.

Max also describes buying a folding C Lite for other journeys. The distinction is revealing: equipment that works in a touring trailer need not be the equipment someone prefers for everyday car or public-transport use.

One mobility problem can have two transport solutions

The story is most useful as an example of separating tasks. Road travel, unloading and moving around a destination place different demands on equipment. Choosing one chair solely because it folds may be less useful than first deciding where and how it will be carried.

A trailer arrangement still needs its own assessment for load, restraint, weather protection and towing compatibility. The photographs show Max’s particular setup; they are not fitting instructions for another vehicle.

Map the handover between vehicle and chair

  1. Before leavingWho secures the unoccupied chair, and which approved restraints are used?
  2. At a stopIs there level space to unload without blocking the road or pavement?
  3. During the visitWhere are transport accessories stored while the chair is in use?
  4. Before returningCan the same loading routine be completed after a tiring day?
