A Look at the Accessible Cycle Prototype

By Omair Ahmad | Director - NOWPDP

After many weeks of search for viable partners to develop prototype solutions, and subsequent failure, we decided to focus on its in-house resources to replicate the solution we had striven to achieve and our well-wishers endeavor to support. 

 

Our resident superstar - Imran - himself a post-polio success story, took the reins of recreating a model and despite the vagaries of weather, ill-health, tense inner-city situations, and material shortage he managed to roll out a commendable solution. As of July, we have successfully cobbled together 4 cycles - with a one man army and hope that this will give the impetus for us to produce many more, with more resources and many more successes associated with this cycle. 

 

Like the Model T by Ford, at its inception, we hope our take on the "trike" will be at the fulcrum of a generation of life altering experiences for a individuals that continue to be sidelined by the dogmatism of those in the driving seat. 

 

The video gives a glimpse into the life of our prototype replicator - Imran - and what benefits the cycle entails, we look forward to our supporters rallying around and helping us deliver more success.

 

Warm regards,

-Team NOWPDP
