It should be awesome on trails and such. Im hurting a lot so I figured I should
get it now while Im still able to enjoy it. The next one Im going to buy is a
handcycle with electric backup. Next year I might sell my firefly and get the
other one. I found out the attachable cycles are better for me because I don't
have to transfer and take a chance on skin breakdown. I can use it a lot more
this way. I just keep them in the garage and just roll out there, hook up and
go.........takes about 2 minutes to hook up. its really cool some of the
devices they have for people, its a shame they cost so much......but at this
point ive realized life is short and you cant take anything with you when you
go.

Those are cool Ron, wish I would have tried those early in my quad years, but
never got good enough in a manual chair except to move around in level stores
while shopping, been in a powerchair for over 18 years now. I bet you could
really enjoy that on trails . Dan H***

I have been using my rio dragonfly handcycle since 2010, so I decided to
upgrade and get the electric powered rio firefly. I found one never used on
ebay for 1500.00 dollars shipped. It looks great, attaches to the front of a
manual chair and has a speedometer and odometer, capable of speeds of 12mph.
Got a buddy coming to help me get it fitted to my chair tomorrow. Im expecting
it to really be a blast once everything is worked out. My quad hands make it
tricky to use a standard bike brake, but Im going to slowly adapt it. Rio
mobility really makes good stuff, Ive put opver 1000 miles on my rio dragonfly
with virtually no problems except chain adjustment, worn tire and my c5 grips
wore out the Velcro.
