this one doesn't. It attaches to a manual chair for outside usage. much easier 
on shoulders than pushing on uneven pavement. if you are looking for an indoor 
unit that will move your legs look at a sci fit bike

Guys I currently have been using my manual attachable handcycle for five years. 
Have put approximately 1500 miles on it with only two chain adjustments and 
replacement of one front tire. I have also had to rebuild my c5 grips three 
times over the five years. I learned that the part of the c5 handgrip you put 
your hand in is a rollerblade wristguard which can be bought on ebay. the other 
parts of the c5 grip can be interchanged with your new wristguard and inable 
you to make them like new for 25.00 instead of the 300 cost of a new set.


This year I completed at least 30 miles a month and had problems with one 
elbow and had to stick to level surfaces in order to heal. I was looking on 
the rio mobility website and they have came out with a new attachable bike 
that has power when you need it that can be adjusted. Then I can get my 
workout but not get hurt when I encounter a big hill or want to go further out 
to a destination. The price is crazy for 2395.00. I paid 1100.00 for my manual 
version of the rio dragonfly, but it was so worth it. Once you get the clamps 
put on your chair and get everything adjusted getting it on and off takes 
about a minute by myself. I stay in my chair with my standard wheelchair 
cushion which is great.


here is a picture of the electric version I plan to purchase in spring.tell me
