He has no use of his legs so would need something that is only, or can be fitted with hand controls. He also would need to have a configuration to which he could mount or carry his wheelchair (16#) with him. It looks like a trike would most likely be the ticket, but I'm not well versed on the various layouts and/or modifications that can be done with the various models of trikes. But then I know we have some of you who are well versed in this area.
