Motorcycle Innovation Helps Veteran

Lee Spring Engineering recently worked with a supplier of an innovative product to help motorcycle enthusiasts enjoy riding even when a physical disability would otherwise make it difficult or even impossible.

Watch this video to learn how a U.S.Veteran, injured while on active service, continues to enjoy motorcycling. Watch video Chopper Design created the innovative product called LegUp LandinGear incorporating Lee Spring torsion springs. The new concept called 'Leg-Up' landing gear was designed to help disabled riders or those with knee or hip problems, to be able to support a heavy motor bicycle at slower speeds. A set of small wheels will automatically retract and deploy as the machine slows down, at speeds below 10 miles, if the rider is unable to do this for himself. This is just one of the many ways in which Lee Spring products and design expertise can help engineers to develop innovative solutions to meet vital needs.
