Another concept aimed at allowing the rider to generate speed. The ability to pump and gain momentum is fundemental in all extreme sports. This concept would allow the rider to compress the suspension while riding to manipulate their speed on the ramps. The lever connects to the base of the strut assembly and pivots off the top wheelchairs frame. As the lever is pushed forward, the force is amplified and compresses the spring and strut. This pulls the frame and the rider lower, shifting the weight downwards. When done on the ramps this weight shift will increase the riders momentum and allow for a burst of speed. The levers handle would be designed to sit lower than the seating side plates so there is no obstruction to the user.
