I just wanted you to know how much I am enjoying my dragonfly.  I became a quad 18 years ago when I was 56. Heretofore, I was only able to get aerobic exercise by pushing my chair.  The unit allows me to become a trike without having to transfer.  The push-pull crank is great upper body exercise and I am now able to "bike" with my wife in her recumbent. Rougher terrain is so much easier to traverse which has extended my destination options.  Thanks for making it possible.

We have received our order, have assembled, and test drove it. My daughter is absolutely in love and the neighbors are in awe. I cannot thank you enough for this awesome creation. If there is a place that I can leave a review and/or comment about this device, I feel that I need to praise you publicly for this because it is so awesome!
