Are you passionate about biking but face challenges due to an upper limb difference?
Form5 is seeking motivated individuals to participate in the second round of large-scale testing for our innovative Bike Arm Adapter—a device designed to help individuals with upper limb differences.
What is the Bike Arm Adapter?
The Bike Arm Adapter is an assistive device that attaches to a bicycle handlebar, allowing individuals with an upper limb difference or amputation (below the elbow) to ride comfortably and safely. The adapter includes a socket where the rider’s limb is inserted, without the need for fastening, ensuring both flexibility and security while biking.
Who Can Apply?
We are looking for individuals who:
- Are at least 6 years old
- Have an upper limb difference or amputation below the elbow
- Are motivated to participate in product testing and development
Testing Expectations
Participants will be required to:
- Complete four rides per month (two rides longer than 30 minutes and two rides under 30 minutes)
- Complete online surveys after each ride
- Participate in interviews and focus groups to share feedback
- Upon successful completion of testing, participants can keep their Bike Arm Adapter!
Important Dates
Testing Period: May–October 2025
Application Deadline: June 2025
