We have quite a few and might be selling some off in a month or so.
Check out Mission cycles - we also stock these.

There are links to various manufacturers on our Special Needs page too:

Varna (a canadian company) are a maker who spring to mind, but there are Uk dealers for all sorts of stuff.
Tharg - I always forget how some people never come across stuff I regard as pretty 'normal', having seen a lot of it in action. You simply steer with the crankset, which drives the front wheel - it takes about half a second to master. The upper body strength is where you'll struggle after a while - wheelchair users have already built that up...

In 2006 I saw a group of riders go up over Fleet Moss on hand-cranked recumbents - damn impressive given that Fleet Moss is a very severe climb in the Yorkshire Dales!Tharg2007 said:
