Welcome to Dreamfit!

Have you got a disability or do you know someone that does? Are there activities you thought would never be possible?

In 2003, a T6 paraplegic told me if he had one wish, it would be to ride a motorcycle again. I took on a personal challenge to make this dream come true. Since then I have successfully designed and built a motorcycle that can be ridden without needing to use your legs. This dream is now a reality.

Dreamfit's aim is to provide innovative recreation and leisure equipment for people with disabilities, enabling them to participate in activities they never dreamt possible.
