On May 9, 2015 Kevin Nikolich, our His Wheels International design engineer met with Ayuba Gufwan in Grand Rapids Michigan. Ayuba is from Nigeria and part of Beautiful Gates/Wheelchairs for Nigeria. The purpose of the meeting was to deliver a HWI trike and discuss how HWI could partner with Wheelchairs for Nigeria, assisting with trike design related issues.

Alice was not able to attend the meeting but talked with Ayuba. His opening greeting was, “Thanks for your vision.” Truth be told, Ayuba was the one who inspired the HWI trike Di-Vision.

Today His Wheels enters the next chapter of our journey. We have four young men helping us move out of our office. HWI will move into a 10×25 foot Storage Unit. We have already begun to set it up as a showroom. All we need will fit nicely into our new climate controlled space. We have no regrets as we move. Our 4 years at our building has allowed us to do so many things. In the process we at HWI have found that our trike and university trike consortium is our unique nitch and strength.

Our main contact will remain unchanged:

This update is from January 31, 2014. “ONU His Wheels Team has been making some progress after our long break.
Over the past 2 weeks, Ben and Britny have met a few times to take measurements of the trike to see where parts have room to be placed (i.e. motors, batteries, wiring, circuit board), and have designed a hopefully simple design for these. We have detached the hand pedals and the chain to free up the front end and are making plans to cut the front end soon to transform this into a caster wheel.
