Riding a TG or Freewheeler with a constrained hip joint

[GTK]

Riding buddy has to sell two wheeler because of nature of past hip surgeries. Want to know if any forum members have a constrained hip implant and are riding a HD trike. This has to do with exceeding range of motion getting on and off and seating position of hip.

Constrained hip is one that is put in due to previous dislocations. These hips have a limited range of motion. Exceeding this ROM can damage and loosen implant.

Hope your buddy is progressing well

Perhaps a visit to a dealer (and seek Doctor's advice for the OK) to see if he could mount/dismount the trike bike without pain.

Got to look after the new implant first and foremost.

Good luck to your buddy,

Jon.

See the current thread under Harley Tri-Glide entitled:

Trike Mid Step

This might be an option...don’t know if it will fit a Freewheeler. You might contact Kevin at DK Customs to inquire.. he sells them.
