Happy 'Wee' Harry (Summer 2004)

[Press release]
There was no stopping little Harry Stratton once he got his hands on this Team Hybrid 'Viper' power cycle at the Edinburgh leg of the 2004 Mobility Roadshow.

Indeed his Dad could only just keep pace. Harry’s test drive demonstrated that this was definitely the transport for him and he now has his own ‘Tetra Viper’ power cycle.

At four and a half, Harry’s fingers were too small to operate the breaks so Team Hybrid has fitted bespoke handle bars that allow brake action using his arm.

“I love my power cycle because I can go up the hill at my house to play with my friends,” said Harry who has Spina Bifida.

“I have also been across the grassy bits in Drumpellier Park, which is near my house, for the first time all by myself and I was chasing a dog and everyone laughed.”

Harry’s Mum, Anna is also delighted with Harry’s new transport. “The Roadshow was an excellent opportunity to assess all the options. Now we have a very happy wee Harry.”
