Super rad. Anything to help people go places they otherwise wouldn't be able to.

That being said, I'm kinda more partial to the adaptive mountain bikes like the Sport-ONs[1]. Two wheels in front, one powered wheel in back, and a more "aggressive", sporty posture for the rider. Clearly a different market and twice the price as the Rig. It seems to me that the Rig could be a lot more comfortable and competent with some changes.

Jeremy P. McGhee[2] seems to be a reseller and booster of them.

Here's a video of him and another guy riding them along with a friend of mine (the guy on 2 wheels).

The Rig with it's capability for cargo, reminds me of an industrial bike like a Worksman[4].
