    i didn't know they was a big difference between the two. i was thinking above the knee would be better as the knee would be equal to the other one. i still have the top knuckle part of knee because i have had a hip replacement and the long stem metal into my bone, so they couldn't get it off higher. i think i'm just kind of in a panic wanting to ride again and it's not looking good. sure would like a right side tank shifter setup for a trike. i gotta learn to walk on this thing first.

    If you're getting a trike and the Pingle shifter, your troubles are over. You said that you just got the leg. Well, it takes some time to get your footing so to speak. I got my leg in July and didn't/couldn't ride till the end of the year and that was a bit limited. By the following spring, I was riding my RoadKing anywhere I pleased.

    It's going to take a bit of practice, and rehab to walk much less anything else. As you acclimate yourself to the new leg and you strengthen whatever needs strengthening up and get stretched out whatever needs stretching through whatever exercises and rehab you may have. Then you will be able to throw your leg over the bike and ride. You don't have to hold it up, you just sit on it and ride and you'll be able to figure out a method to get on and sit on it. You still have your arms and that's what you'll need more than your left leg to be able to ride a trike.

    I gotta say (and hope i don't offend anyone) I have a hard time getting on and off my trike ... and I have both legs ... gonna try the method in the vid ... I do have bad knees ... I find the trike harder, because it doesn't lean ... I'm getting tired of the grab the pant chicken dance ... gonna try the method in the vid ... I have soooooo much respect for you guys that "look for solutions rather than complain about what they can't do"

    (thanks to wheels for the delicate way to put it)

    Again ... hope I didn't offed ... I have a way of chewing on my toes

    I've had double hip replacements, and anyone has had one, know you can abuse a side or awkward movement, and a possible dislocation could occur, from experience, that is way painful and a trip to ER. That's one of those don't ask me things. I can mount my Road Smith by throwing my right leg up straight and 'over the seat', I have the back rest so over that is not an option. A dismount is done with the left foot, and a chicken dance backwards as someone put it. I recently did a Traxxion spring upgrade in the front forks, this raised the front almost 1.5", that was no help in mounting the beast. I continue to explore different ways to do that.

    Hi, I have installed the Trike Mid-Step on a customers trike because he had to pull a step stool out of his trunk. When I was done his wife was able to get on with ease and told him to throw the step stool away. She had hip problems and was so happy with it. This is a picture of them on their trike. Thanks Tom

    I'm just the opposite (right above knee) and I went with a trike as well. What I do is reach down and grab my right ankle with my right hand the handle bar with my left hand and then lift the leg high enough to clear and then pivot on my left foot and swing the leg over.
    When I first got a trike I tried different methods but this seems to work the best for me.

    As far as keeping your prosthetic foot on the flooboard I had posted a pic in reply to one of your questions on another thread, works for me.

    You know ... the bottom line ... we all figure out what it is we have to do to ride ... whatever our personal issues are ... we all wanna be in the saddle .. you gotta love that ... and I am glad of one other thing ... I've read lots of threads about this same thing, all the titles sound dirty ... "mounting the beast" ... "mounting the trike" ... etc,

    This one doesn't ... "getting on and off" ... wait ... yes it does
