Plans change

Now we won't be writing an SBIR proposal for Pedalong. Redesign is continuing, plans are to build new units starting in August, and at that time prepare an SBIR proposal.

I recently delivered a much-improved version of Pedalong to Northwestern University Professor David Brown. I along with David, and his company – Kineadesign.com – will shortly be writing an SBIR grant proposal requesting funds for further developing, testing, clinically researching, and ultimate commercialization of Pedalong. David is a leading stroke rehab researcher and already has several pedaling devices in his lab.

Independent of this proposal, we are planning to build two more Pedalongs for testing here in Chicago and I am instructing my colleague in Krakow to proceed with building two there. (I have already paid for that work.) If we design for installation on Whirlwind Wheelchair's RoughRiders, we may have worldwide compatibility.
