Gwen is a spirited 5-year-old and a double below-knee amputee who was struggling with traditional cage pedals on her bike. Her dad reached out hoping for a better solution, and after a bit of DIY creativity and a pair of Hustle REMtech Magnetic Pedals, Gwen was riding nearly a full mile around the neighborhood. With specially chosen thin-soled shoes and the perfect magnetic hold, she can now ride safely, pull her feet off when needed, and—most importantly—ride completely on her own.
As she approaches her 5th birthday and adjusts to a new set of prosthetics, Gwen’s newfound independence and confidence on the bike have been a bright spot in a big year of growth. “She’s quick to wave us off when we try to help,” her dad shared. “So having something that lets her feel capable on her own has been a huge confidence boost. I honestly don’t think these could have worked out any better.”
We’re honored to be a small part of her journey.
