Second Chance – Wheelchair Accessible Sidecar – Rider
Pepe was an avid motorcyclist and especially a tinker.
By an accident he lost both his legs in November 2006. On September 2, 2007, a number of friends united to build “something” for Pepe.
With the help of these and more friends, it was possible for Pepe to ride a motorcycle on his Segunda Oportunidad (second chance).
On July 5, 2009 almost 2 years later the Wheelchair Accessible Sidecar was delivered.
From Wheelchair Van to Freedom
How does he get on the bike?
Take a look at the build
In the following video, a fabricator is busy building the custom sidecar for Pepe. Attaching the sidecar to an Intruder 1400 was the birth of Pepe’s Segunda Oportunidad.

Hi Michael, I researched the value of a 1984 Chevy Corvette, and they appear to be worth between $20,000 – $40,000, obviously this depends on the condition of the vehicle.
I would just like to let you know that you can purchase a wheelchair accessible sidecar for under $10,000 ready to go: https://www.abilitymotorcycles.com/product/dmc-sidecars-wheelchair-accessible-sidecar-rig
Or even under $5,000 for this one: https://www.abilitymotorcycles.com/product/motorcycle-handicap-sidecar-universal-fits-all-models
Just letting you know there are options that may provide a sidecar solution that allows you to keep your Corvette, however if there are any fabricators out there willing to manufacture a sidecar to Michael’s requirements, I encourage you to reply to Michael’s comment. This is a generous offer for a very worthy cause. Good luck Michael. Ride Safe.
Hi Michael, I have forwarded your offer/request to the fabricator that did the work for my daughter: https://www.abilitymotorcycles.com/shanniahs-story-from-hiring-to-building-a-wheelchair-accessible-sidecar
I will let you know if Brendon is interested in your offer/request. 🙂

Hi Mike, I heard back from the fabricator, Brendon said he can only do paid jobs. I wish you luck and success in your project. Cheers Dave
