Islabikes launches new bikes for riders with dwarfism.

DSAuk Ambassador Steve Scott MBE has worked with Islabikes to design a bike for adults with dwarfism. Steve has worked hard and with his experience and extensive input, the team have been able to get the biomechanics right to produce an off the peg bike specifically designed for adults with dwarfism. The bike has been carefully sized to ensure they are safe and comfortable to ride.

Islabikes said “For years we’ve talked to people with disproportionate dwarfism who couldn’t get a properly fitting bike. Inexcusably, many have had to make do with riding one of our kid’s bikes – we had to put it right.”

The Guardian newspaper featured a fantastic article on 8th March about the Islabikes for people with dwarfism with an insight into how Steve Scott and DSAuk contributed to the development of the new bikes. Click Here to read the full article
