From USA Today:

Boss Hoss founder Monte Warne was inspired by a longtime friend who uses a wheelchair, Larry Curry (shown left), to design the Boss Hoss Advantage Trike, a high-power, wheelchair-accessible motorcycle.

Boss Hoss, a small motorcycle company based in Dyersburg [TN], is teaming with V8 Performance to offer an $8,000 conversion kit, which can turn a Boss Hoss Sierra Truck Trike into a hand-operable machine.

… The front of the trike resembles a traditional motorcycle cruiser, while the fiberglass-covered rear looks like that of a pickup. Ordinarily, the rear would be used as storage space, but on the Advantage Trike, it conceals a wheelchair lift built into the chassis.

Rad Hunsley, chief operating officer for Boss Hoss, says the trike allows people to “express their freedom” while “flying down the road.”
