Masterwork incoming! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nils Wendling worked as a metal fabricator at Milc during his fifth and final year as a \u201cCompagnon du Devoir<\/em>\u201d (French community of craftsmen).

Nils chose to create a versatile, electric handbike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his technical specifications, Nils aimed to make a custom-built bike for the French Para-Cycling Federation in Tarbes, adjustable to all types of disabilities and disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
