Industrial designer Chan Lee has developed a prosthetic arm for mountain bike riding and cycling.
Called ZENOS, the prosthetic arm was developed to encourage amputees towards a more active lifestyle and to challenge their limits.
Stating how current high-performance prosthetics are expensive and require additional setup, Lee has designed ZENOS to be 3D printable so that it will be cheaper to manufacture. Said to be relatively easy to assemble, ZENOS is also open sourced.
ZENOS is fitted with an easy lock and release system, compression dampening elbow, and a stable air shock.
Having the best performance when compared to other shock absorption parts such as spring steels and elastic cords, the air shock is able to effectively minimize the impact on the shoulder.
The compression dampening elbow can be adjusted to the most ideal and comfortable position by using the quick release clamp.
The easy lock and release system enables wearers to clasp ZENOS onto a bike handle and quickly disconnect by changing the pivot point of the hook.
