We have a fleet of over 40 different Velomobile Recumbent Trikes for Veterans that need to be serviced weekly. Local bike shops charge us $75 Hourly which is excessive due to our size and weekly needs to be able to afford. We are now too big to run our program with depending on non skilled labor volunteer support or local bike shops help due to our size. With you support we can overcome this ongoing burden of repairs by hiring our own mechanic which will reduce our cost to $25 Hourly. Lots of Bikes go without repairs due to lack of funds or skilled labors capable of fixing our E-Trikes which stops us from proactively reaching our Veterans through Suicide Prevention Veteran Peer Support Outdoor Recreation before its too late. https://youtu.be/R0BkR0h1awo Video link to show us drive from Las Vegas to Utah to find skilled labors to get Job done correctly, local bicycle shops could not. Our Electric assist systems require special equipment we need to invest in along with getting 1 full time mechanic we can count on to maintain our fleet of trikes daily. $50,000 Annual Salary for a skilled labor E-bike Mechanic will solve all our maintenance problems which is our #1 barrier the past 7 years of service. https://youtu.be/TsY6Bv4lD4M #FNG #StigmaFree #SuicidePrevention
