Why current motorcycle stabiliser systems are not considered safe for road use by disabled riders.
Key stability, control, and safety considerations for riders with above-knee amputations, including adaptations, prosthetics, and alternative motorcycle configurations.
Explores motorcycle adaptations for riders with right arm or hand impairments. Covers brake and throttle alternatives, control relocation, steering stability, and prosthetic solutions designed to maintain safe, confident, independent riding.
Focuses on solutions for riders with left arm or hand disabilities. Covers clutch adaptations, twin-lever systems, automatic transmissions, switchgear changes, and stability aids to support continued safe and confident motorcycling.
Right leg disabilities often make the standard rear brake pedal unsafe or impractical to use. Common solutions include hand-operated rear brake systems using twin-lever units or thumb brakes, along with footplate modifications to improve stability and prevent loss of control while riding or stationary.
Left leg disabilities can make operating a standard gear-change pedal difficult or impossible. Electronic gear changers, automatic or semi-automatic transmissions, and footplate adaptations provide reliable, discreet solutions that preserve independence, safety, and confidence on a wide range of motorcycles.

Dear new or renewing member, as this is a new membership portal that we at NABD have started to use, it will not show or allow you to put in your past membership number. It will issue you with a new membership number, but do not worry, we still have historical information of members date of joining and your previous membership number. As the new portal develops, we will build past details into the data base in the background.
Direct debit and monthly subscription members, please note that as this is a new site it will not have your previous bank details information retained and you will need to resubmit your membership application and bank information. We are sorry for this, but we need to use this new membership portal and process to ensure your information security, and it will make the process future safe.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter, but if you have any questions, please contact NABD on the contact form or telephone us.
