It's the invention driven by love and some tired legs.

Kevin who is 79 got to tinkering on a design for e-bike wheel chair because it was a monster effort to push his wife in her chair up the hilly terrain along New Plymouth's coastal walkway.

He thought biking with her upfront would be easier, all so Bev, who is 89 and has dementia, can see the ocean she loves.
