Abstract: A propulsion and exercise device for attaching to a conventional wheelchair having: at least one drive wheel operably interposed between the rear set of wheelchair wheels. A telescoping mast may connect the drive wheel axle to pedals to permit the pedals to be selectively moved from a stowed position to an extended position for use. Power is transmitted from the pedals to the drive wheel through a chain drive that passes over idler sprockets that maintain the chain length during adjustment of the telescoping mast.
