The Conquest is the sole production motorbike built specifically for paraplegic riders in the world. MobilityWorks is the parent company of Mobility Conquest and builds the trikes at their Akron Ohio producing facility. “Sturgis provides a well-known platform for raising awareness in the bike industry and this can let people know there are options available for folks in wheelchairs to continue their passion” related Bill Koeblitz, President and CEO of MobilityWorks. The theme of the contest is ‘Nominate Your Hero’, with the company encouraging spinal nerve injury groups, motorbike clubs and other non-profit setups to partake of nominating a meriting individual to win the bike. Self-nominations are also being accepted.

The winner will be selected by a council which will review 500-word nomination essays and / or video shows. The cut off point for sending a nomination is Thursday, August fourth. “Our goal is to give this bike away to the most meriting person we are able to find that actually wants to ride and to be an envoy for the Conquest” added Koeblitz. The Sturgis Conquest bike is also getting a facelift.
