If anyone needs a hand cycle or any other type of wheelchair stuff I recommend working with John and his wife at rolling in paradise!! My whole experience getting a hand cycle from them was amazing!
Matt, Kansas
John sells some awesome products for adaptive recreation! I've bought a Stricker Lipo Lomo handbike attachment and most recently a Maddiline Race XE bike. He is very knowledgeable and takes time to make sure it is setup and working to your satisfaction. Some of the products have a bit of a learning curve in the beginning to get setup but don't get discouraged because they will provide great enjoyment once dialed in. 😀
Colin, Australia
Hi John, thanks so much for all your help in getting my handcycle order correct, despite you knowing you wouldn't get a sale from Australia. As you say, only we quads know! Your experience and knowledge were invaluable. Your advice made me much more confident in the scripting of

Thanks John and Annalisa for all your help with my new Stricker handcycle! The whole sales experience was the best I have had in a long time and you kept me updated as the bike was being built. It's working out great. Thanks again.

I had the honor to work with John and his wife on obtaining a new Tilite chair. I picked the chair up today and my new TR fits like a glove. It was measured and designed Perfect. I have had a few chairs in 16 years and never had such a Precise Fitting. A Priceless chair that just improved my quality of Life. Thank you John and Annalisa , I highly recommend Rolling in Paradise for all your wheelchair needs!

I recommend everything about them! I was so completely and utterly fed up my large DME company! I had come across John and Annalisa by chance. New Motion magazine had them listed as being in my area, Cape Coral Florida! I reached out to John and within a week I was in their garage discussing my new wheelchair and Stricker Hand bike.
Within five months I was sitting in my new manual HOC titanium wheelchair built for me and my specifications. I was seated atop the new Roho cushion I had asked John to get.
Fifteen minutes later I was getting strapped into my new Stricker hand bike! A few instructions from John and I was biking down the road with Annalisa by my side making sure I didn’t kill myself!
The most positive thing about the move to Rolling in Paradise is John and Annalisa! I felt an instant connection with them as people first and professional business owners second!
To my two new friends, thank you!

I can’t say enough good things about John and Annalisa. I have purchased several items this year and John is extremely knowledgeable and attentive. I would never thinking of buying anywhere else!

I’m thrilled with my Stricker Lipo Smart Para. Having the ability to have my chair while biking is a game changer. I love the e-assist options, gives you a great workout without struggling too much. It rides so smooth on so many different surfaces. And also so importantly John has been the best advocate for the product. He made himself available to talk me through my questions, kept me updated through the whole process and continues to check in to make sure things are going well. I could not be happier with the purchase and the service I received.

Hello All. If you are looking for adaptive equipment this is the place to go. After a deal falling through with another company I reached put to John for my bike because of the situation. It took me almost a year to decide on what I wanted how I wanted my hand bike. John kept in contact with me every month to see if I was ready. Well last august I pulled the trigger on a Maddiline Crosswind XE. I could not be more than happy with it. I took the bike out for the first time and rode 20miles round trip. One of the most comfortable bikes I’ve rode in my short years of being paralyzed. If you order a bike please trust John in his recommendations it’s not a sales pitch he speaks from experience. Thanks Again as always.

I recently bought a Stricker tetra smart from John and Annalisa. So far the bike has been great. We also bought the trailer accessory and my wife can stand on the back while we ride and hold the leash for our dog.
The buying experience was great! John gave us continuous updates on the status of the bike delivery and was on top of all of my questions. We had a part get damaged during shipping and John immediately had a new part shipped out to replace it. I would highly recommend buying from them and will use them again for any of my future needs!

John and Annalisa are an absolute pleasure to work and deal with, we have worked together on a few projects over the years and ever time it comes out phenomenal and my final result is that my customers are always ecstatic with the final result, it truly is a pleasure dealing with another disabled own company who specializes in recreational activities for people with different abilities……not only do they understand but they LIVE the life as well so it truly gives it a whole new level of service and understanding when you work with somebody in that sense.
This last project we end up doing was an electric conversion on a hand cycle that is quite popular here in America but yet there’s no real quality E bike kits well through Rolling in paradise with John’s experience he was able to get a kit put together that works phenomenally on these bikes.
I was able to put it on one of my veteran riders and he absolutely loves it he already has close to 75 miles on the bike and it’s only been a few days it works flawlessly and I couldn’t ask for anymore or any better help or just in general good quality company to work with
It’s my absolute pleasure to know and work with both John and AnnaLisa and look forward to the continued support we give each other’s companies all the best Alcorn Adaptive Bike and Mobility Shop

"Well, now that Budgie (that's his name) and I have had a few weeks to get to know each other and we're totally in love! I need to tell you about my experience with John and Annalisa.
This couldn't have gone any better. They were then (and still are) through every step of the way.
John went over everything, answered all my questions, sent me pictures of Budgies progress and then of the day he was put in a box! Updates all along!
They both spent a great deal of time getting me fitted in, bless their hearts for dealing with me! I am so pleased with how everything went. A very positive experience. Can't wait to come back for that trail bike!! Thanks again for being so wonderful!"

Wow! Rolling in Paradise is an amazing business! They go above and beyond to help you find what you’re looking for! They helped us locate a standing frame and it was shipped out quickly! They’ve continued to reach out after the sale to check in. We definitely recommend and will be using them again!🤩

"I purchased a hand cycle from John. He kept me informed from start to finish. Let me know where my product was each day, when I would receive it, and help me troubleshoot the set up process. Exceptional service!
Paul, Canada
"Been meaning to write this for awhile now. I’ve had the opportunity to purchase 2 different Stricker Handcycles from John & Annalisa. With the purchase of my first bike, which a friend ended up buying from me, the experience was perfect.
Being from Canada, this was a major purchase for apiece of equipment I had only seen videos of and read about. John was detailed and answered the many questions I had. When the bike arrived he was there over email and phone to take me through the setup and provide tips about attaching/detaching, and riding. An awesome experience.
With the purchase of my second bike R in P we’re just as thorough. Through no fault of R in P i has some Canadian shipping issues with the shipping company. This is where a company can truly shine, and shine John and Annalisa did. They helped me work through sorting out the shipping issue.
Once the shipping issue was taken care of John was there again to go through and setup and equipment questions I had, including supporting me when I broke a part. He immediately knew what I needed and had the piece shipped out.
R in P “stand” behind their products and are always there to help. They know and use the products they sell. They go above and beyond customer service. I will not hesitate to order from John and Annalisa for my future equipment needs. I highly recommend Rolling in Paradise."

"John and Annalise are the perfect team to handle the cycling needs of us quads (and disabled folks generally)!! Very attentive from the beginning, weekly updates on the build, the cycle was ready when promised, and the final product is awesome!!! John is knowledgeable about hand cycles and wheelchair motor technology and he is personally knowledgeable about the needs of spinal cord injured folks! Annalise road with me to try it out and get dialed in. John and Annalise also happen to be super nice people."
Jason
"I’ve been injured almost 30 years. As a c5/6 quad hand-cycling was something I had written off. When I saw the stricker hand cycle attachment I was like I need that. John is exceptional at what he does. When I took my first ride I felt like a kid riding my bike. The motor assist definitely helps and you still get a great workout. John answers all my questions and is still answering questions if I need something. Next step getting a house by the beach so I can get a freedom trax."
Cameron
"This is the first time Trey and I have been able to take a stroll on the beach together since his injury thanks to and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be back to one of our favorite activities."
Zachary
"Wow! Rolling in Paradise is just phenomenal at what they do! John was incredibly helpful in setting me up with some sweet equipment. He was so fast to respond and would check in time to time to see how my equipment was working for me! Any question I had he got back to me with great advice. You can really tell that they are very passionate in what they do and they genuinely care about each customer. Look no further if you're in need of help! It was an absolute pleasure working with them and they made the whole process super enjoyable! Thanks a ton for all that you've done John and Annalisa!!!"

"John and Annalisa are an amazing couple and so easy to work with. They go out of their way to accommodate you as their client and are very up front on the products that they deal with.
They seem to go over and above to make things happen for their clients and keep you informed through the whole processes of your purchase. They even contact you after you have received your equipment to make sure you are happy, enjoying it and just to make sure there are not any more questions they can answer, just all-around great customer service.
So, I had been looking at the freedom trax for over a year and then I found out it was one of the products that they offer through their company Rolling in Paradise which was located near me. After I contacted them inquiring about the Trax system, they were gracious in offering me a chance to see it work in real time.
We immediately started the process of ordering it after I arrived home. It is a wonderful addition to my independence; I live on a lake with a white sandy beach so not only does it allow me to get around the rough terrain of our property that I can no longer navigate with my manual chair, but it allows me to ride the beach area. The first weekend I had it we took a trip to the east coast, and it was the first time in a long time I was able to take a stroll down the beach with my husband, sand was very thick, but I was able to roll right through it.
The second weekend, I spent the weekend hoeing my beach for weeds and raking, it was a wonderful feeling to be out there doing something productive. Do not get me wrong there is a learning curve regarding the trax as far as balance and various aspects but the one thing I have learned in the 42 years of being a paraplegic all equipment has a learning curve, even the simplest of equipment. But I am looking forward to enjoying my home so much more with the use of this system.
Also, would like to give a thanks to the Livingston family for thinking of and patenting this device and Tour engineering for making the product. They also went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my new Trax."

“I hate seeing this beautiful new bike inside too, but with a few inches of snow it’s a good time to make adjustments and clean it up! I have to thank John Squires Annalisa Squires and Rolling In Paradise for taking care of me and my order, as well as Kelly Brush Foundation again. Everything went wonderfully. When John and I first spoke, I had a lot of questions being a “rookie”. He was patient, knew most things and took time to figure out the questions he didn’t know. I mentioned my budget was tight, and he even had some cost saving ideas…even though I went over budget , but I consider it an investment in myself! I had also read tons of handcycling posts and got great advice from people like Joe as well. I was successful in sales for over a decade and saw posts from John and Annalisa, showing off some different equipment and I respected seeing them put in the work. I figured I would be lucky to get this bike by summer since it’s the 20’s and fast food isn’t even fast anymore. I didn’t believe John when he gave an estimated ship date, but he mentioned this model has been coming within about 2 weeks of that and he would give me updates. I said, send me an email once a month or so and I’m happy. He was much more involved than that, I knew when it was painted, parts we were waiting on, etc. The great thing is when I got those emails, it always seemed to be on a day when I was lacking motivation and that was the bump I needed for the day. John was right, it came when he said. There was one issue, the chain ring was a 36T instead of the 44T I felt would be a better fit for me. No worries, I emailed John and he handled it exactly how I would have in sales/or would expect it to be handled. The 44T arrived shortly after. This is even better, now I’m getting to try the 36 before I throw the 44 on. John, knowing my lack of knowledge, even mentioned if I have any problems to take it to my bike shop and he would reimburse me for any costs. This works perfect for me, Ive never even changed a chainring but want to start wrenching on this bike more, it can’t be that hard. During this, I even needed a part for my busted XLT and had a hard time ordering one…figured I’d ask John if he could order one, and that part came in a couple days. From beginning to end your service was great and I appreciate it. I’ll get some action shots when it warms! It’s going to be a slow start but strong finish by the end of summer ”

"I recently got a Stricker hybrid clip-on handcycle. It’s fantastic! Nothing has to stay on your everyday wheelchair, and the power boost helps up the hills. Today Ross and I crushed a 35 mile ride in Montana (the first half with a strong head wind). I’ve realized over the years that I’m a pleasure rider, and don’t need a 7’ racing handcycle to go out for fun rides. This is way easier to transport, and no transfer needed. Strava tells me that this is the longest ride I’ve recorded, so I guess the fun bike is still great for logging miles."
Martha
“I was living and working out of an RV for a couple of years and first contacted John about an attachable handcycle because I needed something with a small footprint. John worked with me on purchasing my first Stricker Lipo Smart Para in 2019 and it was exactly what I needed. After logging over 5000 miles on my original purchase, John was the first person I contacted when looking to update with a new Stricker Lipo Smart Para in 2020. He also worked with me on pairing the new Stricker with a Colours full suspension wheelchair. I used the full suspension wheelchair and Stricker almost daily for the last year, until moving from the RV to a home. Enter the Maddiline Crosswind-XE. I thought long and hard about this purchase because it is a commitment! I have had several other traditional handcycles over the last 18 years and often struggled to find something that was not only comfortable but could rip down a trail. The Maddiline Crosswind-XE with the Bafang motor and rear suspension provides the comfort and power I need to ride long miles and tackle rough terrain. This handcycle is so unbelievably comfortable and powerful! John took an immense amount of his time to work with me through this purchase and I couldn’t be more grateful.
One of the biggest in advantages in working with John and Annalisa through Rolling In Paradise is the level of product support they provide. The fact that John actually owns a Maddiline and Stricker is enormously helpful when troubleshooting. They are very responsive when questions arise and have sent me videos with step-by-step instructions. As long-time members of the community of people with disabilities, they genuinely understand, especially when it comes to equipment and handcycles. I am happy for the both of them and wish them nothing but success on their new journey with Rolling in Paradise.”
