Built from relevant experience

Created by Sean McElroy from lived experience as a left below-knee amputee who returned to walking and riding after a severe motorcycle crash.

Fit and boundary

Designed for: Adult riders with limb loss and the family members, prosthetists, rehabilitation professionals, and motorcycle professionals supporting them.

Not for: Not medical advice, rehabilitation instruction, prosthetic prescription, motorcycle training, or clearance to ride.

Important boundary: This guide shares lived-experience planning methods. It is not medical advice, rehabilitation instruction, prosthetic prescription, motorcycle training, or a determination that any person is safe to ride. Clinical and riding decisions belong to the rider and qualified professionals.

Purchaser-specific delivery, license, and returns

Delivery: Fourthwall immediately provides a small access ZIP after payment. Use the purchase email and order number in the ELQAVREN claim portal, name the licensed purchaser or business, review the terms, and receive a purchaser-specific package through a 15-minute single-use link. Up to three successful package downloads are available per paid order. No physical item is shipped.

Delivered files: The materials remain ordinary PDF, Word, and—where included—Excel working files. The package records the licensee, order reference, and unique license ID. This supports attribution without locking the files to one device or requiring proprietary reader software.

License: Single purchaser or internal use within one identified business. Do not resell, sublicense, publicly post, or distribute the blank materials outside the licensed purchaser or business.

Returns and support: Digital-product sales are final except where required by law or when a delivered file is materially defective. If a valid paid order cannot be verified or a file is inaccessible or defective, contact the store with the order number.

Privacy: Delivery records the order reference, licensee name, keyed purchase-email record, license ID, download count, and timestamps. ELQAVREN does not inspect information you later enter into the working files.
