Ebay, craigslist, Bike-On, adaptive programs in your area that are upgrading their handcycles.

You should place a wanted add on our "Equipment and Services" forums.

I saw one on eBay for $1350. It's a top end force 2. Spoke to the guy and he agreed to let it go for $900. He said he would get back to me to setup a time but haven't heard from him.

So the guy called me back on Monday and said someone in CT offered him $1200 but if I was willing to pay $1000 he would sale it to me. We agreed on the deal and I was supposed to drive over to the Bronx from NJ to pick up the bike and pay him cash on Wednesday. The meeting time was 1pm. I had to ask my brother to come with me. He drove over from Brooklyn. At 11ish the guy called me up and said he tried to end the ebay listing on Monday but it didn't work and now someone made a bid and the auction has ended.
So, basically I went through all the trouble and in the end he sold it to the bidder on ebay.

Not sure of the level of your injury. But if you have some lower core left, this would be a great bike at a great price.

I have this one if your still looking
It's an older FreedomRyder, but it's priced right. Depends on if you are looking for something 'high end' or just want to ride. I bought it for $500 and paid just over $200 for new tires tubes and a tune up. I will sell it for $550. I live in Vancouver, Wa. Come on up and lets go for a ride and you can see if it's what you are looking for.
Either way good luck and enjoy some quality outdoor time.

I'm a t3 complete. Not too sure if it would be a good bike for me since it has the lean to steer setup.
