EAGLE SPECIALLY ABLED RIDERS -KERALA

About Us

Eagle Specially Abled Riders (ESAR) is a groundbreaking and inspiring team of differently-abled riders who are transforming the accessibility and mobility landscape in India. Founded in Delhi by Dr. Ameer Siddiqui, ESAR stands as a powerful symbol of courage, inclusion, and determination.

Expanding Across India – New Kerala Branch

After the success of the Delhi team, ESAR has now launched a new branch in Kerala.

The Kerala unit is led by Sooraj P A, a permanent rider of ESAR and an active advocate for disability rights and accessible mobility. Under his leadership, the Kerala chapter aims to expand awareness, training programs, and large-scale accessible rides across the state.

Breaking Barriers with Adaptive Riding

ESAR riders use adaptive scooters, modified two-wheelers, and specially designed vehicles. Their enthusiasm and passion prove that physical limitations can never stop a strong mind.

They focus on:

Promoting inclusive mobility

Encouraging accessibility in public spaces

Empowering persons with disabilities through mobility training

Raising awareness on road safety and equal rights

The 6,926 km Accessible Awareness Ride

One of ESAR’s most remarkable achievements is the 6,926 km Accessible Awareness Ride from Delhi to Dhanushkodi and back.

This extraordinary journey covered 12 states in just 20 days, completed by:

Five differently-abled riders on adaptive scooters

One wheelchair user driving a modified car

This ride created nationwide awareness and inspired thousands along the route.

A Movement for Inclusion

ESAR is not just a riding team—it is a movement that champions dignity, accessibility, and equality for persons with disabilities. With branches expanding across India, including the new Kerala chapter, ESAR continues to remind society:

“Inclusion is a right, not a favour.”

Why ESAR Matters

They demonstrate what inclusive mobility truly means.

They inspire countless individuals with disabilities to chase their dreams.

They highlight the urgent need for accessible infrastructure across India.
