I've ben curious about this too.
Yeah, I wondered about some handle being put on the wheel I have now that is connected to the treadle. But not sure. Surely, someone has improvised something like this. Guess, basically, I need a handle that, when using and it is making the treadle go, it does not get away from me and I still get my fingers tangled. My White goes really fast.
