1. INTENDED PURPOSE, INDICATIONS AND
CONTRAINDICATIONS
The HANDBIKE BATEC ELECTRIC is a handbike that attaches to a
wheelchair to create a three-wheeled vehicle that allows users to
move around propelled only by their arms, optimising their capacities and
boosting autonomy.
HANDBIKE BATEC ELECTRIC has CE marking as a class I medical device
according to the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2017/745 concern-ing
medical devices and the amendments in 2007/47/EC.
All the HANDBIKE BATEC ELECTRIC models operate in a similar man-ner, the
only change being the wheel size, top speed and features. See Section 3
(MODELS).
First, the handbike must be attached to a wheelchair. Once the two parts
have been joined, we have a three-wheeled vehicle with the seat on the
wheelchair and transmission and traction on the front wheel. To operate
the handbike, just activate its transmission by pedalling with your hands or
pressing on the accelerator. This will provide trac-tion to the front wheel.
This product aims to provide wheelchair users (people with a disabil-ity
that makes it impossible for them to walk) with attractive, practical
products that are useful both in their daily life and for doing recrea-tional
activities and sport.
Thanks to the product configuration, users can do longer and more
complicated trips than with a wheelchair alone, boosting independ-ence
and autonomy.
