6 Purpose and indication
This product is a manual adaptive bike that is
coupled to a human-powered wheelchair with
the aim of preserving or increasing the inde-
pendent mobility of an active wheelchair user
to the greatest extent possible. The active
crank movement of the arms extends the us-
er's radius of action.
Indications: Walking impediment or limited
ability to walk due to paralysis, limb loss, limb
defect/deformation, joint contractions/joint
damage, neurological and muscular diseases.
Contraindications: Progressive muscle diseas-
es, the course of which is accelerated due to
fatigue of the arm and core muscles used (e.g.
muscle dystrophies and atrophies) and ac-
companying epilepsy disorders (legal stipula-
tions on freedom from seizures for a permit for
use on public roads apply here).
In addition - for safety reasons - the product
may only be operated by people who
can move and coordinate their hands,
arms, and head (when using the chin to
operate the gears if manual function is un-
available) so that they can operate all con-
trol elements and conduct full, unrestricted
steering movements during the trip.
are physically and mentally capable and
have the visual ability to safely operate the
product in all operating situations and can
meet the legal requirements for use on
public roads. For children or people with
mental, significant motor or visual impair-
ments, the attendants can ensure the re-
quired traffic safety as a substitute and as
a companion.
have been trained in its use by the rehabili-

7 Proper use
This adaptive bike is designed to be used out-
doors on tarmac and adequately paved roads
that ensure traction and stability of the product
when driving and braking. When used indoors,
there must be enough space for manoeuvring.
Avoid driving in poor weather conditions (e.g.,
storms) since this can lead to incalculable
risks.
The maximum permitted load of the product in
its standard design is 120 kg towed capacity
and 10 kg payload. The heavy-duty version
and individual customisations can be designed
for a higher load; this is then indicated on the
rating plate. Please ensure that the load limit
indicated on the ratings plate is not exceeded
when transporting objects.
Recommended equipment:
The wheelchair should be equipped with a
wheelbase extension; the maximum permissi-
ble load for the wheelbase extension must be
then be observed. Before driving with the trac-
tion system, the wheelchair wheels should then
be positioned in the wheelbase extension. This
allows better distribution of the weight between
the drive wheel of the product and the wheel-
chair wheels to be achieved. This minimises
the risk of the product wheel slipping on
slopes.

Recommended equipment:
The wheelchair can be equipped with an anti-
roll back device that can be activated before
driving on slopes. The anti-roll back device can
also be used if the wheelbase extension is
used on the wheelchair.
