Armbike is an addition with a large front wheel and handlebars that can be attached to a manual wheelchair. When the armbike is connected the front wheels of the wheelchair are lifted up. The armbike is driven forward when you pull the handle toward you and coasts when you push the handlebars away (rowing motion). The bike has seven gears, as well as a handbrake, bell and reflectors. Mobility is easier on the body and is much faster than the wheelchair alone. The bike is very responsive and has a tight turning radius.
Weight cycle part about: 10 kg.

Users comments
The user is very happy with her armbike. She often uses it as a means of transportation and to be able to keep the same pace as people who are walking. It works best on level ground. It is easy to bring along on flights.
The “rowing” movement that propels the armbike is gentle on the body. Another advantage is that the user’s hands do not become dirty because they are on the handlebars rather than on the push rims.
