Ideal for Winter Sports Enthusiasts
The Dual-Use Ski and All-Terrain Wheelchair is perfectly suited for snowy and water environments, thanks to its hydrophobic, quick-drying seat. The seat's dense foam provides comfort and water resistance. Optional ski attachments transform this wheelchair into the ultimate skiing companion! Opt for just the front ski attachment for mobility on groomed snow and cross-country trails. For those seeking more thrill, adding both front and rear skis equips the wheelchair for downhill adventures on ski slopes, though it should always be used with a companion.
Optional Wheels/Accessories Overview:
Ballon wheels
Perfect for the beach, these ballon wheels , designed for sand, replace the dual wheels and makes it easier to push the wheelchair on fine sand.
Front ski
The front ski allows the wheelchair to move forwards on snowy paths and avoids snow accumulation on the front wheel.
Rear skis
Installed in place of the rear wheels and combined with the front ski, the set of rear skis allows the Hippocampe to adapt to snowy reliefs.
