What are the benefits of a rehabilitation bike?
The rehab tricycle uses arm and leg strength. A huge strength advantage for disabled people
The Reha tricycle is a fast everyday, training and touring bike for everyone.
The special thing about the rehab tricycle is that it uses arm and leg strength.
The rehabilitation tricycle for adults is often the first choice to compensate for or treat a disability.
But many people without physical limitations also use the rehab tricycle - for training or simply for the fun of riding - see also www.varibike.com
Commitment to disabled people
Because the rehab tricycle for adults has special driving characteristics and drive options, the rehab tricycle is very attractive for people with disability or people with disabilities. Disabled people particularly appreciate the 7 different types of drive. No tricycle in the world offers as much variety as the Reha tricycle. The uncompromising sporty design of the Reha tricycle is also appealing.
Thanks to the rehab tricycle, many disabled people can cycle again. They can go on excursions or go on tours with other cyclists. The rehab tricycle is the joy of movement and zest for life.

Limitations of the legs e.g. knee pain, hip pain, amputations
Such limitations are for example - lack of strength, limited mobility or pain in one or both legs e.g. Knee pain, Hip pain.
The reasons can be of different kinds, e.g. foot, hip or knee damage, arthrosis, leg
amputation
or partial paralysis.
Incomplete paraplegia
With the rehab tricycle, the arm crank movement can be coupled to the leg crank movement. When the arms are cranked, the leg cranks are also moved. This means that the legs can be moved despite incomplete paraplegia. With the rehab tricycle, muscle mass in the legs and buttocks is built up again and blood circulation is stimulated. The additional arm drive of the rehab tricycle provides the necessary additional push to move quickly and also to undertake longer tours. Of course, an electric motor support is also available as an option. See alsoincomplete paraplegia
Multiple sclerosis, stroke or Parkinson’s
After a stroke coordination or the sense of balance is often limited. The rehab tricycle has a low center of gravity and a secure stand. This means that the rehab tricycle for adults can also be ridden very slowly without it falling over.
At Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson the muscles are weakened. Because the rehabilitation tricycle can be driven with all limbs, it improves whole-body coordination and strengthens the entire musculature, keeping it supple and relaxed.
Broken bone, torn ligaments
Passionate cyclist with a broken leg or torn ligaments? A normal bike will then be unsuitable for months. But with the rehab tricycle, cycling with a broken bone or torn ligament is possible again. The rehab tricycle for adults then has a leg rest for the broken or injured leg. The healthy leg and arms can drive the tricycle. Instead of going without cycling for months, with the rehab tricycle you can not only stay fit, but get even fitter. The injured leg is spared and the healthy leg and upper body are trained. Better still, the entire cardiovascular system is kept in shape.
Without arms, thalidomide damage
For people without arms, a normal bicycle is difficult to steer. That's why we have developed a new bicycle for people without arms or with Contergan damage - the PedalPilot.
It is optimally designed for people without arms or with thalidomide damage.
The PedalPilot is
- easy to drive
