Discover Hippocampe, the leisure wheelchair that lets you enjoy outdoor Activities to the fullest, whatever the season.
Please note that the chair comes with the push bar and the pull rope (to pull the chair from the front of it instead of pushing it). We have additional accessories that can be selected based on need or preference. Accessories include armrests, brakes, a headrest, a harness, an adjustable back for higher back support, a transport bag to store and carry the Hippocampe and a ski attachment.
Here are a few reasons why we believe our wheelchair is unique:
- The user can operate the chair alone in the sand giving a true sense of freedom and independence (the push bar and traction kit are used for people who can not operate the wheelchair alone or for people who need a little extra help because of the terrain or fatigue),
- This is a multi-use chair: primarily on the beach but also for hikes, in the mountains, in the countryside, in the snow (with the ski attachment), etc. The Hippocampe can be used all year around,
- The Hippocampe is better built and will last longer. For example, the blue neoprene casing you see on the chair (covering anodized aluminum tubes) prevents skin burns (aluminum gets hot in the sun and one can get burned easily). The seat is made of special fabric that does not absorb water (there is a hole in the seat for water to evacuate) which gives better comfort. The foot rest is in fiber glass, a stronger material, which is then covered with the same fabric as the seat to protect the skin of the feet. The special design of the push bar makes it very easy for someone to push and turn the Hippocampe in every direction; it does not require a lot of strength,
- The Hippocampe is light (31 pounds) and collapsible which makes it easy to transport in a car or even in an airplane (one of the accessories is a transport bag allowing the chair to be checked as a luggage in airports),
- It is very durable and easy to care for, a simple rinse after use on the beach will do. It is built not to rust, for example, the wheels have no bearings,
- It has a great design inspired by mountain biking and surfing,
- It is customizable; we have a large number of accessories allowing people with many types of disabilities to use it,
- It comes in 4 sizes allowing children, teenagers and adults alike to use it.
Our U.S. office and warehouse are based in Knoxville, TN. We ship with FedEx Ground service which costs an additional $100.
