Wheelblades - Wheelchair Skis
Safety and mobility in a wheelchair – even in winter on snow and ice? It’s no problem with Wheelblades S. Thanks to the easy-to-adjust binding, this practical aid can be attached to any conventional wheelchair model.
With the patented quick-release mechanism, you can switch from wheels to runners with ease in just seconds. The broad contact surface of the Wheelblades optimally distributes the weight on the ground, thus preventing the small front wheels from sinking into the snow. The runners move along the ground with very little friction, and even larger irregularities in the terrain can be easily navigated.
To ensure that the tip of the ski always points forward, the binding was deliberately positioned in the front part of the ski. Stability while in motion is provided by two channels on the bottom of the Wheelblades that compress the snow and let you glide as if on rails.
Setting options: 2.0 - 6.5 cm
Suitable for: manual wheelchairs
Available: as a pair
Where do Wheelblades come from?
On his way to becoming a professional snowboarder, an accident resulting in incomplete paraplegia ended Patrick Mayer’s career. But he was undaunted by that turn of fate and founded NICON-TEC Ltd. – a young and innovative company dedicated to significantly improving the mobility of people with a walking disability.
Together with expert partners from Switzerland and Germany, NICON-TEC Ltd. develops and produces products for people with disabilities, enabling them to experience mobility, freedom and joy even off the beaten track.
How Do They Work?
