“Translation : “SURPRISED by the lack of reviews for this exceptional product. We currently own 3 wheelchairs and have 2 more on
order very soon. Ideal for running races for both able-bodied individuals and our friends with disabilities. Do not hesitate for a
moment. “Association: Artists Athletes with Heart”.
SURPRIS de l’absence d’avis concernant ce produit qui est exceptionnel.
Nous détenons à ce jour 3 fauteuils et 2 en commande très prochainement. Idéal pour des courses de running aussi bien pour les valides que pour nos amis en situation d’handicap. Ne pas hésiter un seul instant. Association Artistes Sportifs de Coeur”

“Translation : “A wheelchair that holds 3 world records in handi-valid duo, in Olympic triathlon, half-Ironman
, and Ironman. I don’t know what more one could want… Oh yes, from a safety perspective, the belt and/or harness are adjustable and secure. From a comfort perspective, never a bedsore despite hundreds of kilometers traveled each month. It doesn’t have 5 stars for two reasons: the assembly is so precise that it’s not that simple, BUT that’s typical of manufactured products. The second aspect is that the center of mass is quite far back, which causes a rather quick backward tilt if you’re not alert! Overall, there’s nothing better currently on the market in terms of weight, performance, and practicality. Bonus: Made in France!”
Un fauteuil qui a 3 records du monde en binome handi-valide, en triathlon olympique, half-Ironman et Ironman.
Je ne sais pas ce qu’il faut de plus… Ah si, d’un point de vue sécurité, la ceinture et/ou le harnais sont ajustés et réglables. D’un point de vue confort, jamais un escarre malgré des centaines de kilomètres parcourus chaque mois. Il n’a pas 5 étoiles pour deux raisons : le montage est tellement ajusté qu’il n’est pas si simple que ça, MAIS c’est le propre des produits manufacturés. Le 2ème aspect est que le centre de masse est pas mal en arrière, ce qui provoque une bascule postérieure assez rapid”

“Translation : I first had the beach and all-terrain Hippocampe wheelchair, then I got the marathon wheelchair.
So, I got the balloon wheels for the hippocampe which are necessary for the beach. I love it. Now I am much more comfortable on it and the attached umbrella protects me from the sun. My parents find it very practical for moving on the sand. These two wheelchairs have given me a freedom I had never known before for my outings. They are so practical for accompanying my assistance dog Impoo on outings and for training and competitions. I ❤️ it.”
J’ai eu en premier le fauteuil hippocampe plage et tout terrain puis j’ai eu le fauteuil marathon.
Du coup j’ai pris les roues ballons pour l’hippocampe nécessaires pour la plage. J’adore. Au moins je suis bien plus confortable dessus et l’ombrelle fixée me protège du soleil. Mes parents trouvent très pratique pour avancer sur le sable. Ces 2 fauteuils m’ont permis une liberté jamais connue avant pour mes sorties. Ils sont tellement pratiques pour accompagner en sortie mon chien d’assistance Impoo et pour faire des entrainements et compétitions. J’ ❤️”
