Mountain handbike

What better place to develop a new type of mountain handbike than in the typical landscape of Switzerland with its hills and mountains? Which is exactly what we thought, too. Off the road and out into nature, dear active wheelchair users! Propelled forwards by a cross-country bike that sets new standards: the OT FOXX K1. It is designed for challenging routes where you need to go up and go down.

As is already the case for the racing wheelchair, we are developing the high-tech sports device together with Sauber Technologies. In early December 2022, we revealed the prototypes at Swiss Handicap in Lucerne, Switzerland. The K1 stands for action and reliable riding fun and has also been further developed and manufactured in collaboration with the renowned wheelchair manufacturer Pro Activ since 2023.

So, you think it sounds great, but you still have a few questions? Let's go!

 

What’s so fantastic about the OT FOXX K1 mountain handbike?

So much, we think! The results of the prototype are promising. We have found the optimum balance between a low centre of gravity and a large gap above the ground. The OT FOXX K1 is stable and manoeuvrable at the same time thanks to its short wheelbase. The traction on the ground is excellent. The chain system allows reliable and gentle operation. Further advantages consist of the ergonomic seating position and intuitive steering.

What does it cost?

The price has not yet been determined.
