Vipamat Technologie

Vipamat manufactures a line of all-terrain wheelchairs. Email us at contact-usa@vipamat.com. Here are a few reasons why we believe our wheelchairs are unique: - The user can operate the chair alone giving a true sense of freedom and independence, - This is a multi-use chair: 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 on the chair (covering anodized aluminum tubes) prevents skin burns. The seat is made of special fabric that does not absorb water which gives better comfort. The foot rest is in fiber glass. The special design of the push bar makes it very easy for someone to push and turn the Hippocampe in every direction, - 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.
