With a wheelchair bike, you can ride a bike together with someone who is dependent on a wheelchair or has difficulty walking and is not able to ride a bike alone. The front part of the wheelchair bike consists of a seat for the passenger and the rider can sit on the rear part of the bicycle. The seat for the passenger can be adjusted in various ways to ensure that the passenger sits comfortably and pleasantly. Read all about these and other driving features of the OPair below.

Adjustable passenger seat

The seat of the OPair can be adjusted in many ways. For example, the depth and angle of the backrest can be adjusted to suit the person individually. In this way, the bicycle is suitable for almost everyone who is in a wheelchair or can no longer cycle independently. Optionally, a separate seat shell can be used or mounted.  For children and smaller adults, there is also the option of attaching additional side supports.
