BUDDY classic

  • The BUDDY classic wheelchair for children and young people is characterised by its extensive frame design options with abduction. Choose from 8 frame parameters to configure the frame optimally to the wheelchair user’s requirements. In addition, special frame heights and lengths as well as special abductions are possible upon request.

    Thanks to its special design, the width of the BUDDY classic can be adjusted so it grows along with its user, making it a reliable companion for many years.

    Equipped with the simple seat height adjustment in 1 cm steps and the continuous adjustment of the tipping point, this wheelchair adjusts to the growing requirements of its user.

    Thanks to its robust construction, the BUDDY classic makes an ideal companion for all sorts of adventures. This allows children to discover the world on their own and there is nothing to prevent them from taking part in boisterous children's games.

    The BUDDY classic is available with extensive accessories and can thus be upgraded to suit any everyday life situation. Combined with various adaptations such as the FREEWAY steering attachment or the SPIKE adaptive bike, new action areas can be explored.

The adjustment options and the growing feature offer flexibility

As the seat height can be adjusted in 1 cm steps and the tipping point is continuously variable via the wheel plates, the BUDDY classic can adapt to changing needs. This supports advances in wheelchair handing, encouraging the child to become more independent and mobile.

The seat width can be increased by 4 cm without exchanging any frame parts. Anything beyond this can be implemented by replacing assemblies (depending on the required change in the seat width and the wheelchair equipment, these include the cross-tubes, seat plate/cover, back shell/cover, back cross bar and other assemblies depending on the situation), which makes the BUDDY classic a reliable companion for many years. 

Individual frame with abduction

The BUDDY classic has an abduction frame for more leg room. The abduction frame is also used to achieve leg positions required due to specific disabilities.

The frame of the BUDDY classic is customised for the user via 8 selectable frame parameters. Upon request, there is also the option to implement special frame heights, lengths and special abductions. 

Sturdy frame for maximum mobility and compatibility

The frame is rated for loads of up to 100 kg. With its torsion-resistant frame, the BUDDY classic has excellent handling characteristics even on rough terrain.

Adapters let you connect traction devices, adaptive bikes and other adaptations in just a few steps, while the sturdy frame ensures optimal handling of the combination. Optionally, the extended wheel plate can be used to implement a wheelbase extension for even better traction.

Compatibility with wheelchair drives like e-fix, e-motion or Twion, for example, can also be provided upon request.

The BUDDY classic is crash-tested. Transport restraint systems for wheelchairs in motor vehicles are available as optional extras, as are crash-tested headrests.

Simple transport

Since tools are not required to remove assemblies and the backrest can optionally be folded down, the BUDDY classic is ideal for loading independently.

Option: One-hand drive 

For children with hemiplegia or other restrictions affecting one side of their body, a manoeuvrable one-hand drive with a double handrim can be installed up to a wheel camber of 12° (1°, 4°, 6°, 10° or 12°). Different handrim materials, external diameters and distances to the rim meet a wide range of requirements. The drive wheels can be removed using a floating axle for simple handling.

The one-hand drive can be combined with the 'One-handed knee lever brake'. When the brake is activated on one side, a Bowden cable moves the brake pins on both sides.

Option: Outdoor wheel attachment

The wheel attachment turns the wheelchair into an all-terrain vehicle for cobblestones, gravel and forest trails, as the caster wheels are raised off the ground and the larger 12" wheel of the wheel attachment makes it much easier to travel over uneven surfaces. The wheel attachment is quick and easy to attach without any tools using the quick release lever. The wheel of the outdoor wheel attachment with a steering fork swivels 360° and can be locked in a straight ahead position with one motion. 

Option: Therapy table

The therapy table is a useful work surface and can be removed in just a few steps without tools using the Quick-pin. Thanks to the continuous height, length and angle adjustment, the therapy table can be optimised for the child's needs.

Various back systems

The backrest is available as a lightweight adaptable back with back padding (belt system for optimal adjustment of slack and padded lumbar support) or as a sturdy back shell (very sturdy with fixed slack and adjustable lumbar support). As an option, you can choose a backrest that can be folded and adjusted at seven different angles, offering flexible seat positions. It is particularly helpful when using adaptive bikes and traction devices, as the ability to adjust the backrest angle forward (perpendicular to the ground) is very useful to compensate for the raised caster wheels. This feature also allows a small pack size for loading. 

The ERGO Back backrest bar is also available as an option in addition to the back shell. This backrest bar relieves the strain on your back by allowing you to lean back, and adds an attractive visual touch.

Various pushing devices for accompanying persons

The central push handles and push handle bars, which adjust easily and continuously in height, let the accompanying person push the wheelchair with one hand, keeping the other hand free for shopping or siblings. With the fold away handle area, the handle/bar angle is easy to adjust without tools. The handle/bar can also be folded away completely for transport. The push handle bar leaves plenty of room for hands, allowing the accompanying person to hold with one or two hands. 

The ‘Safety push handles, back-positioned’ are also continuously height-adjustable and can be chosen with a lateral handle offset for a wider grip. This push handle version is operated with both hands. 

Wide range of optional extras and accessories

Each BUDDY classic is a customised model, with frame dimensions and equipment that are always tailored to the wheelchair user’s needs. You can choose from a wide range of equipment for the BUDDY classic, including footrests, brakes, push handles, back and seat systems, clothing guards, armrests, as well as drive and caster wheels.
