TRAVELER

A slight fold adds flexibility when passing through narrow spaces

Automatic partial folding reduces the seat width of the TRAVELER when the user is in the wheelchair by about 15% (roughly 5 - 10 cm) to pass through narrow spaces. This option is often used to access toilets, overnight accommodations when travelling as well as everyday situations in professional or leisure settings. After passing through the narrow section, the folding mechanism is locked again in just one step. 

By far the smallest pack size from 17 x 35 x 58 cm

At the smallest possible pack size, the TRAVELER even fits into a sports bag! What is more, when travelling by plane, you can even transport this mini-wheelchair as hand luggage.
All loading options are available: 

• Folded with folded-down backrest
• Detached with folded-down backrest and drive wheels like a rigid-frame wheelchair or remaining on the wheelchair
• As hand luggage in a sports bag: folded, removed caster wheels, drive wheels, footbar and folded-down backrest

The ability to load and unload the wheelchair for transport by car, resulting from the small pack size and the low overall weight starting from 11.5 kg (loading weight from 8 kg), offers independence. The TRAVELER is compatible with most car loading systems and fits into even the smallest of boots. 

Sturdy frame and torsion-resistant folding mechanism for maximum mobility and compatibility

The standard frame version is rated for loads of up to 120 kg. With the Heavy Duty equipment, the TRAVELER is also ideal for heavier loads of up to 180 kg. The locking S-struts that fold horizontally make the folding mechanism extremely torsion-resistant by design. This allows it to approach the handling characteristics of a rigid frame wheelchair.

Adapters let you connect traction devices and adaptive bikes in just a few steps, while the sturdy frame and torsion-resistant folding mechanism ensure 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 TRAVELER is crash-tested. Transport restraint systems for wheelchairs in motor vehicles are available as optional extras, as are crash-tested headrests.

Option: One-hand operation 

For users with hemiplegia or other restrictions affecting one side of their body, a very manoeuvrable one-hand operation set-up with a double-gripper wheel drive can be mounted up to a wheel camber of up to 12° (1°, 4°, 6°, 10° or 12°). Different gripper wheel 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 removable cardan shaft allows the TRAVELER to be folded, even with a one-hand operation set-up added. 

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

Various back systems

The backrest can be folded and adjusted at seven different angles (without tools), 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 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). The back shell can be removed using quick-lock systems to allow the TRAVELER to be folded. 

The back cross bar stabilises the backrest and absorbs lateral impacts. It simply folds up when the wheelchair is folded.

Range of seat systems

For the TRAVELER, you can choose between the seat cover systems ‘Open belt system’ and ‘Closed belt system’ as the seat system. These seat systems offer pressure distribution that can be adjusted via belts.

Wide range of optional extras and accessories

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