Impaired function of one or both legs
Such restrictions are, for example - lack of strength, limited mobility or pain in one or both legs. The reasons can be of different kinds, e.g. Foot, hip or knee damage, leg amputation or partial paralysis. The additional arm drive of the Varibike trike compensates for the lack of leg strength. You are back on the road quickly and you can climb slopes again. The 7 different drive styles offer variety. It's a lot of fun and thanks to the variety, individual muscle groups can be recovered while driving. The muscles do not over-acidify and you are much more enduring with the Varibike Trike than with ordinary trikes or hand bikes.
Paraplegia
The Varibike Trike can be equipped with an FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) system. This means that the legs can be moved despite paraplegia. Muscle mass is built up again in the legs and buttocks and their blood circulation is stimulated. The leg strength is relatively low despite the FES system. However, the additional arm drive of the Varibike gives the necessary additional thrust to be on the move quickly and to undertake longer tours.
Multiple sclerosis, stroke, or Parkinson's
With these diseases, coordination or the sense of balance is often limited. The Varibike Trike has a low center of gravity and is secure. This means that the Varibike can also be driven very slowly without falling over. Furthermore, in multiple sclerosis, for example, the muscles are weakened. As the Varibike can be driven with all limbs, it improves the whole body coordination and strengthens the entire musculature and keeps them supple and relaxed.
