1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Batec is a handbike that attaches to a wheelchair to create a three-wheeled vehicle
that allows users to move around propelled only by their arms, optimising their capacities
and boosting autonomy.
Batec has CE marking as a class I medical device according to the requirements of
Directive 93/42/EEC concerning medical devices and the amendments in 2007/47/EC.
All of the Batec models operate in a similar manner, the only changes being to the way
they are powered and the gear shifter, as well as the brakes associated with each type of
gear shifter. See Section 3 (MODELS).
First, the handbike must be attached to a wheelchair. Once the two parts have been
joined, we have a three-wheeled vehicle with the seat on the wheelchair and transmission
and traction on the front wheel. To operate the handbike, just activate its transmission by
pedalling with your hands or pressing on the accelerator. This will provide traction to the
front wheel.
This product aims to provide wheelchair users (people with a disability that makes it
impossible for them to walk) with attractive, practical products that are useful both in their
daily life and for doing recreational activities and sport.
Thanks to the product configuration, users can do longer and more complicated trips than
with a wheelchair alone, boosting independence and autonomy.
