The Sporty Side of Wheelchair Concepts

Posted by Brian | Bikes, Concept | Posted on May 9th, 2009

The people with deficiencies have been able to do other things rather than sit and go and apparently Mark Zupan, the quadriplegic wheelchair rugby captain from US has become the motivating factor behind these HEROes Series of Sports Wheelchairs.

This specially designed series of wheelchairs, allows a handicapped person to indulge in sporting activities such as freshball (a kind of beach tennis), Frisbee, badminton, croquet, wheelchair volleyball and especially beach rugby; without the shortcomings of being on a chair.

HERO Zupan, HERO Daredevil and HERO Xavier are the three types of chairs in the series and each model is appropriate for specific tasks. Although I can’t confirm it at the moment, but it looks like the wheels of the chair are inflatable or feature airtubes thus making the ride smooth on all terrains.
