You wish to invest in a light sport wheelchair to allow people with reduced mobility to practice a physical activity in a club or a sport association. PlayMoovin’ can help you find the sport wheelchair model which perfectly adapts to a leisure practice. The lightness of the wheelchair must indeed not take precedence on its solidity and the player’s safety. Find out here about the key points to choose your wheelchair well.
The sport wheelchair weight
A wheelchair is generally quite heavy. For the leisure practice of a sport, a light model should be chosen. It has flawless manoeuvrability and allows easiness in all sport manoeuvres.
The FreeMoovin’ answers particularly well to this lightness criterion. It is a multisport wheelchair which was conceived for:
- Raise awareness of disabilities among the most amount of people;
- Offer future members the possibility to practice a sport safely.
It is one of the lightest wheelchairs in the world with a weight of 15kg. Indeed, its shell is made of PEHD. This rigid material is similar to plastic so it allows to considerably reduce the wheelchair’s weight.
The FreeMoovin’ is an innovative product. It was tested and approved by the study and research centre for the equipment of disabled people (CERAH).
It must be known that people who have a weight of more than 140kg can sit on the wheelchair (it is certified by the CERAH for people who have a weight of up to 100kg).
A light sport wheelchair adapted to the sportsperson’s size
The sport wheelchair’s dimensions are also of capital importance to guarantee the player’s safety. The FreeMoovin’ is adapted to children as well as adults. It has a 42cm-wide seat. It comes equipped with a foam piece which reduces the seat’s width. You can also raise the footrest if needed.
No matter their age and weight, the player is particularly well held to the chair while comfortably installed in their ultra-light sport wheelchair.
Flawless safety for the player
When you choose your sport wheelchair, you have to ensure that its lightness does not take precedence over the player’s safety.
The FreeMoovin’ is made from an unbreakable material which grants it rock solid solidity. It thus perfectly helps the practice of contact sports which are considered violent such as wheelchair rugby or wheelchair handball.
Whatever sport the player practices, they are maintained to the wheelchair with a seatbelt. Their feet are placed on footrests and anti-swing wheels prevent from falling.
A multisport wheelchair which can easily be carried
Better have an easy-to-carry wheelchair as well.
The sport wheelchair from PlayMoovin’ is really easy to take apart, which simplifies its transport from one place to another. Do you wish to buy several wheelchairs? With the FreeMoovin’, there is no need to rent a big truck to carry them: the cases are stackable so you can store them very easily.
The wheelchair’s price: an important criterion
The cherry on top of everything we talked about before is the FreeMoovin’ s price cannot be beaten. An ultralight wheelchair costs around 1400€ and we can also rent it so jump on the occasion!
The FreeMoovin’ is the light sport wheelchair you are looking for. It can be used to help carry out a disability awareness action within companies or in schools. Numerous sport clubs were also convinced of its usefulness and use it regularly to allow their members to practice a parasport in a leisurely way. So why not join in on the idea?
