Sunrise Medical Empulse Attitude Junior Handbike

Go out with friends instead of always being behind in terms of speed

For many children, cycling is an integral part of their free time, school commute, and shared activities. The Empulse Attitude Junior translates this experience to a suitable manual children's wheelchair: a 16-inch front wheel, hand cranks, and an 8-speed hub gear turn the wheelchair into an active handbike.

Deliberately manual – movement is part of the concept

Unlike the Attitude Power, propulsion here comes from the child's arms. The hand cranks enable athletic activity, while the gears support different driving situations. Sunrise Medical explicitly describes the Junior model as a way to incorporate strength, endurance, and body awareness into recreational riding.

• 16-inch front wheel: for use on various everyday paths.
• 8-speed hub gear: operable via twist grip.
• Coaster brake: for controlled deceleration.
• Child-friendly crank position: various crank lengths are provided.
• Max. user weight: 100 kg.

Participation that feels like leisure

The emotional benefit is not in a technical number. It's about a child being able to actively set the pace themselves on an outing, on the way to school, or while playing. The handbike complements mobility without replacing the familiar wheelchair as a seating and positioning system.

Before selection, the wheelchair model, frame width, and individual ergonomics must be checked. The correct adjustment of the cranks is particularly important so that the handbike fits the child and not just the wheelchair.
