VeloChair

11/07/2025

The VeloChair is a mobility and rehabilitation device that combines the comfort and stability of a wheelchair with the motion and health benefits of cycling. It’s designed to let users propel themselves using a pedal system operated by their legs, rather than traditional push rims, though it can also be moved manually.

🦽 What it is: A pedal-powered mobility chair that promotes movement, independence, and fitness.
💪 Why it’s helpful: It allows users to stay active safely, improving circulation, strength, and joint mobility while reducing strain on shoulders and wrists compared to a standard wheelchair.
👩‍🦽 Who benefits:
• People in rehabilitation (e.g., recovering from surgery, stroke, or injury).
• Individuals with limited mobility who still have some leg strength.
• Older adults seeking safe, low-impact exercise.
• Those with conditions like MS, Parkinson’s, or arthritis who benefit from gentle movement.

An example of how to transfer in and out of the car into a VeloChair. This might look a little different for everyone but this is just one example of how our founder, Ken, does it!

We had the pleasure of attending PennState Health’s RecFest to celebrate inclusive recreation and community connection. The day started with Opening Ceremonies, which included a speech from Maggie Redden, who is a former member of Penn State’s Adaptive Athletics program and a 2008 Beijing Paralympian in wheelchair track! Demonstrations were given on adaptive boxing, adaptive gaming, service dog tasks, and more.

We had the chance to speak with Kenneth Simons, founder of VeloChair, which can be used for adaptive recreation. “The VeloChair is fun to use! It’s an innovative alternative to traditional manual or power wheelchairs and requires just 10 pounds of force on one leg for propulsion. Steering is intuitive and can be done with either one or both arms,” he said. The device folds easily for transport in a small SUV or on a commercial airplane and is designed to meet the needs of people affected by illness, injury, or aging.

We had a great time at the event! Follow us on our socials for more information and resources on adaptive recreation and how you can fund it.
