Why row a RoScooter?

Questions and Answers:

Q. – Why is row-ing so good for mobility compared to “push rims”?

A. – Because it:

Does not cause RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury)
Uses all available upper body strength for propulsion.
Provides propulsion on both the Push and Pull
Requires 50% less input force for the same output.
No dirty hands, no wrist strain and very cool.

Additionally all our rides incorporate, braking, steering, gearing, reversing and a hybrid manual-electric option.

Q. – How to choose which ROTA is best for you?

A. Click here and we’ll send you the pathokinesiology data proving just how biomechanically efficient “Ro-ing” is and all the features and benefits of our rides.

The Department of Human Movement Sciences in Groningen determined that the ROTA Lever Drive required 50% less force than a push-rim wheelchair, delivered most effectively on both Push & Pull strokes in a rowing motion, as shown in this comparison between RoChair on the left and an ordinary wheelchair on the right:-

Note: The ordinary wheelchair only provides propulsion on the “push” and requires much more force, the main cause of RSI, completely overcome by the ROTA Drive!

Which rowing “Ro”-ing lever-driven ride is best for you?
* Denotes new models in 2022

RoScooter – For riders who enjoy an easy way to get around.
* Ro “Add-On” – Quick Release attachment for riders who use a wheelchair.
* RoChair – For riders who need an indoor-outdoor chair that provides “great” exercise.
* RoTrike – For riders who want speed on the street or trail, which can still pull into a coffee shop.

Each ROTA Ride can be specified with or without the Hybrid option.
