Why limit yourself to the beach boardwalk? With the VipaMat Hippocampe, plunge into the heart of the ocean’s embrace. Swimming, Playing, and enjoying the sea – go wherever your heart desires! Build sandcastles, bask in the waves, or simply soak in the sun.

Your All-Terrain Adventure Buddy

Imagine a wheelchair that can go anywhere – from sandy beaches to rocky mountains, even through snowy landscapes. That’s the VipaMat! It’s built for exploring different places, no matter the weather or terrain. With special wheels and accessories, the VipaMat lets you enjoy all kinds of adventures. 

Ideal for Winter Sports Enthusiasts

The Dual-Use Ski and All-Terrain Wheelchair is perfectly suited for snowy and water environments, thanks to its hydrophobic, quick-drying seat. The seat’s dense foam provides comfort and water resistance.
Optional ski attachments transform this wheelchair into the ultimate skiing companion! Opt for just the front ski attachment for mobility on groomed snow and cross-country trails. For those seeking more thrill, adding both front and rear skis equips the wheelchair for downhill adventures on ski slopes, though it should always be used with a companion.
