iSkibike is a bi-ski which is perfect for many disabled individuals' adaptive skiing needs. iSkibike is used by people with:
Amputations
Brain Injuries Balance Problems Muscular Weakness Vision Impairment Muscular Dystrophy Multiple Sclerosis Other Neurological Diseases Arthritic Knees or Hips Mental Health |
The nature of this adaptive bi-ski makes it extremely easy to learn to ski beginner runs, yet challenging to master on more difficult runs, both on and off piste.
Disabled individuals are typically able to ski easier downhill ski runs on their first day, and after mastering the learning curve, are able to ski "on-piste" groomed runs and "off-piste" powder and crud runs.
iSkibike has a unique "4-bar" suspension system, with 8 inches of seat travel, that allows the disabled individual to fully ride on the device while their feet need only float lightly on the snow surface using very short foot-mounted skis to maintain balance.
This patented design allows the disabled individual to load and unload chairlifts, while fully seated on the iSkibike.

Throughout the design and patenting process Shroombob has focused on adapting old school downhill ski equipment concepts by innovating an entirely new and creative downhill ski device to accommodate and facilitate downhill skiing for disabled individuals. Shroombob continues to further improve the design of the iSkibike through user input.
