Bike Republic has teamed up with Vigo Ottobock Care, a specialist in orthopaedic and mobility aids. Adapted bikes — tricycles and bikes with hand or adapted drives — can be tried and bought in five shops: Diest, Sint-Denijs-Westrem (Ghent), Merksem, Retie and Veurne. Diest and Sint-Denijs-Westrem even have an indoor test track.
A first meeting looks at each rider’s needs and possible reimbursement (VSB or VAPH), followed up by a Vigo care adviser. Bike Republic assembles the bikes and will service them, aiming for 40 service points in 2027.
Come and see it at Bike Brussels, 5, 6 and 7 March 2027 at Gare Maritime (Tour & Taxis).
