Therefore, an overstraining of the hips and knee joints is being avoided. The height adjustable pedal axle is leveled to fit the length of the legs which provides an ideal seating position. The MOTOmed gracile12 is adjustable to your growing child's height.

MOTOmax - more fun during training

For those children who are training actively it's a fun challenge to make the MOTOmax game character jump. If equal strength input is applied from both legs or arms, the MOTOmax ''jumps for joy'' and rewards you with a smile.
