The Pendel is designed for the transportation of one person inside a manual wheelchair.

This person should have enough physical capacity to control and steer the Pendel FD

without any problems. This means that the hand function of the driver should be in a state

that he or she can control the throttle, brake levers and switches. Also the steering should

be no problem for them as well. The Pendel is classified as a Class C wheelchair.

The wheelchair to fit inside the Pendel FD should have two large wheels in the rear and

two small castor wheels in the front. The wheel size of the large wheels should be 24 or 26

inch.

The Pendel FD is designer to drive on flat and solid grounds. Public roads and special
