There are three power assist options to help you get around: just using your arms, arms and some power assist and full power assist, depending on your needs.

Road Handcycle
Smooth and fast with and entirely powered by your hands!
Handcycling is another name for adapted cycling, perfect for those who are unable to use a traditional bike and want to spend time with family and friends while also keeping active. This is a great option whether you’re going for solo rides or joining a group on roads and paved trails.
Basketball Wheelchairs
These chairs are agile, quick and ideal for basketball. They can be used for wheelchair basketball, wheelchair tennis, wheelchair dancing, wheelchair AFL, and badminton, just to name a few. We have various sizes to suit young kids all the way to adults wanting to play! [Rebound WA thanks donors for these sport wheelchairs including Telethon.]
Wheelchair Rugby
These wheelchairs are designed to take a beating! The chairs are custom designed for wheelchair rugby, which originally was called Murderball, and are reinforced to take any contact. Players use two kinds of wheelchairs- offensive and defensive chairs. The one with the rack in the front is a defensive chair and is designed to hook other chairs. The one with the big bumper is an offensive chair and is designed to avoid being hooked.
This is a great sport option for those who may be impacted in 3 or more limbs, though we always encourage family and friends to get involved. Check out our Wheelchair Rugby Program.
The Omeo
The Omeo is a personal mobility device that has a unique balanced-based movement technology that allows you to interact with the world in a revolutionary way, hands free! It can be used as an additional wheelchair, a piece of sports and recreational equipment, a general means of personal mobility for those who find it difficult or prefer not to walk. The Omeo was a generous gift from Telethon. Learn more about the Omeo and watch it in action.
