The DripBike can ease the stay for hospitalized children!

Tobias Nørbo and Jonas Nilsen are the inventors of the DripBike that helps children suffering from a severe disease to be mobile while they are treated. This means that the children can play and have fun while they are getting their medication! Furthermore the DripBike allows the children to be more independent of their parents and the hospital staff.
Suddenly the DripBike makes mobile activity and games a part of the treatment and not only a fun activity for children to do.

The invention resulted in different honorable invitations to great events like the Nobel Festivities 2008. This TV show was broadcasted on Danish National Television regarding the invitation for the Nobel Prize Ceremony.

English subtitles will be added soon!

Ris og Ros kan altid bruges

Det fungerer sådan at alvorligt syge børn ikke forlader børneafdelingerne, men udelukkende benytter hospitalafsnittes gangarealer til at cykle rundt på. Pt. må forældrene småløbe efter deres børn, for at give dem mulighed for mobil leg.

Enkelte cykler vil blive brugt udendørs. Der har du helt ret i at børnene skal være under opsyn. Ser du deres glade ansgiter, når bare de har mulighed for at lege mobilt, vil du se at de føler sig mere uafhængige.

erhm. Der vil jo stadig være brug for en sygeplejerske eller forælder ved barnet konstant. Jeg ved ikke om du selv har tænkt over det, men det er dybt uforsvarligt og farligt at lade nogen cykle alene omkring på gangene på en sådan cykel..

Ret god idé, men virker ikke helt gennemtænkt. Når det alligevel kræver at der er en voksen ved barnet hele tiden, kan denne person-om det så er mor, far eller en sygeplejerske- også lige så godt sørge for at stativet kommer rundt.

The Trike in the video is a prototype. We are currently working on the first production of 200 trikes! Do you want to be one of the first to ease the stay at a cancer ward or any other ward for seriously sick children? Then don't hesitate to contact us.

Estimated price is 1.000 € - but this number is not yet a grantee!

Thank you for your attention!

Best regards
