Custom Rehabilitation E-Bike: A Bike That Moves You Forward

Recovery starts with confidence – and a bike that fits you.

After surgery, an accident, or when living with chronic conditions, there’s usually one strong desire: to move forward again. For many, the bicycle is an essential tool in that process. But a standard bike? That often falls short.

At Astonic, we build custom rehabilitation e-bikes – specifically designed for people who need extra stability, safety, and comfort. Whether you’re recovering from a stroke, living with MS, or simply want to cycle again without fear: we build a bike that truly moves you forward.

Why a Custom Rehabilitation Bike Works Better Than a Standard E-Bike

A regular e-bike is built for the masses. Our custom e-bikes are built for you.

✅ Key differences:

  • Seating position tailored to your body – less strain on shoulders, neck, and back

  • Low step-through and compact frame – easier to mount and dismount, even with limited mobility

  • Wide tires and low center of gravity – better balance, less risk of falling

  • Custom handlebar, saddle, and pedals – for optimal comfort and control

  • Optional: tricycle base or extra support – if needed

An Astonic doesn't feel like a medical aid. It feels like freedom.

Who Is a Rehabilitation Bike For?

Our clients are as diverse as our bikes. We build for people with:

  • Acquired brain injury (ABI)

  • MS or neuromuscular diseases

  • Back and shoulder issues

  • Balance disorders

  • Double leg prosthetics

  • Dwarfism or atypical body proportions

  • PTSD or mental barriers

  • Seniors who want to ride safely and confidently

How Does Custom Building Work at Astonic?

Each Astonic bike is hand-built in our workshop in the Netherlands. We always start with a conversation and a personal fitting. We listen. We measure. And we build.

Our approach:

  • Intake – you tell us your story, wishes, and limitations

  • Measurements – we assess your posture, leg length, shoulder width, and more

  • Design – we sketch your ideal bike with the right components

  • Build – we assemble your bike with care, using European-quality parts

  • Adjust & test – we fine-tune everything to perfection

What Makes Our Rehabilitation Bikes Unique?

  • Made from lightweight aluminum – sturdy and agile
  • Powder coating in your color of choice – scratch-resistant and stylish

  • Gates belt drive – low maintenance and whisper-quiet

  • Magura disc brakes – maximum braking power with minimal effort

  • Optional: mid-drive motor, dual battery, longtail setup or tricycle base

Will a Rehabilitation Bike Be Reimbursed?

In many cases, yes. Think of:

  • WMO (via the municipality)

  • PGB (personal budget)

  • Health insurers (in special cases)

We’re happy to help with quotes and technical documentation for your application.

What Will It Really Bring You?

✔ Renewed confidence on the bike
✔ Reduced physical strain and overexertion
✔ More movement – boosting your recovery
✔ Less dependence on others or on a car

“Our clients often say: I didn’t think I could do this anymore. Until I got on.”
