Pau’s accident
Pau Bach suffered a motorbike accident at 18 and was left quadriplegic. As he was unable to find mobility solutions that covered his needs, he began to design a prototype he could use. This would later become the first Batec handbike.

Our history
It all started with the personal story of our founder and inventor, Pau Bach.
Pau suffered a motorbike accident at just 18, which left him quadriplegic. Frustrated by a lack of mobility solutions that adapted to his lifestyle and needs, he decided to take control and create a customised mobility solution.
That was how the first Batec handbike was born, allowing him to enjoy a new form of mobility, do sport, go out with friends, travel and move around freely in his daily life. With time, Pau decided to share his handbike with the world, and thus, in 2006, Batec Mobility was born.
