Kuschall Champion

Behind every küschall wheelchair
development there is a story! After his
swimming accident at the age of 16,
Rainer Küschall lost all mobility and
freedom. Despite the fear, he was always
determined to overcome the daily challenges
he faced. One of these was to
transfer from his wheelchair to his car.
At that time, he always needed another
person to put the wheelchair in and out
of the car but at least he had the freedom
to drive … until a warm summer day
when he started to feel unwell. Due to his
injury, Rainer cannot sweat, which creates
a huge risk to his health. Realising
the immediate danger, he pulled over at
a petrol station, opened the car door, and
waved at two people standing outside in
a desperate attempt to get some water.
When the people saw him, they were so
afraid of his disability, that they immediately
closed the car door again. Rainer
was trapped in his own car! That was
the moment Rainer became determined
to take the next step to independence;
making a wheelchair that he would be
able to fold, move over his lap and put on
the passenger seat. Thus, the idea of the
küschall Champion was born.
Twenty-eight years on, the küschall
Champion is the only wheelchair model
of its type, with its tried and trusted design
that has stood the test of time making
it as popular today as when it was first
launched.
