Accessibility must be something you can experience! That was our field test at IRMA Hamburg 2026.
At the IRMA in Hamburg, we had the special opportunity to extensively test our TRAIL-MATE path system together with Robin from MOBICOURS. For us, such field tests are particularly valuable because no laboratory or theoretical assessment can replace what people in wheelchairs experience every day.
Our goal is clear: remove barriers and create paths that were previously impassable or difficult to navigate. Make every path yours.
The field test
Robin invited us to his MOBICOURS test course to put our TRAIL-MATE path system through its paces. Just a few meters in, it became clear what a difference TRAIL-MATE can make: small edges, obstacles, or gaps can be navigated by wheelchair with ease.
Where uneven terrain normally requires effort or even becomes an obstacle, TRAIL-MATE enables much more comfortable and safer progress. Robin was particularly impressed by how easy the individual elements are to transport and how quickly they can be laid out.
Robin tested the system with various driving maneuvers and gave us valuable feedback directly. It is precisely this practical feedback that helps us to continuously develop our product.
Robin's conclusion
His impression was clear: A mobile path system like TRAIL-MATE can make a real difference in many places.
Whether at events, festivals, on beaches, in parks, on meadows, or for temporary use – wherever wheelchair users have previously reached their limits, new possibilities for self-determined mobility are created.
Together for more inclusion
The exchange with Robin from MOBICOURS has once again shown how important it is to work with people who live accessibility every day. Only through honest feedback can solutions be created that really work in everyday life.
We would like to thank Robin sincerely for the open exchange, his time, and his valuable suggestions.

His goal is to support people in expanding their mobility and gaining new freedom.
This is precisely why the joint test at IRMA Hamburg was so valuable. Robin was able to assess the TRAIL-MATE path system not only from a technical point of view, but above all from the perspective of an experienced mobility trainer.
