Batec Mobility Welded Docking Block
The Batec Welded Docking Block is an ultra-streamlined, permanent connection interface designed for active manual wheelchair users who want to attach a Batec handbike (whether manual, hybrid, or electric) to their rigid-frame wheelchair with the absolute minimum amount of weight and bulk.
Unlike the standard Batec docking system—which relies on a removable crossbar secured to the wheelchair frame with heavy metal clamps—the Welded Bloc is integrated directly into the wheelchair’s front frame during the manufacturing process. It provides a clean, permanent receiver port that is always ready for your handbike. Available in Titanium for Titanium Chairs as well
Key Features & Benefits
-
Extreme Weight Savings: By eliminating the heavy steel clamps, bolts, and adjustable crossbar of a standard clamp-on kit, the welded block significantly reduces the overall weight added to your manual wheelchair. This keeps your chair as light and responsive as possible when pushing without the Batec attached.
-
Zero Play & Maximum Rigidity: Because the block is physically welded to the frame, there is absolutely zero risk of the mounting hardware slipping, twisting, or rotating over time. This permanent bond provides unmatched structural rigidity, allowing for highly efficient power transfer and a much more stable, secure feel when driving at high speeds or navigating rough terrain.
-
Sleek, Clean Aesthetics: Standard clamp-on kits can look bulky and clutter the clean lines of a high-performance custom wheelchair. The Welded Bloc is incredibly discreet, preserving the clean aesthetic of your frame and leaving your front footprint completely unobstructed.
-
Seamless "Easy-Fix" Compatibility: Despite being permanently welded, the receiver mechanism functions exactly like the standard Batec dock. You retain the legendary, effortless connection speed—allowing you to attach or detach your Batec handbike in just seconds.
-
Improved Front Clearance: Standard clamp-on bars can sometimes interfere with tight leg positions or custom footrests. The welded block is positioned precisely to clear your legs while optimizing the ideal center of gravity for handbike propulsion.

*Note: Because this block is welded directly to the wheelchair's aluminum or titanium tubing, it cannot be added as an aftermarket modification to an existing chair. It must be specified during the initial design phase when ordering a custom, rigid-frame wheelchair from compatible manufacturers who specialize in custom frame integration. Contact our sales team to confirm compatibility or if you have any further questions needing answered.
