Thanks to our proven OPG 3.0 technology (optimized physiological gait), the Genium X4 supports exceptionally smooth real-time transitions from sitting to standing, walking, cycling and beyond.
The Genium X4 is ready to go the moment you are. Experience easy first-step initiation thanks to advanced Start to walk functionality.
Whether you’re racing uphill in the park with your kids or climbing stairs at work, the optimized slope ascent and the stairs and obstacles function make every incline a breeze, regardless of the surface or slope.
Move through crowds, tight workspaces and kid-sized playgrounds like never before. The Genium X4 gives you the exact level of real-time control and support you need to maneuver in confined spaces.
The new dynamic backward movement has been designed to make opening heavy doors, pulling hand trucks and many other everyday tasks easier for you. Just step, pull and go.
The Genium X4 has advanced sensors and a control device that detects when you start (and stop) pedalling. It switches to the correct resistance level immediately – no adjustments or movement patterns required.
The Genium X4 is fully waterproof (IP68) and corrosion-resistant, even in salt or chlorinated water. So go for it: hit the beach, go swimming, or shower with greater peace of mind.
