As you know, Philippe MEYNARD, whose full story you can read on his website https://www.avc-tousconcernes.org/, has become a loyal DAMIUS partner, and we are proud of the journey we have shared, which you can (re)discover in this article.
The DAMIUS tricycle, a means to fight against strokes
By mounting his DAMIUS tricycle and undertaking numerous journeys across France for the prevention of Cerebrovascular Accidents (CVA/Stroke), he has made it his mission to first and foremost enjoy himself at the controls of his tricycle, but also to spread the word in the various cities he passes through.
It is quite naturally and with great pleasure that we continue to support each other in our common adventures.
One could say that history is repeating itself in a wonderful way, as it was in 2015 that we provided Philippe with the very first prototype of our iconic EVASION Tricycle, which he tested on the banks along the Garonne lateral canal to Toulouse, then along the Canal du Midi to Sète.
This was followed by many routes, each as impressive as the last, such as the Tours de France, ultimately resulting in several tens of thousands of kilometers on the odometer.
And the adventure continues in 2023 with the testing of the prototype of our new DAMIUS model, the SUPREME Tricycle, on a 150-kilometer route completing a loop starting from our premises in Salon-de-Provence and passing through Avignon and Arles.
The somewhat crazy objective: to complete the Corsican “GT20” in September 2023 on a route of over 1,000 km, with significant elevation changes and reinforced endurance, which should not pose a problem for our new SUPREME tricycle and its 130 Nm torque French VALEO motor.
