Strong together – our partners
We are convinced that good ideas become even better ones when we work together. That is why we rely on strong partners and a lively network in our work. Below, you will gain a brief insight into those who support us and work in the background of pfautec, in addition to our numerous employees.
Cooperation with the Heilpädagogischen Hilfe in Bersenbrück (HPH)

Heilpädagogische Hilfe Bersenbrück itself maintains around 30 facilities and services in the joint municipalities of Artland, Bersenbrück, Fürstenau and in the town of Bramsche and looks after around 1,900 children, adolescents and adults with mental and psychological impairments.

FAQ
Why don't you offer your products in stores or relevant chains?
For a takeaway product like a DVD or bedding, that can work. However, our bikes are products that require explanation and we would like to give you the best possible advice. In the interest of our customers, we therefore remain
specialist trade-oriented.
I would like to buy a vehicle from you. Do I have to take a test ride?
Absolutely! In principle, we recommend a test ride before any purchase. This ensures that we find the best help for you. A test ride is also especially important for people who want to switch from a bicycle to a tricycle. Our experience has shown that it is precisely here that there are often initial difficulties when it comes to getting used to the new riding behaviour. With a test ride you get an initial feel for your new bike and make sure that you don't buy a "pig in a poke".
Do I need a driver's licence or an insurance licence plate for your electric-assisted models?
No, you do not need it, because – unless otherwise requested – we deliver all vehicles only in combination with pedal assistance. This means that the electric motor only provides assistance when you actively pedal. A speed higher than 6 km/h is not possible without pedal assistance (so-called pedelec system) and is therefore not subject to a driving licence or insurance.
My dealer does have one of your products in stock, but I would like to try a different model.
Not every local dealer has the ability or space to offer multiple models. However, there are now a large number of specialist shops that stock a wide range of our vehicles for testing. Use our dealer search or contact us. We will be happy to assist you in your search. Click here to go to the dealer locator.
If I buy a vehicle from you, can I get money back from my health insurance retrospectively?
Clear answer: Unfortunately not. Don't be fooled by advertising slogans and claims made by other vendors. Health insurance companies can only cover the costs in exceptional cases or if certain conditions are met. This includes, for example, proof of medical necessity, age under 16, etc. So before you buy, be sure to talk to your health insurance company first and clarify any cost coverage. You will also find out all the necessary information about the requirements and the exact procedures for submitting an application.
