The versatility of the RowErg has made possible several innovative add-ons by other companies. Concept2 has no relationship with, has not tested the products and does not endorse the following companies.
Altering the Concept2 RowErg with third party products such as those listed below voids our warranty.
The Concept2 SkiErg offers accessible exercise without the need for special adaptations. It is easily used by those with lower body limitation or injuries and delivers quality cardiovascular training. The long drive cords enable the SkiErg to be used from a seated position, working your core and upper body, whether from a stool, chair or other seat.
With some simple adaptations, it can accommodate an even broader range of accessibility needs.
The SkiErg can be mounted on a wall to provide the most compact option. Wall mounting also allows the greatest flexibility for setting up seating like a stool, higher seat, or rolling up a wheelchair.
The optional floor stand, with its anti-skid deck and caster wheels, makes the SkiErg instantly mobile, adding flexibility on location. Place a stool right on the floor stand or use with most wheelchairs. The floor stand comes in a standard and a wide version.
For use with the SkiErg2 (the black SkiErg manufactured from August 2014 to present), the SkiErg Handle Cord Extensions lengthen the handle cord to enable use of the SkiErg2 from a seated position. Installation is easy and the extensions add approximately 32 inches to each handle cord. The extensions feature a convenient connection link, so grips can be quickly changed to allow for use in the standing position. The kit includes grips that can be used when standing. Sold as an accessory item. Compatible with the SkiErg2 only. To purchase, call 800.245.5676.
The following sport categories are developed to create fair racing on the RowErg. Conditions affecting athlete’s ability and defining sport categories must be permanent in nature. Organ removal, by itself, does not qualify someone for any para rowing sport category. Pain, by itself does not qualify someone, Disability experienced post-surgery is a temporary condition and does not qualify someone for any para category.
Note: If you are uncertain or have any questions please contact Alexis Demars at Concept2 (alexisd@concept2.com or call 800.245.5676 ext. 3086).
This category is for rowers who have minimal to no trunk function (i.e. shoulder function only). A PR1 class rower is able to apply force predominantly using the arms and/or shoulders. These athletes will likely also have poor sitting balance. In addition, these athletes are not able to use the sliding seat to transfer their power to the ergometer because of significantly weakened function or mobility of the lower limbs. Eligible rowers may typically have but are not limited to Cerebral Palsy – affecting both leg and trunk function, or neurological impairment with a complete lesion at T12 level or an incomplete lesion at T10 level.
This category is for rowers who have functional use of the trunk and who are not able to use the sliding seat to transfer their power to the ergometer because of significantly weakened function or mobility of the lower limbs. Examples for this class would be bilateral around knee amputation, or significantly impaired quadriceps, or neurological impairment equivalent to a complete lesion at L3 level, or an incomplete lesion at L1.
This category is for rowers who have functional use of their leg(s),trunk and arm(s) for rowing and who can utilize the sliding seat. In addition, these athletes have permanently impaired vision. These athletes have reduced or no vision. Maximum vision of 10% of normal in best eye with best correction from visual acuity above 02/60 up to visual acuity of 06/60 and or field of vision between 5% and 20%.
This category is for rowers who have functional use of their leg(s), trunk and arm(s) for rowing and who can utilize the sliding seat. These athletes have tested 75% or less for intellectual quotient.
This category is for rowers who have a genetic dwarfism condition, as established by the International Dwarf Sports Federation (“IDSF”). Examples of this category would be athletes with achondroplasia, hypochondroplasia, pseudoachondroplasia, SED, Kneist, metatropic dysplasia. Current IDSF criteria: Height for disproportionate dysplasia shall not exceed 5 feet 2 inches for males (157.5 cm), female maximum height shall not exceed 5 foot (152.4 cm). Height for a proportionate dysplasia shall not exceed 5 foot (152.4 cm) for males, female maximum height shall not exceed 4 foot 10 inches (147.3 cm).
FES technology allows paraplegic athletes to stimulate paralyzed leg muscles. Rowers control their legs by pressing a button on the rowing machine handle, which then transmits electrical impulses through electrodes to the nerves controlling their leg muscles.

In the assisted return category, the athletes receive help from a third-party in returning to the catch position.
