Terrain wheelchairs

Terrain wheelchairs travel where standard conventional wheelchairs will bog down, including over gravel, grass, in water and through sand and ice! They are available in electric power and manual models. People with strong upper body strength often prefer manual all terrain or sports models specially designed to suit their favorite outdoors lifestyle.

Wheelchairs have come a long way. No longer are they simply a useful device for those with limited or no mobility to get from one place to another. Wheelchair improvements are being made each day from new designs in sport wheelchairs to amazing all terrain wheelchairs. Any improvement, no matter how small, which increases the safety of a person in a wheelchair, is a great improvement.Terrain wheelchairs available as both manual and power chairs though they are typically miles apart in cost. Manual all terrain wheelchairs are relatively cheap while electric power wheelchairs are very expensive. I think my next upgrade will be to an all terrain powerchair as I love the beach.

The problem with many 4×4 powerchairs is size. They are difficult to navigate a standard house in – forget hallway u-turn’s - the wide tyres stick and mark tiled floors and they screw up carpet and mats.
