All Terrain Self Propelled Wheelchair
This wheelchair can handle any outdoor terrain, such as mud, gravel and cobbles. It can also be used on snow or grass. This type of wheelchair is also suitable for indoor use.
This chair is self-propelled allowing the user to control their own speed. This allows them to be more independent. They often have a variety of customizable options that meet the needs of each individual.
Wheels
A well-constructed all-terrain wheelchair can allow you to explore outdoors. It can be difficult to navigate different terrains. It is essential to choose the correct wheels, tyres, and the casters for your wheelchair, to take advantage of the many benefits of spending time outdoors.
Wheels and tyres play a important role in the smoothness speed, maneuverability and speed of your wheelchair. They can also have a major impact on your safety and comfort.

The all-terrain wheelchair that is patent-pending consists of two elongated frame members that are generally parallel to each other. rails and a steering control platform with an operable ground-engaging pneumatic wheel which may be selectively locked in a fixed angle position. A seat is placed on the rear of the frame members. on each side of the seat is an elongated wheel with a large diameter, narrow width ground-engaging wheel.
Another important factor to consider when deciding on an all-terrain chair is the weight. The typical all-terrain chair is heavier than a standard model which makes it difficult to transport and move the chair. It is crucial to choose a chair that is lightweight yet robust frame.
A wheelchair or an accessory that isn't fitted or adjusted correctly could cause injury or harm to the health of a user. It is recommended that wheelchair users are trained in the use and maintenance of their wheelchairs.

All-terrain wheelchairs are a kind of manual wheelchair that can be used to travel on uneven terrain. It has larger, more robust wheels than standard wheelchairs to increase stability and decrease the risk of sustaining punctures. It also features a hand-brake system that functions as a bike's to give the user more stopping power.
Seat
Contrary to conventional wheelchairs, which have tiny castors in the front that often get stuck on uneven surfaces or just lack the grip to tackle them All terrain wheelchairs feature large pneumatic bike tyres in the rear. They give it far more scope for adventure and make it easy to maneuver through grass or rocky/muddy areas. They can also traverse dropped kerbs and gravel paths and many other obstacles that you might encounter on your travels.
You might require an all-terrain wheelchair to regain your freedom when the jolts and bumps of everyday life cause you to feel tired. You can walk around the countryside by foot or visit your favorite outdoor destination.
The larger tyres of an all terrain chair mean that it's also easier to turn than a traditional wheelchair. To turn, you turn the wrist with your dominant hand (the turning joystick is connected to a lever) which turns the rear wheel (or the eTrike adds an electric motor to drive the front). When you want to stop the chair, you push back on the brake levers as you would on the brakes on a bicycle and then apply the brakes.
All terrain wheelchairs are a great solution for people who have mobility issues but live an active and exciting lifestyle. If you're headed to the sports ground to cheer on your daughter in the next big game, driving down cobblestone streets in the old town or enjoying the fresh air at a farmer's market, an all-terrain chair can take you to the places you've always wanted to go.
Making a comfortable seating arrangement for an all terrain wheelchair requires careful measurement and assessment. A seat slope too steep can cause the user's hips to flex in a way that is uncomfortable or force them into an incorrect pelvic angle. Sitting in the chair, it is essential to measure the height of the front seat from the floor. The point of the middle fingers should line up with the axle. This indicates proper alignment and efficient self-propulsion.
Frame
All wheelchairs for terrain can be used on various surfaces such as mud or sand. These chairs have large front wheels which can maneuver over uneven surfaces without causing the occupant any discomfort or damage. These chairs are suitable for use in a variety of different environments, such as hiking trails or beaches. They can be customized to include accessories that suit the individual's lifestyle and needs.
All terrain wheelchairs are made to aid people with mobility disabilities to find their inner adventure. This is achieved by allowing them to be part of their family and friends in outdoor adventures, and in doing so reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation.
Conventional wheelchairs face many difficulties when trying to navigate uneven or unstable terrain particularly when trying to climb inclines. The person using the wheelchair may not be able out of a depression, or even under an obstacle on the way for example.
Another issue is that conventional wheelchairs have tiny front wheels that often are stuck in kerbs and cobbles, and this can be extremely difficult for the person using the chair. In certain situations, the occupant can be forced to stop, or even get themselves out of the chair.
Trekinetic's all-terrain wheelchairs use a unique dual tube framework that combines two tubes of strength into one. This provides a frame that is both robust and sturdy and makes the chair more efficient when it comes to energy transfer.
The occupant can move forward using the levers located on both sides of the chair. This is similar to the way bicycles are used. To stop, the occupant simply applies brakes (these can be modified to operate using only one hand, similar to the eTrike model).
Another great feature of our all-terrain wheelchairs is the fact that they are lightweight, which makes them easier to push and move. They are also easy to fold and can fit into most vehicles, making them perfect for those who travel.
Tyres
Wheelchair tyres are essential to the performance of any wheelchair and should always be properly fitted. Inflating tyres too much or too low will make the wheelchair less stable and can impact handling, cornering, and stopping. A properly inflated tyre is able to distribute the weight of the user across the tread pattern to ensure maximum stability and agility. Incorrect pressure of the tyre can result in premature wear, particularly on the sides of the tread or in the centre of the tyre. Ideally, the tyres should be checked regularly and if needed, topped up with air. My Mobility Scooters is usually written on the tyre, so checking it is quickly.
A chair with pneumatic tyres is more suitable for use off-road than an ordinary manual or electric chair. Pneumatic tyres can withstand bumps, jolts and rough terrain such as grass and mud. Typically they have deeper treads than the tyres on wheelchairs intended for indoor use and this helps to grip surfaces like dropped kerbs.
Pneumatic tyres weigh less than tyres made of solid rubber, which will allow wheelchairs to be handled more easily by a caregiver. A reputable wheelchair shop will provide advice on the best tyres for your circumstances and the type of wheelchair you're using.
A wheelchair with foam-filled tires is an alternative. They offer a good balance between durability and comfort. They are puncture resistant and offer some shock absorption compared to pneumatic tyres, but they are not as good as pneumatic tyres when it is dealing with the rough terrain outdoors.
A self-propelled, all-terrain wheelchair is a stronger version of a standard manual or electric wheelchair that enables the user to conquer more difficult surfaces such as tarmac, grass, mud and cobbles with confidence. A sturdy frame and mountain bike style pneumatic tires will let the user take more trips in the countryside and zoos, as well as at tourist attractions or on visits to friends and family. The tyres are quick release and large enough to deal with the toughest terrain, but the wheels can be folded down and the wheelchair compacted into a small shape ready to be tucked away in the the back seat of a vehicle.
