On either side of the seat there is an elongated wheel that has large diameter and narrow width. Another important factor to consider when deciding on an all-terrain chair is its weight. A typical all-terrain wheelchair is considerably heavier than a standard one, which could have a significant impact on the transporting and propelling the chair. It is therefore crucial to select a chair that is light but has a sturdy frame. A wheelchair or other accessory that is not properly adjusted or fitted can cause damage or injury to a user's health.

All-terrain wheelchairs are a type manual wheelchair that can be used to travel on rough terrain. It has larger, thicker tires than standard wheelchairs to improve stability and reduce punctures. It also comes with a hand brake system that works like a bicycle's brake system to give the user more stopping power. Seat Contrary to conventional wheelchairs, which have tiny castors in the front, which often get stuck on uneven surfaces or simply don't have enough grip to tackle them All terrain wheelchairs come with large pneumatic bike tyres on the rear that allow for a greater amount of room for adventure and make it easier to maneuver through grass or muddy/rocky areas.

Turning is done by turning the wrist of your dominant hand. The turning joystick can be mounted on the right or left lever. To stop the chair you must push back the brake levers, like you would on the bike. All terrain wheelchairs are the ideal solution for those with mobility issues but live an active and adventurous lifestyle. All terrain chairs can help you get to where you would like to go, whether you're taking a drive through cobblestone streets watch your daughter play the next big match or enjoying the fresh air at the farmers' market. Creating a comfortable seating system for an all-terrain wheelchair requires careful measurement and evaluation. A seat that is too steep can cause the user's hips to move in a painful way or force them into an incorrect pelvic angle. It is essential to check the height of the seat to the floor by sitting in the chair and making sure that the point of the middle finger lines up with the axle, indicating the correct position and effective self-propulsion. Frame An all terrain self propelled wheelchair can handle all kinds of outdoor terrain, like sand, mud or snow. These chairs feature large front wheels that are capable of moving over uneven surfaces without causing any discomfort or injury. They are designed to be used in a variety of environments including beaches, hiking trails, or even swimming pools. The chairs can be tailored to include add-on accessories that suit the user's lifestyle or clinical needs. All terrain wheelchairs are designed to help those with mobility impairments to rediscover their sense of adventure. This is achieved by allowing them to join their families and friends in outdoor activities and in the process reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation. When wheelchairs are used to navigate uneven or unstable terrain, and, in particular when trying to climb steep slopes, they can face many challenges. The wheelchair user may not be able to climb out of a depression, or even under obstacles in the path, for example. A wheelchair with small wheels can also pose a challenge. They can often end up stuck on kerbs and cobbles. This can be very difficult for the person who uses it. In certain situations, the occupant can be forced to stop, or even get out of the chair. Trekinetic's all-terrain chairs feature a unique dual tube frame that combines two tubes of strength into one. This makes an frame that is sturdy and solid which makes the chair more efficient in terms of energy transfer. The occupant is able to move forward using the levers located on both sides of the chair. This is similar to the way bicycles are used. To stop, the user simply uses brakes (these can be altered to work with just one hand, similar to the eTrike model). Another major characteristic of our all-terrain wheelchairs is that they are light making them easy to push and carry. They can also fold easily and fit into a majority of vehicles, making them ideal for those who travel. Tyres Wheelchair tyres are crucial to the performance of any wheelchair and should always be installed correctly. If the tyres are not properly or overinflated, they will become less rigid and this affects handling, cornering and stopping. A properly inflated tyre distributes the weight of the user over the tread pattern, ensuring maximum stability and agility. Incorrect tyre pressure can also result in premature wear, particularly on the sides of the tread or in the middle of the tyre. It is recommended that the tyres be checked regularly and, if required, filled with air. The tyre's pressure is typically written on the tyre, therefore the process of checking it can be accomplished quickly. A wheelchair with pneumatic tires is more suitable for off-road usage than a standard manual or electric chair. Pneumatic tyres are able to withstand bumps, jolts, and rough terrains like grass and mud. They have treads that are deeper, which are more suited to wheelchairs that are used indoors. This helps them grip surfaces like dropped kerbs. Pneumatic tyres are also lighter than tyres made of solid rubber and this can improve the way that a wheelchair is handled when it is driven by an attendant. A good wheelchair shop will offer advice on the most suitable tyres for your circumstances and the type of wheelchair you're using. Another alternative is a wheelchair fitted with foam-filled tires, which provide a balance between comfort and durability. They are puncture-resistant and provide some shock absorption compared to pneumatic tires, but they're not as effective at dealing with rough outdoor terrain as pneumatic tyres. An all terrain self propelled wheelchair is a more durable version of a standard electric or manual wheelchair that will enable the user to conquer more difficult surfaces like tarmac, grass, mud and cobbles with ease. A sturdy frame and mountain bike style pneumatic tires will allow the wheelchair user to go on more excursions to the countryside or to zoos, tourist attractions or even visit friends and family. The tyres are quick release and big enough to deal with even the most rugged 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 car.
