Mountain Trike FAQs

The Mountain Trike is a highly durable, self-propelled wheelchair designed specifically for off-road and all-terrain use. Unlike traditional wheelchairs, it features a unique lever drive system, allowing users to navigate uneven and challenging terrains—from woodlands and hilly landscapes to rocky mountain trails—all while keeping their hands clean.

This innovative propulsion system reduces the effort needed to move, making it particularly beneficial for individuals with limited upper body strength. Compared to traditional manual wheelchairs, it offers a smoother, more efficient ride, making outdoor exploration easier and more enjoyable. More than just a mobility aid, the Mountain Trike is a long-term investment in independence, allowing users with complex mobility needs to stay active and engaged in the world around them.

The Mountain Trike is also adaptable for children and is available in custom sizing. Whether adjusting an adult-sized Trike to fit a child’s measurements or designing a fully customised children’s model, the Mountain Trike ensures that individuals of all ages and mobility levels can experience its benefits.
