Full Description
The eTrike our electric assist all terrain wheelchair. Suitable for a wide range of users – those who would like some assistance to travel off road or active users who want to go further, faster or tackle more challenging terrain.
The eTrike compliments our existing range of Trikes, ideal for everyday outdoor use whether it be on muddy woodland trail, a trip to the shops, a walk in the park. It has the flexibility to be ridden in three different ways:
Manually by pushing the drive levers allowing the rider to have clean, dry hands whatever the weather.
Power assist by using the twist throttle or thumb throttle.
Hybrid by pushing drive levers and twisting throttle simultaneously.
This revolutionary all terrain wheelchair allows you the ability to combine manual power with electric assist as and when you want. The distance range will depend on conditions, user weight, speed and terrain, but as a rough guide between 8 and 20 miles..
If you already own a Mountain Trike there is an electric assist kit which can be fitted to your existing Trike.
Cognitive Abilities
For safe independent use, users must understand cause + effect (action = result). Independent use requires directional understanding (i.e. moving the wheels in one direction results in matching chair movement), problem solving (i.e. combine + time movements to get from A to B), and judgment (ability to learn that if something is unsafe they should not do it).
Functional Abilities
Users must have sufficient vision, trunk control and enough upper extremity grip, strength and stamina to steer and/or propel the chair. For foot propulsion, users must also have functional use of at least one lower extremity. Their adjustable foot and armrests and seat position make them appropriate for users requiring minimal positioning. This chair may not be appropriate for those with visual deficits, uncontrolled seizures, bilateral upper extremity weakness and those with poor trunk control.
Environment
Standard wheelchairs can be used both indoors and outdoors. They perform best on firm, flat surfaces such as pavement, groomed footpaths, cycle paths and in and around home. While it can be used outdoors, they not intended to be used on rough terrain, slopes, loose gravel, or sand. Their relatively small turn radius makes them appropriate for indoor use where space is limited.
Activities
Their maneuverability and small turn radius make standard wheelchairs ideal for use in tight spaces (stores, elevators, public washrooms, public transit etc.). While they can be used outdoors, they are best for activities done on flat level surfaces like urban sightseeing or sidewalk commuting.
