Full Description
An innovative new approach to off-road design, the Trekinetic K2 is an adaptable and empowering manual wheelchair with a host of clever and useful features designed to promote exploration and encourage independence. A lightweight molded carbon fibre seat shell, tool-less adjustable wheel camber, dynamic braking and a stable three-wheel design are among the unique benefits of the K2.
Built in shock-absorption and seat recline help to manage pressure and ensure a smooth ride, even on very bumpy ground. The dynamic braking system allows the user to stop, slow or even turn the chair without touching the wheels. A clever ‘Varicam’ axle provides wheel camber adjustment without the need for tools, meaning the K2 can be set to a wide stance for outdoor adventuring, then set to a more compact and upright wheel position for indoor use.
By putting the drive wheels at the front, the K2 can make easy work of even the roughest terrain, while a large and capable rear castor provides plenty of stability and completely removes the risk of tipping.
For transport the K2 can be folded down into a package only slightly larger than the main seat shell.

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.
