With these pictures, I hope to show some basic needs or ideas that could be available to wheelchair users or the industry at large. Think of this chair as a tractor with attachments or a "transformer" toy that opens up a world of possibilities or functions to users who use it in their own way. Wheelchair users know what works for them. What a chair like this chair can do, may surprise you.
All In One
Single-point, quick release detachment of:
1. wheels
2. front wheels and footrests
3. seat, trailer, luggage rack
Interchangeable sections to quickly adapt for:
1. hand-cycling
2. off-road use
3. easy and highly efficient stowage
4. easy loading
No side-frames for safer transfers
All components are designed specifically
for the chair for greater efficiency and less weight
single front or double front for three or four wheel configuration
fully adjustable axle sleeves and clamps
This chair allows many people that might not ordinarily get out to get out in ways that so many take for granted.
Other Possibilities
Folding Frame
This chair, as with most chairs, can be adapted or tailored for personal use by selection from a variety of tires, wheels, seats, seat-backs, push rims, casters and additional items that are commercially available. An example of this would be using wide off-road tires vs narrow, high-pressure street tires. There are basic units and a wide variety of upgrades in various price ranges depending on need or preference.
