The off road wheel chair

BBC:

A designer who has spent most of his career working on parts for Formula One cars has come up with a new, off-road wheelchair.

The Trekinetic K2 dispenses with the old tubular chassis and uses a carbon fibre monocoque instead.

Designer Mike Spindle was inspired to create the off-road chair when he saw someone wheeling through an airport lounge.

The K2 was launched at the Mobility Roadshow in Gloucestershire.

The K2 has three wheels - two large ones at the front that can take mountain bike tyres - and a smaller one at the back.

The company says it is ideally suited for off-road use but can be just as useful in towns and cities too.

The wheels have an easily adjustable camber so that the chair can have a slimmer profile for going through doorways and a wider - and more stable - 24 degree camber for outdoor activities.

There are several photos at the link including one model with an umbrella. You don't usually think of wheel chairs in the off road enviroment, but I I can see where the concept will be an improvement over the current models in the urban areas too. My 93 year old Dad has recently become reliant on a wheel chair.
