The PowerTrike™
is a simple, cost effective and versatile accessory which transforms
a wheelchair into a multi-terrain motorised three-wheeled vehicle
in just seconds. Using a simple coupling system almost any manual
wheelchair can be transformed with a PowerTrike™.
Unlike other motorised wheelchair products on the market, the
PowerTrike™ can travel at speeds of up to 11 mph and can
tackle gravel, grass and steep gradients with ease. It is also
quiet, environmentally friendly, folds neatly into the boot
of almost any car and fully complies with current highway legislation.
It has a battery life of around 20 miles and it can be fully
recharged in 1-4 hours.
At under £2,000, the PowerTrike™ is the most cost
effective way ever to motorise a wheelchair. It revolutionises
the opportunities to 'get around' for wheelchair users.

Designer of the PowerTrike™,
Vincent Ross, a wheelchair user himself, acknowledges
that it is a highly significant breakthrough in the
mobility market. He commented: "The PowerTrike™
is a very simple concept and because of this many people
who have seen it cannot believe it has only just been
invented."
"The simplicity is the real engineering breakthrough
and it is because of this simplicity that the price
is so low. It represents exceptional value in what is
generally regarded as a pricey market."
I say... "If you can afford one
of these, get one..........they are simply brilliant
!!! " |
