All Terrain Wheel Chair Models

A collaborative effort between the National Park Service and Indiana University, the non-profit organization features on its web site a wide variety of manual and powered models, along with color photographs, descriptions, and dimensions.

NCA does not sell, promote or endorse any products and publishes information on all terrain models and other mobility equipment as a service to site visitors.

The organization has positioned itself to serve as a catalyst to promote:

1. Awareness of inclusion of people with disabilities in parks, recreation and tourism
   
2. The spirit and intent of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Rehabilitation Act and other disability legislation.

The following all terrain models are detailed on the NCA website:

Manual Wheelchairs: Hippocampe, Landee, Quickie XTR, Seeker Wheelchair, and Terra Trek.

Power Wheelchairs: Cad Weazle, Extreem 4x4, Irv 2000, Omega Trac, and Trax.

In addition to the NCA, a simple web search will yield a plethora of commercial and "paid link" sites with a wide variety of mobility systems that may serve your recreational interests.

As with all mobility equipment, carefully evaluate models based on functionality, fit and comfort, available servicing, access to parts, portability, and warranties.

Read product reviews (online and offline). And, whenever possible, talk with people who have bought the model you are considering to ascertain satisfaction levels.
