TREKINETIC - Ground Breaking Wheelchairs

Filed under: Rehab

Throughout the ages, technology and innovation have been improving nearly every product on the market, except for mouse traps and wheelchairs. They haven't invented a better mouse trap, but the folks at Trekinetic have revolutionized the wheelchair for those high-octane enthusiasts.

By challenging conventional layouts and by evolutionary development, we will introduce a superior product, that will hopefully capture the imagination of both wheelchair users and the able bodied alike. Born from a philosophy to seek out radical solutions to complex engineering issues, utilising cutting edge materials and processes, we will look to improve the mundane image of the manual wheelchair. In so doing, we will seek to offer an enhanced lifestyle and future for their occupants"
