Three wheel chair

Hi,

Have been reading up my latest SIA magazine and seen something remarkable. What do you think? The web site is: http://www.trekinetic.co.uk/home.html

Sounds interesting.

I have seen that one before, but the one below (designed by two ingineers from the University of Bath) is even more promising to go off-roading I think. Check out the video also. Pretty cool stuff.

Hi Luc,

Many thanks for this. It was very interesting. What I liked with the Trikinetic was 1 foldablity, 2 the capacity for camber adjustment, and 3 it's obvious versatility from house to countryside. I get the feeling that the trike designed at Bath, is designed with being an additional to the more conventional indoor chair. I may have missed something in the information. Still an inspiring idea.

Hi Chris,

You are right, looking at this again. The two types of chairs appear to serve somewhat different purposes.
