Trekinetic GTE is an off-road ultra-light, all-terrain powered wheelchair like no other.
The Trekinetic GTE is an ultra-lightweight, all-terrain powerchair. Using Formula 1 technology, the Trekinetic GTE MK3 was designed as an off-road powerchair that pushes the limits of what a powerchair should be capable of.
Key Features Summary
- Built in the UK from start to finish.
- It can be fitted into virtually any car
- One of the lightest in the world at 34kg, including the battery
- 11.8 Ah Lithium-ion battery is safe for air travel
- Range of up to 30km
- Simply flip the levers to switch from power to manual mode
- Crash-tested to ISO 7176-19 - optional 5-Point Vehicle Restraint System.
Why does the Trekinetic GTE have only 3 wheels?
A three-sided structure is more robust as body weight is distributed evenly across all wheels, improving stability and traction, especially on uneven surfaces.
Big wheels at the front enable the Trekinetic GTE powerchair to handle virtually any terrain, over mud, sand, snow and gravel. Still, it is also versatile enough to use around town, making light work of cobbles and cracked pavements. This means less time staring at the floor and more time enjoying the view.
Trekinetic has a super lightweight carbon fibre monocoque chassis. This reduces the chair's weight while maintaining its strength, resulting in a seat that more closely resembles the human form. This typically means less padding and more support.
Easy to transport
The Trekinetic GTE folds down and fits into a regular car. It’ll fit into a small SUV with the wheels still on. Alternatively, the front wheels can be removed with a simple button click, and the rear castor folds down behind the seat.
For those who need to stay in their seat while in a vehicle, the Trekinetic GTE is crash-tested to ISO 7176-19 when using the Trekinetic 5-Point Vehicle Restraint System.
