Rediscover Freedom, No Matter Your Disability or Mobility Challenges
Life with a disability doesn’t have to mean giving up your love for nature and the outdoors. Whether you’ve recently encountered mobility challenges or have lived with a condition that limits your freedom of movement, reconnecting with the world beyond four walls is crucial for your mental and physical well-being. At Extreme Motus, we believe that everyone deserves access to the beauty and healing power of nature. Our all-terrain wheelchairs are designed to make this possible, no matter the obstacles.
This page explores the various disabilities that can lead to mobility challenges and how our wheelchairs can empower you to rediscover the joy of the outdoors. Below, you’ll find links to detailed resources about specific conditions and practical tips for overcoming them with the right mobility solutions.
Why the Outdoors Matter for Everyone
Nature has been proven to improve mental health, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. For individuals with disabilities, the outdoors can also be a space of empowerment and inclusion. With Extreme Motus all-terrain wheelchairs, barriers like rocky trails, sandy beaches, and uneven paths become navigable, allowing everyone to explore the world on their terms.
Conditions That May Lead to Mobility Challenges
Our all-terrain wheelchairs cater to a wide range of conditions, helping individuals regain their independence and confidence. Here are some disabilities and chronic conditions that might require mobility aids and how our solutions can help:
Neurological Conditions
Neurological conditions can affect movement, coordination, and balance, often making outdoor activities seem impossible. These conditions, which include injuries and diseases impacting the brain, spinal cord, or nerves, can lead to significant physical limitations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size wheelchair would you recommend?
At Extreme Motus, we offer three different sizes of all-terrain wheelchairs. The only difference between these sizes is the seat width:
- Large – 18″ wide
- Medium – 16″ wide
- Small – 14″ wide
Sam, who stars in many of our videos, uses a medium-sized wheelchair. He is approximately 5′1″ tall and weighs 85 pounds. Comparing your size to Sam’s is a great starting point.
Consider the rider’s age as well. If they are Sam’s size but still growing (e.g., a 10-year-old), it’s best to size up to a large to ensure they don’t outgrow the chair. You can add padding like blankets, towels, pool noodles, or foam to make a larger size work for smaller riders, providing peace of mind for future growth.

Can I demo a chair before buying it?
Contact us using our contact form or email us. Let us know your city, and we’ll check if there are any dealers or customers nearby to arrange a Motus Meetup.
If you purchase a chair without testing it, we offer a 30-day return policy. If the chair doesn’t work for you, you can return it, but you will need to cover shipping costs both ways.
How can I get more information about your chairs?
Read our introduction article on the Extreme Motus All-Terrain Wheelchair, or contact us directly. We’re happy to answer your questions.

Can I rent a chair?
Yes, rentals depend on location. Contact us, and we’ll provide a list of locations where you can rent the Extreme Motus All-Terrain Wheelchair.
Are parking brakes optional on the Extreme Motus All-Terrain Wheelchair?
No. Every Extreme Motus wheelchair comes equipped with individual rear-wheel brakes. These brakes control speed during descents and act as parking brakes to keep the chair stationary when needed.

Can you customize the wheelchair for specific needs?
Some customers request modifications that we cannot accommodate. In Utah, we refer such requests to Dan O’Crowley at the Utah Assistive Technology Program at Utah State University. Depending on your needs, you may want to research similar programs at universities or institutions near you.
Are there any grants available to help purchase an all-terrain wheelchair?
Yes, several grants and funding opportunities can help make these wheelchairs more accessible. Explore our guide to various grants and the application process.
