All-Terrain Wheelchair with Tracks – Action Trackchair

There are many different accessories for the Action Trackchair, they come at a price, but some will be hard to live without. There are practical items such as upgraded battery chargers $133, utility racks $167, and 4 point harnesses $167. And creature comforts like the cup holder $67, contoured seating upgrade $130, even an umbrella holder $67. These are just a few of what seem like an endless amount of options to improve and customize the Action Trackchair.

Certain all-terrain wheelchairs with tracks give the buyer an option of track style. Type II tracks are less aggressive and provide a better ride on hard surfaces. If you plan to use your Action Trackchair around the city or for pushing snow off your driveway type II tracks are a good choice.

Type I tracks are designed to perform better off-road in terrain like snow and mud. They have the look of an off-road knobby tire. The trade-off is that these more aggressive tracks give a bouncy ride on hard surfaces.

Pros and Cons of the Action Trackchair

Pros: 

Independence – Gives a wheelchair user independence to drive off-road.

Customize – Many options allow the user to customize their ride to fit the activities they want to do.

Standing – Some models allow the user to be in a standing position. I was at an activity recently where a man used a standing model and said, “This is the first time I’ve been able to stand in 5 years.” It was a very special moment. 

Cons:

Heavy – Depending on the model the Action Trackchair can weigh between 400 – 490 pounds. 

Expensive – Depending on the model price varies from $11,785 – $18,335

Ground Clearance – Choose your trail carefully because you only have 3” of ground clearance.

Who it’s for:

– People with a disability that allows them to use their hands to operate the controls.

– People who have a truck or trailer to transport it to the location they want to explore.

– People who love outdoor activities such as hunting, fishing, and hiking will be able to get the most out of an investment such as the Action Trackchair.
