The Extreme Motus All-Terrain Wheelchair
One chair for sand, snow, gravel, rocky trails — and water. Built so families can finally adventure together.
Actually floats
Roll straight into a lake or pool. The Motus is buoyant by design — not just splash-proof.
Fits any SUV, truck, or van
Folds in seconds. No trailer, no hitch lift, no accessible van required.
Goes everywhere
Sand, snow, mud, gravel, rocky trails. The three-wheel float-tire design glides over what stops other chairs.
What does $4,500 actually buy you?
Sticker price feels like a lot — until you divide it by every trail, beach, and family day-out it makes possible. Move the sliders to see your real cost.
The Motus isn’t a gift for one special child — it’s freedom for the whole family. It opens up the places you used to skip because there wasn’t a sidewalk: the end of a trail in a state or national park, a beach you can finally cross together, a mountain overlook the family thought was off-limits. One purchase. Every family member included. For years.

Configure & Order →🌊 The hidden value: it floats
A typical beach wheelchair rental runs $50–$100/day. Across a single week-long beach vacation, that’s $350–$700 — for a clunky single-purpose chair that can’t leave the shoreline.
The Motus replaces that rental, every time. Hike in the morning, beach in the afternoon, pool in shallow water* — same chair. After ~6 beach days, the Motus has already paid back what you’d spend renting a single-purpose beach chair.
* Safety note: The Motus floats, but it’s top-heavy. Riders should always wear a life jacket and stay in shallow water — it’s a flotation-capable chair, not a boat. Read our full water-safety guide →
Real families, real terrain
Eight years of Motus owners have taken these chairs to places that “weren’t supposed to be wheelchair accessible.” A few favorites:
Little Sahara Sand Dunes, UT
Soft sand that swallows other chairs. The Motus floats right over it.

Bryce Canyon, UT
Rocky scenic overlook trails — rim-walk views the family thought were off-limits.

Family beach days
From sand-walk to shallow-water float. One chair, full beach access.

The price tells you less than you think
$4,500 isn’t the cheapest manual chair on the market. But the “total cost of ownership” story is where the Motus quietly wins. Compare the hidden costs that buyers don’t see on the brochure:
| Hidden cost | Extreme Motus | Tracked / 4×4 power chair |
|---|---|---|
| Shipping + assembly | $380 flat US | $450–$550 (freight + assembly) |
| Hitch carrier | Not needed — fits an SUV | $900 |
| 5-point harness | $135 (optional upgrade) | $195 |
| Lateral trunk supports | Not typically needed | $880 |
| Head support | Not typically needed | $641 |
| Replacement batteries | None | $700/pair every 2–3 yrs · or $1,500 lithium every 5–6 yrs |
| Routine maintenance | $10–$20 (brake pads) | Minimal outside of battery replacement |
| Replacement parts | Standard bike-shop parts | Proprietary — through manufacturer only |
A Motus you bought today will cost roughly the same to own in year 5 as it did the day you unboxed it — no batteries to swap, no proprietary parts, no specialized seating add-ons. Power chair owners commonly add $1,500–$3,000 over 5 years in hitch carriers, support gear, and battery replacements.

What’s included with my Motus order?
Every Motus ships with the frame, three low-pressure balloon tires, a standard seat-belt restraint, and a basic care guide. You can add a 5-point harness, accessory bags, a custom paint color, the Motus Protector cover, and the Motus Mover hitch carrier through the configurator above.
How long until my Motus ships?
Standard production runs 2–3 weeks from the day your order is confirmed. Custom paint adds about 1 week. Shipping within the US is a $380 flat rate and takes 3–5 business days after dispatch.
What’s the maximum rider weight?
Large seats riders 120–250 lbs. For riders above 250 lbs, contact us — we may be able to recommend a custom configuration.
Can my child grow into a Motus?
Yes — that’s why the configurator nudges most kids toward a Medium even if they currently fit a Small by weight. The Medium seats 60–120 lbs, so a child can use it from grade-school through their teens without outgrowing it.
Does Medicare or insurance cover the Motus?
Usually no. Medicare classifies all-terrain wheelchairs as recreational rather than medically necessary. Some customers have qualified through state Medicaid waivers, and many use disability-focused grants — our Grant Match Quiz narrows down the options.
What’s the warranty?
Frame warranty: 2 years on manufacturing defects. Tires and consumable components carry standard wear-and-replace terms. Disc-brake pads typically need replacing every 1–2 years of regular trail use — about a $10–$20 part.
Can I add accessories after I order?
Yes — the handlebar bag, rear seat bag, Motus Protector cover, and Motus Mover can all be ordered later. The 5-point harness and custom color are most efficient to add at the original order so the chair ships ready to go.
What if my vehicle doesn’t have a 2″ hitch receiver?
The Motus Mover is the only optional accessory that requires one. Without a receiver, the Motus still fits in any standard SUV, truck, van, or hatchback — the front wheel folds into the seat in seconds, no tools required.
Can I demo a Motus before buying?
Yes. We have 59 demo/loaner locations across the US, Canada, Australia, and UK. Find the closest one on the map, or request a demo experience with our team.
$4,500 feels out of reach?
Many of our customers pay $0 out of pocket. Adaptive sports nonprofits, state Medicaid waivers, ABLE accounts, and 50+ specialized grants regularly fund Motus orders in full. Our 90-second quiz narrows the list to the grants you’re most likely to win.
