Breaking barriers with the right all-terrain wheelchair

Disability shouldn’t mean limitation. At Extreme Motus we believe mobility challenges shouldn’t keep anyone from the great outdoors. Adventure, freedom, and discovery are essential parts of life — and the right all-terrain wheelchair removes the barriers in the way.

That’s why we built the Extreme Motus: a lightweight, durable, off-road manual chair that handles sand, grass, rocks, snow, and even shallow water.

Why an all-terrain wheelchair?

Spending time outdoors is essential for both mental and physical health. Studies show being in nature reduces stress, lowers anxiety, and improves heart health. Standard mobility devices stop where the asphalt ends. An all-terrain wheelchair like the Motus puts those places back on the map.

What makes the Extreme Motus the ultimate adventure chair

1. All-terrain Wheeleez tires

Large, low-pressure Wheeleez balloon tires roll smoothly over sand, gravel, grass, and rocky paths. They’re buoyant enough to float the chair in shallow water, and they offer the traction and stability that prevent tipping or getting stuck.

2. Lightweight and portable

49 lbs, folds in half for compact storage, fits a sedan trunk. Made for spontaneous adventures — no trailer, no specialized vehicle.

3. Adjustable for comfort and control

  • Two seat width options: 18″ or 16″ for the right fit.
  • Adjustable handle height: So the caretaker pushes at a comfortable height.
  • Hydraulic disc brakes + parking brake lock: Reliable stopping on steep slopes and uneven ground.
  • Optional 5-point harness: For riders with limited trunk control.

4. Built to last

Aluminum frame doesn’t rust. Stainless hardware. The same chair that handles a beach trip handles a snowy hike, a corn maze, and a skatepark session.

What the Motus changes

  • Independence: Go where standard wheelchairs can’t.
  • Mental health: Time in nature reduces stress and anxiety.
  • Physical health: Outdoor activity, trail-pushing, and movement.
  • Family adventures: The whole group goes together. Trips don’t get planned around what’s accessible — they get planned around what you want to do.

Frequently asked questions

What terrain can the Extreme Motus handle?
