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
The product page describes flotation in shallow water, including lakes and pools. Always use caution and supervision when entering water.
Folds for vehicle transport
Two quick-release pins, no tools. Folded length: 2 ft 6 in. Check your vehicle opening and loading space.
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.

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.

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?
Shipping is $380 flat rate, as listed on the product page. Contact us for current production, dispatch and delivery estimates for your configuration.
What’s the maximum rider weight?
The product page lists Small for riders up to 80 lb, Medium for 80–150 lb and Large for 150–250 lb. The Large seat is 18.5 inches wide. Contact us with fit questions; do not assume a higher capacity.
Can my child grow into a Motus?
The product page lists Medium at 16.5 inches wide for riders 80–150 lb, and recommends considering Medium for a growing rider. Compare seat width and rider weight, then ask us about individual fit.
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?
Read the current limited warranty for coverage, exclusions and claims procedures. Contact us about any term you need clarified before buying.
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 optional Motus Mover requires a hitch receiver. The chair itself folds with two quick-release pins, without tools, to a length of 2 ft 6 in. Check your vehicle’s opening, available space and loading arrangements for the 55-lb chair.
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.
