How To Build an All Terrain Wheelchair

At Extreme Motus, we create wheelchairs tough enough to conquer the great outdoors. Our all terrain wheelchairs can roll over rocks, gravel, sand, and mud. It can even float on water.

Other outdoor wheelchairs exist, but few match the durability and versatility of the Extreme Motus all terrain wheelchair. Let’s take you behind the scenes to discover how this exceptional wheelchair is made.


Starting with Premium Materials

Each of our all terrain wheelchairs begins its journey as a solid bar of aluminum. This material is chosen for its lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant properties. We cut these bars to the correct length using a precision band saw, ensuring they’re ready for the next stage of production.

How To Build an All Terrain Wheelchair

Precision Crafting with CNC Technology

The heart of our manufacturing process is the CNC Mill. This advanced machine uses pre-programmed software to shape the aluminum into the components that form the all terrain wheelchair’s frame.

  • Functional Design: The CNC mill carves out patterns in the frame, allowing users to attach bungee cords or pull ropes for added versatility.
  • Lightweight Strength: Strategically placed cutouts reduce the frame’s weight while maintaining its strength. The result? The Extreme Motus all terrain wheelchair weighs just 49 pounds, making it one of the lightest off-road wheelchairs available.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: These precision-cut patterns also add a sleek, modern look to the chair.

Customization and Finishing Touches

Once the frame is complete, we add an extra layer of durability and personalization. Most chairs are powder-coated in colors like blue or red, but the options are nearly limitless. Whether you prefer powder coating, anodizing, or even flashy chrome or nickel finishes, we can tailor the look of your chair to your preferences.


High-Performance Racing Seats

The seat of the Extreme Motus all terrain wheelchair isn’t just functional; it’s crafted for comfort and performance. Using aluminum racing seats originally designed for race cars, we ensure each chair provides optimal support. The side of the chair wrap around the rider. Ensuring people with poor trunk control can’t tip over side to side.

  • Customization Options: Seats can be ordered in various sizes to meet the unique needs of every rider.
    • For reference, Sam—who stars in most of the Extreme Motus videos—uses a medium sized chair. Sam is about 5’ 1” and weighs 90 pounds.
  • Secure Fit: Each seat is bolted securely to the frame and connected to the handlebars and brakes for easy maneuverability.

Innovative Wheels for Any Terrain

The Extreme Motus all terrain wheelchair features large, grey tires capable of rolling over almost anything. With air pressure between 2 and 4 PSI, these tires offer a smooth ride and act as natural suspension, absorbing shocks on rough terrain.


All Terrain Wheelchair with Attendant Brakes

Safety and control are top priorities at Extreme Motus, which is why the every Extreme Motus all terrain wheelchair is equipped with a reliable and easy-to-use braking system. Designed for both riders and attendants, these brakes ensure smooth operation on all types of terrain. If you’ve ridden a bike you already know how to use these brakes.

  • Attendant-Operated Brakes: The Extreme Motus all terrain wheelchair features a handlebar-mounted brake system that allows an attendant to easily control the wheelchair’s speed and stop securely when needed. This is especially useful on steep inclines or uneven surfaces, giving both the rider and the attendant peace of mind.
  • Durable and Reliable: Our brake components are made from high-quality materials to ensure they perform consistently, even in demanding outdoor conditions.

Whether you’re tackling rocky trails, sandy beaches, or paved paths, having a braking system for your all terrain wheelchair that is operated by the attendant provides the confidence and control needed for a safe adventure. Let the exploration begin with full assurance that you’re always in control!

Meticulous Assembly
