All-Terrain Track Chairs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Ripchair 3.0' is a Powerful Off-Road Wheelchair That's Electric

— July 27, 2016 — Autos
The Ripchair 3.0 is an extreme electric off-road wheelchair that allows consumers to put their own powerchair or wheelchair into the track vehicle. One major benefit is that the user can take their wheelchair wherever they go and access places or simply sit somewhere that the Ripchair wouldn't be able to enter.

The most amazing aspect of the Ripchair is it allows handicapped individuals the ability to go over intense terrain and experience the outdoors in vigorous manner. The off-road wheelchair is powerful with a 29 horsepower four-stroke engine and can reach up to 10 miles per hour. It almost looks like a mini-military tank with its shape and its caterpillar track. Consumers can also purchase the vehicle with add-ons for recreational use. Like a car, it is equipped with cup holders and lights in the front and back.

The Ripchair 3.0 off-road wheelchair can bring a level of freedom and mobility to people with disabilities that they would not be able to get from a regular wheelchair or powerchair.
Trend Themes
1. Off-road Wheelchairs - The development and diversification of all-terrain and off-road wheelchairs is an opportunity for companies to address the specific needs of people with disabilities who want to enjoy outdoor activities and have a better quality of life.
2. Track Vehicles - The implementation of track vehicles in different sectors such as tourism, mining, and construction is an opportunity for companies to explore a disruptive innovation with increased mobility, stability and versatility.
3. Adaptive Car Accessories - The design and marketing of adaptive car accessories, such as those found in all-terrain track chairs, provide a growing business opportunity for companies to enhance car owners' experience and comfort.
Industry Implications
1. Health - All-terrain wheelchairs are extending to other health-related industries which address mobility issues, such as accessible tourism, healthcare and therapy.
2. Tourism - All-terrain track chairs can make significant improvements to the tourism industry by enabling people with physical disabilities to experience outdoor activities and destinations that were previously inaccessible.
3. Construction and Mining - The use of all-terrain track vehicles in construction and mining industries enhances site access and mobility in difficult terrains, providing companies with the opportunity to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
