Hi,
I am new here and browsing this thread. I am a graduate student in social work and an author. I have three dogs and an active life. I was happy to find this site and want to connect with more power chair users. This looks like a great place to do that and I'm happy to meet you all. I woas drawn here first several months ago because I saw the all terrain powerchair. I would like an all terrain chair like the one featured on this site and am willing to put forth this effort. Specifically, I need a powerchair that can handle snow. Do any of you use a tilt/recline system? I do, and am wondering how feasible this is in an all-terrain power chair. I currently live where there is no snow, but I need this capability to see friends in winter and for a possible job later. I can sit in a standard chair but have moderately high spasticity so do best when I am not doing this all day. Can equipment such as what is shown here safely be put on a chair with tilt/recline? I am getting a Quantum Edge by pride in about a month and would want to modify a second one that I get for this purpose. Any recommendations on where to get a safe used wheelchair that could handle this?
I am in the USA. Thanks, everyone.
