Predator 4x4 all terrain power wheelchair



Predator 4x4 power wheelchair by Radical Mobility, South Africa. With the wet savannah mudlands at the company's doorsteps, it is blessed with testing and making power wheelchairs that can survive the harshest environment. Maybe it will build a power wheelchair which can outrun a cheetah (about 70 mph or 114 kph)?

Wheelchairs as fast as this cheetah?

Below is the philosophy of Radical Mobility:
"Radical Holdings (Pty) Ltd t/a Radical Mobility is a South African company that designs, manufactures and markets power wheelchairs, which maximize mobility and comfort for disabled people.
Martin Brown, founder and CEO of Radical Mobility is a C3/6 quadriplegic, confined to a wheelchair since 1998. His frustration in trying to find a power wheelchair that catered for his needs led directly to the formation of Radical Mobility.

Martin demanded manoeuvrability indoors but also the ability to drive on surfaces like beach sand. He needed comfort and support, and the ability to surmount obstacles and slopes and didn’t want his power wheelchair to look like hospital equipment. So Radical Mobility was born with inspiration from his Creator, friends and family. Martin teamed up with Pieter Nell to develop a range of wheelchairs that are affordable, comfortable, safe and versatile – especially in their ability to operate indoors and outside."

One of the great things I love about helping prescribe the right power wheelchair for a patient is how much independence it gives them.
