ABSTRACT:
An all-terrain wheelchair including independently operable right and left push bars arranged to enable individuals of varied physical strength to move the chair along a wide range of terrains, including soft terrain. The push bars allow the user to establish mobility without hand to wheel interaction. The all-terrain wheelchair allows the user to propel the chair forward with a forward motion of the push bars while pulling back on the push bars engages a braking system. Turning is achieved with a forward motion on one push bar and a backward motion on the other push bar. The all-terrain wheelchair of the present invention offers the user a multi-speed geared advantage over traditional wheelchairs. Shifting into lower gears for snow, mud, and sand, gives the user the freedom to go where they have not been able to go with traditional wheelchairs. The push bars are removable and may be stored so that the wheelchair may be moved using conventional hand-to-wheel pushing.
