In this wheelchair, the rider is positioned in such way where the chest is placed in an open position to facilitate better breathing when touring. Ultra Long Distance Wheelchair design enables the driver’s leg to be in a more relax position compared to traditional racing wheelchair, thus minimizing any discomfort. This position also allows the rider to have more options for supporting body weight using a more traditional seating position than resting it solely on the legs.

The innovative design of this wheelchair keeps shoulders over the front edge of the driving wheels while the whole body position can be engaged by the rider to provide maximum power. The chassis of the Ultra Long Distance Wheelchair is a carbon fiber shell with expanded foam core incorporating aluminum structures for extra load spreading. Gold and red accenting along the key performance parts helps draw attention to the smaller details and makes the wheelchair look sporty and aggressive.

  1. Cool design, but doesn't a wheelchair have a zero turning radius? Seems like the person would have to make large turns with a non directional front wheel.
