SuperFour All Terrain Wheelchair

A new entry in the all terrain/off road wheelchair world. The SuperFour is an all wheel steering chariot manufactured by Otto Bock of Germany. It is presently winding up a road tour of cities in Germany.
	This is a hot looking bump climber. The rollbar cage and the combination sweep-over canopy and windshield give it a very in your face look. Super aggressive! The hybrid drive will haul you for a max of 200 km (124 miles), with an almost noise free gas engine that kicks in when the electricity runs out.
Some of the specs: All-wheel steering Independent suspension Handles inclines of up to 40 percent An automatic seat tilt system improves safety when driving downhill. Reaches speeds of up to 15 km/h or 9.32 mph. Range up to 200 km/h or
I do appreciate the looks and features of these new all terrain wheelchairs. It wasn’t so long ago that all terrain in a wheelchair meant throwing a set of knobbies and a pair of 10" pneumatic fronts onto the old general use power wheelchair. That may have helped get you over a wet speed bump but it sure as hell wouldn’t deal with a 40 percent incline. Check out the Otto Bock site for not much more information.
