Four wheel wheelchairs are generally more suited to urban environments. This is because of how a wheelchair with four wheels performs over rough terrain. They often have features like folding backrests, folding frames or quick release wheels for ease of transportation by bus, train or car. Four wheel wheelchairs have been designed and produced in Bangladesh, Poland, Romania, Albania, Nicaragua, Indonesia, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. This makes a three wheel wheelchair more suited to rural or mountainous areas.
Motivation also design tricycle attachments for three wheel wheelchairs.
Three wheel wheelchairs have been designed and produced in Cambodia, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. The primary function of a tricycle, whether it is attached to a wheelchair or is a separate product in itself, is for travelling longer distances more easily. This enables wheelchair users to be more independent and travel further from their homes, perhaps to work, to shop or to visit family. Tricycles are also extremely effective over rough terrain and in mountainous areas. Motivation have designed and produced tricycles that attach to our three wheel wheelchairs in Cambodia, Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
