Special features

The Caterwil 4WD wheelchair is powered by four leading electromotors by the wheel. The large diameter tyres with wide sections together with all-wheel drive provide phenomenal ability to move across any surface. The wheelchair rides confidently on loose snow, beach sand, soft mud, gravel and other off-road conditions. 4WD Model has two riding modes: four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. In the rear-wheel-drive mode, the front part of the wheelchair lends two additional self-rotating wheels. At the same time, the front-drive wheels are lifted 2-3 cm off the ground. In that mode the wheelchair operates only with drives on the left and right, the front drives are shut down. This way the battery saves more energy, so the user can travel longer distances on one battery charge. The wheelchair has extremely high manoeuvrability. It allows user to turn around in one place in narrow hallways, move in the house between furniture, enter the doorways and elevators. One more advantage of this model is its size. It’s very compact – 65 cm wide and 88 cm long without footrests (full length with them will be 105 cm). The weight is only 75 kg!
