Depending on the height of the kerb, you can either just drive straight at it, or if the kerb is too high, reverse. Putting the chair onto its anti-tip rollers, you can then propel or power backwards. It’s simpler than it sounds!

We offer a few options to protect against punctures, including tyre armour and tyre sealant which can be injected into the tyres.

It also includes a plate and bag which sits behind the seat and is capable of holding a spare battery for our power chair.
The chair will happily travel in the hold and many airlines are now experienced with Trekinetic. If you have the powered GTE model, you may simply remove the joystick and pop it in your hand luggage.

Regardless of battery type, advise the airline well in advance that a power wheelchair will be carried, just in case they need further information.
