Wheeling in style with Trekinetic.

Trekinetic is a light, ultra-stylish, all terrain wheelchair developed by Mike Spindle in order to provide fashion conscious wheelchair users with an alternative to the basic, boxy style currently available.

After eight years of development and 14 separate prototypes, Spindle’s Trekinetic is ready for sale. It is built around a carbon fiber seat, has front wheel drive with a singular rear castor for added stability, uses a dynamic breaking system and includes protection from the weather in the form of storeable umbrella.

The Trekinetic is not only comfortable and attractive, it is quick and easy to fold up and store. If you want to check it out, visit Mike Spindle’s Website.

Wheelchairs Unite!

We have a noticed a trend in spinal cord and traumatic brain injury news lately - a significant amount of it has been coming out of Canada. What do the Canadians share? It would seem that the country is dedicated to providing support and awareness for brain and spinal cord injuries, and the activities they highlight are gaining world-wide recognition.

The most recent example of this is the 6th annual Rick Hansen Wheels In Motion event that raised more than $2 million for people living with spinal cord injuries.

Kuddos, Canada.
