Trekinetic All Terrain Limited was originally a
state of the art engineering company (under a different name) that
specialized in the manufacture of components for the Motor Racing and
Formula 1 industries. Some of the worlds most iconic road and track
vehicles, were originally built on components manufactured in their
factory.
Back in 2000, they decided that there must be a way to get this cutting edge technology before a wider audience. But which was the product that could best benefit from such advanced technology?
By chance, they stumbled upon the everyday wheelchair. Alarmingly, it was still based upon an antiquated metal tube chassis design. This technique had been abandoned by most automobile manufacturers in the 1950's, when they switched to unitary construction. Yet wheelchair manufacturers were still employing it. Why hadn’t they moved on?
Six years, 14 running prototypes and thousands of modifications later, the now definitive Trekinetic 3 wheel, manually propelled K-2 was unleashed upon the world in 2006. It was not entirely ready and not everybody was convinced. However, many wanted to know more and within 2 weeks the fledgling Trekinetic website had rocketed from zero to over 13,000 hits. Plus they had their first few orders.
Nowadays, you would be surprised to know, how many people rely on the K-2 for daily transport. From the remotest corners of the globe, to the most exclusive city streets, all their customers share the same open minded approach to life. And with their Trekinetic they are going to get as much out of it as possible.
