The Special Needs 5 can open up a whole new world to our dear ones with physical challenges. Children with physical disabilities can enjoy excursions to the beach, country-side or snow-covered hills with their families. The Special Needs 5 is a more suitable alternative to the traditional wheelchair for rough and muddy roads, providing a smooth and enjoyable ride. They are friendly and inviting, and much loved by our customers.
Please remember that the Special Needs 5 should only be used for an hour or two of recreation a day, and are not intended to replace the full time use of a wheelchair.
