See the MachineParkinson's took the trail. The TerrainHopper gives it back.
When tremor, fatigue and balance loss start deciding where you can and can't go, the woods, the beach and the back of the property get quiet. This machine is built for exactly that moment — to put you back in the seat, outside, with the people you love.
Built for the symptoms that ended outdoor time.
We're not adapting a chair to the outdoors. The machine was engineered from the ground up for unstable terrain — which happens to make it remarkably well-suited to a rider whose own stability and stamina aren't what they used to be.
Stable when balance isn't
A long, planted wheelbase and a deep seated platform mean tremor and balance loss don't end the outing. You sit. The machine handles the ground.
Throttle, not effort
No pedaling. No pushing. No companion straining behind you. Fatigue, bradykinesia and on/off motor cycles stop deciding how far you get to go.
Outside, on purpose
Sunlight, movement and time in nature are some of the few things the research keeps pointing to for mood, sleep and symptom days. This puts that back on the table.
"The diagnosis took the deer lease, the dock and the morning walk before it took anything else. The machine handed two of them back the first weekend."

A 10-second self-check.
If most of these sound like you — or someone you're trying to help — the next step is a no-pressure conversation, not a sales pitch.
You (or someone you love) has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and outdoor time has quietly disappeared from the week.
Walking the trail, the beach, the back of the property or the deer lease has become unsafe — or just exhausting before it starts.
You can transfer to a seat with help, and you can operate either a handlebar throttle or a joystick.
You want to be outside with your spouse, kids, grandkids or hunting buddies — not watching from the truck.

When you're ready, explore every funding path
Cobble it together.
There's no single program that hands a TerrainHopper to a rider. The families that get one build a personal funding campaign — a grant here, a state loan there, a fundraiser, a sponsor, a chunk of savings. It works. It just takes a plan.
Talk Through Your Plan- 01
Stack the sources
Almost nobody pays for a TerrainHopper with a single check. The riders who get one usually combine a grant, a state loan, a fundraiser, and a family contribution. Plan for three to five sources, not one.
- 02
Start with what's closest
Apply to a state assistive-tech loan and one or two grants first — those have the longest timelines. Then open a fundraiser to close the gap once you know the number.
- 03
Tell one honest story
A short video, a few photos, and the specific outdoor thing you want back. People don't fund a wheelchair — they fund a grandfather back in the deer woods, a mom back at the lake, a kid back on the trail.
- 04
Ask the rooms you're already in
Church, hunting club, VFW, neighborhood, employer, Ducks Unlimited or NWTF chapter, your kids' school. Local money moves faster than national grants.
What worked for you?
We sell machines. You and your family have actually lived Parkinson's — the appointments, the denials, the grant forms, the fundraiser that finally broke open, the local club that wrote the check nobody saw coming. That's knowledge we don't have and can't fake.
If you've put together funding for adaptive equipment — yours, a loved one's, anybody's — tell us how. We'll fold what you share into the advice we give the next Parkinson's family that lands on this page.
Share What Worked- · Which grant, loan, or program actually came through for you?
- · Which ones were a dead end — so we can stop sending people there?
- · What did your fundraiser look like? What made it work?
- · Any local source — church, club, employer, foundation — most families miss?
- · What do you wish someone had told you on day one?
We'll listen more than we talk.
