See the MachinePast the door. Back to the ground.
Indoor power chairs handle the house. The TerrainHopper handles the river bank, the field, the dunes, and the deer lease — with transfers, controls, and seating respected.
The machine your indoor chair can't be.
Built for soft ground, hills, and water — the country a power chair quietly closes off. Configured with transfer, control, and pressure care in mind.
Built for transfer
Seat height, footplate, and harness are dialed in at evaluation — including the things your wheelchair seating system already taught you matter.
Joystick configurations
Limited hand function? We'll spec the right control scheme so the machine works the way your body works.
Ground a power chair can't touch
Sand, mud, river bank, dunes, dove field, the back acres — the country an indoor chair quietly closed off, reopened.
A 10-second self-check.
You're living with a spinal cord injury — paraplegia, tetraplegia, or incomplete — and outdoor mobility has been the missing piece.
Your indoor power chair handles the house but not the river bank, the field, or the lease.
You can transfer to a seat with help and operate a handlebar throttle or a joystick.
You want a real outdoor machine that respects pressure-care, transfers, and the way your body actually works.

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 Spinal Cord Injury — 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 Spinal Cord Injury 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.
