Terrainean Products
Terrainean Products is a vibrant and refreshing business based in Jersey, Channel Islands offering all-terrain solutions for individuals who may have to use a wheelchair as part of their daily life.
As you will have no doubt realised on many occasions conventional wheelchairs cannot be pushed over rough terrain areas easily due to the size of the wheels. This ultimately restricts wheelchair occupants and carers into using designated paths whereas abled bodied individuals have the choice to explore further afield.
Their “balloon wheels” enable wheelchair users the freedom to access all areas safely whilst also enjoying the beautiful surroundings they are in. Life just got better – click here to see their extensive range.
