Its exceptional 4-wheel drive system, coupled with outdoor-specific motors and unbeatable kerb-climbing abilities, make it the ideal choice for users who refuse to be limited by terrain.

For those seeking the ultimate in outdoor powerchairs, the Magic Mobility Extreme X8 is an investment in freedom and independence that's hard to match. However, it's always worth looking at alternatives and Permobil's X850 Corpus 3G Powerchair is definitely one to consider. An off-road powerchair, sturdily built and powerful, the X850 is certainly capable of tackling challenging terrain. Fully configurable, it comes with Permobil's market-leading Corpus seating system. Otherwise, Meyra's Optimus2 is also worth a look. It's a robust, outdoors-focused powerchair that specialises in off-road use, at a competitive price. For something a little different the TGA Scoozy C Mobility Scooter Powerchair might be an option. There isn't anything quite like the Scoozy. It's a modern vehicle that combines the best features of mobility scooters and powered wheelchairs. The Scoozy can be simply steered by the joystick, and has an outstanding 60 mile range and 8 mph top speed.
