Equipment Options

There are two main categories for hiking devices: attachments that augment an existing chair and dedicated all-terrain chairs. (Offroad handcycles are covered on the Mountain Biking page).

Injury Level Considerations

Although arm strength is often a relevant factor in hiking chairs, it can be overcome with e-assist or fully electric solutions. Choosing a route that works with your equipment and ability level is the most important consideration.

Ease of Access

All-terrain chairs are becoming increasingly common at local parks and municipal spaces, and thousands of miles of trails in the US are accessible, especially with the right equipment.

Equipment Options

Check out the equipment options available. Each one varies based on level of injury, but there’s something for everyone. Try a few different styles, and decide which is best for you.
