Back to the Outdoors: How Action Trackchairs Restore Independence

We sit down with our friend Chad, a dealer for Action Trackchair across Wisconsin and Illinois, to unpack how an all-terrain power chair with tracks—not wheels—turns sand, snow, grass, and trails into everyday options. If you’ve ever wondered how adaptive tech can change not just mobility but mood, this conversation is your field guide.

Chad talks us through the essentials: how track geometry spreads weight for flotation, why torque and traction matter on loose ground, and what it takes to safely handle curbs and uneven paths. We dig into custom control setups, including chin-drive systems that convert small, precise inputs into confident steering. The practical details shine, from transfer challenges to quick plywood fixes that make lifts and bases play nice. And beyond the hardware, we talk about the heartbeat of access—family, friends, and a community that refuses to let you stall when the terrain gets rough.

Chad shares life after a 2010 car accident, the role of support in pushing past hard days, and the new joys of chasing a four-year-old across parks and yards thanks to the Action Trackchair. We trade stories about resilience, adaptive hacks, and the simple thrill of a beach day or a snowy path when the right gear is under you. If you’re weighing your options or helping someone navigate their next steps, you’ll come away with ideas to test and questions to ask.

Curious about taking your own off-road? Search Action Trackchair, set up a demo, and see what opens up when you trade wheels for tracks. If this conversation helps, tap follow, share it with someone who needs the nudge, and leave a quick review so others can find it too.
