Its A Wheelchair, But Not As We Know It..

Put a quad bike ATV, a mountain bike and a go-cart in a blender and the result
would be the Boma 7 from Molten Rock launched this month. Unlike these
ingredients the Boma 7 is fully accessible to wheelchair users with a variety of
physical disabilities, even if you can only move your head.
"the Boma 7 opens opportunities for friends and family to enjoy the
beach/forest/snow/parkland together, without being restricted to tarmac," said
Chris Swift, wheelchair user and founder of Molten Rock.
A super strong frame from motorsport rollcage grade tubing, combine with a
powerful electric transaxle drive system with differential locking and all round
independent suspension. Capable of climbing 1 in 2 slopes the power unit
carries an easily accessible seating and control set-up that can be adapted to
suit the riders abilities. Boma 7 can be used on footpaths, bridle ways and
roads with a range of 14 miles per battery set.
The robust Boma is the result of 5 years development by Molten Rock and has
been expedition proven in both the UK and Africa. In June 2011 a trial Boma 7
became the first electric wheelchair to drive to the summit of Ben Nevis, the
highest mountain in the UK.
"Many customers will never push their Boma7 to its performance limits but its
good for them to know the chair will cope if they need to cross some muddy
ground".
