The
"Quantum Runner " alpha-prototype is a fully functional chair
that has acted as the base for all future chairs. It is built from lightweight aluminum and
other composite components, and it's an awesome riding
experience. Another

"Quantum Runner".

Flying down the street in fourth gear. The chest and back muscles
provide the power for the "Quantum Runner". Standard
wheelchairs use primarily the arm muscles and lose momentum for each new
stroke on the rim. The "Quantum Runner" provides forward
propulsion in both the push-and-pull stroke making it an ideal speed
machine. |
