In brief
- Trekinetic unveiled the GTE Series 4 all-terrain powerchair at REHACARE 2026 (23–26 September).
- The new generation claims roughly twice the power, 25 km range, 6 km/h top speed and a 37 kg folding frame.
- A patent-pending Variable Camber System adjusts wheel camber for different terrain.
What launched at REHACARE
The GTE Series 4 is the new generation of Trekinetic's all-terrain powerchair, presented for the first time at REHACARE 2026 in Düsseldorf. Trekinetic builds its chairs by hand in the UK, and the Series 4 keeps the brand's signature formula: a compact, foldable three-wheel layout aimed at outdoor use on grass, gravel and trails rather than just smooth pavements. The company lists a 25 km battery range, a 6 km/h top speed and a total weight of 37 kg with the chair folding for transport.
What is new compared with the previous generation
The most quoted change is power: industry coverage of the launch reports around 100 percent more power than the outgoing model, which should translate into more confident climbing on slopes and soft ground. Other new hardware includes a patent-pending Variable Camber System that adjusts wheel camber — effectively changing the track width and ground clearance for different terrain — and quick-release jack stands. The carbon-fibre monocoque seat keeps weight down, and a remote tilt function plus a long-range battery option round out the package. Taken together, the Series 4 is less a refresh than a re-engineering of the drivetrain and chassis around tougher off-road use.
Who it suits, and what to verify
The GTE Series 4 suits active users who regularly travel across parks, countryside paths and beaches and want a chair built for that purpose rather than adapted to it. Three practical checks before committing: transport — 37 kg is light for an all-terrain powerchair but still needs a hoist, ramp or strong pair of hands to load into a car, so confirm how it fits your vehicle; servicing — confirm dealer and parts support in your area for a handmade, low-volume product; and price and delivery times, which Trekinetic had not published on its product page at the time of writing. Book a demonstration on the kind of ground you actually use — a showroom floor will not tell you how the Variable Camber System behaves on a muddy slope.
