Mobility for wheechair users on Scottish snow
Date Posted: 15.14hrs on Tue 24 Apr 12

... but what about wheelchair users who'd like to enjoy extra mobility in winter on the Scottish mountains, without a wheelchair's small front wheels getting stuck in the snow?

A Swiss invention - Wheel Blades - is currently seeking investment:
