Radical Mobility is a South African company that designs, manufactures and markets power wheelchairs and mobility scooters which maximize mobility and comfort. Custom built for disabled people who still have a zest for life. Martin Brown, the founding Manager of Radical Mobility, is a C3/6 quadriplegic himself, confined to a wheelchair since 1998. His frustration in trying to find a good-looking, practical power wheelchair that catered for his needs, led directly to the formation of Radical Mobility.

Martin demanded maneuverability indoors but also the ability to drive on surfaces like beach sand. He needed comfort and support, and the ability to surmount obstacles, slopes and didn’t want his power wheelchair to look like hospital equipment. So Radical Mobility was born with inspiration from his Creator, friends, and family. Martin started to develop a range of wheelchairs that are affordable, comfortable, safe and versatile – especially in their ability to operate indoors and outside.
