Adaptive Equipment That Expands the Trail

For some, it’s poles or boots.
For others, it’s power-assisted wheels, all-terrain buggies, or voice-controlled apps.

Access isn’t just about the trail — it’s about what you bring with you, and what brings you along.

At Access Trails UK, we’re spotlighting adaptive gear that helps users explore on their own terms:

• All-terrain wheelchairs and e-trikes like the Mountain Trike, Batec, or Trekinetic
• Navigation tech for low vision or blind trail users — haptic feedback, audio guides, and AR overlays
• Apps and digital tools that support pacing, prompts, or route customisation
• Cooling vests, compression wraps, or mobility aids that support energy-limited or sensory-sensitive journeys
• Portable seating for those who need to pause, not power through

Because the right gear doesn’t just help you go farther — it helps you feel more yourself while doing it.

What’s a bit of kit or tech that’s made your trail time easier, calmer, or more joyful?

Got a hack, mod, or gear recommendation? We’d love to feature it.
