Greetings, I’d like to purchase a wheelchair with rugged wheels to push my sweetheart outdoors in the grass or on a gravel path. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thank you!
 
You would want urethane casters and of course a 24" rear wheel (maybe semi-pneumatic depending on how rough these trails are), foot rests with heel loops and a decent frame thickness. You will be trading off a more ergonomic seat.

By the time you do that, you're largely in custom territory and it's a ~$1K proposition, so I would start the paperwork for a power chair now, anyway. If you can afford a manual chair like that, check out your options on SpinLife and similar sites, where you can filter on features. Invacare chairs have been fairly durable but Karman has nice ergonomics/looks.

Best,
Laurie
 
If you are interested in a good used power chair I have one for sale and depending on your location we may be able to deliver it.
