Hello Lornalou,

It's an electric wheelchair, so not easy to reverse in a straight line!

sorry, don't understand the logic in that one. electric cars can reverse in a straight line. what wheels are being driven, front or back or all.

The logic is that when sitting in the chair it is harder to reverse than going forward. A steering wheel is much easier to control than a joystick.

The rear wheels are the driven ones.

We use the matting on gravel, you can peg the matting to stop the matting from moving whilst using the wheelchair, reasonably successfully. 

Thank you Robsail.

Wheelchair user here, I second the advice to reverse especially as the chair is rear wheel drive. Maybe some time spent practicing would pay off. A good powerchair with correctly inflated tyres should cope with gravel and very easily on grass.

If you have deep pockets then >this< will definitely do the trick.

Great looking stuff! Pity I need it about half as wide again and 16 feet! Roughly £1600. I think I might look elsewhere.

Bob, as some have already mentioned there is always " Three in one MONSTER MAT "  from  www.smartoutdoors.biz 07563 725 095. well that was the address when I bought mine. Designed to bear the weight of vehicles when running over wet grass or mud but light enough to carry in one hand. BUT the Club Shop appears to have Milenco mats of the same idea but very expensive at about £20 !!

The monster mats come in pairs & have a foto of a yellow levelling block on top BUT they are separate items and have to be obtained separately. Doubt if you would need them, just the green foot wide, corrugated surface plastic strips.

Oh  Botheration !!

I gave up, searched for MILENCO, then ACCESSORIES, and lo and behold There They were !!

So I can go to bed happily now
