welcome to the list,
re - your research in to modular wheelchairs.
In the past I have had some involvement with a company here in the UK who
used a modular adaption system to develope sports and rough-terraine
chairs. their experience was that this approach was considerably cheaper
than building new chairs from scratch.
their interest was chairs which could be used by disabled people involved
in water sports, i.e able to remain stable when carrying extra weight
(sports equipment) and able to be operated either by the user or an
assistant easily in wet sand.
if you want to know more you can take a look at their website on
