It isn't designed for rough, muddy ground; if you want to tackle grass and gravel, a front-mounted all-terrain add-on with a bigger wheel will do better. The linking plate has to match your chair's wheel size (22, 24, 25 or 26 inch), so we'll check your chair first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions customers ask us\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I take it on a plane?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKlaxon describes the 144 Wh battery as flight-friendly, with up to two allowed on a flight.
