What Extreme Motus does

Extreme Motus, founded in 2018 in Payson, Utah, manufactures and sells a manual all-terrain wheelchair under the Motus brand. The core product is a 49-pound, CNC-machined aluminum-framed chair with three large low-pressure Wheeleez polyurethane balloon tires and hydraulic disc brakes, designed for caretaker-pushed outdoor use across sand, snow, gravel, mud, rocks, and shallow water — including flotation capability. The chair folds for transport in a standard vehicle trunk or as checked airline baggage. Pricing ranges from $4,399.99 to $6,184.99 for custom builds, positioning the product as a manual, sub-$5,000 alternative to powered all-terrain wheelchairs that cost $15,000-$30,000+ and weigh 400+ pounds.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model through extrememotus.com, supplemented by 59 loaner/demo locations across the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK, an affiliate program, and podcast/community partnerships. Payment flexibility is layered through Affirm and Klarna financing, split-pay installments, and HSA/FSA acceptance via Gale. Revenue derives primarily from chair sales, with an accessories catalog (Motus Mover hitch carrier, Motus Protector weather cover, 5-Point Harness, Perfect Lift transfer device, bags, and apparel) providing attach-rate upside. As of 2026, the company reports 590+ chairs sold across 100+ countries, 800,000+ social media followers, and 233M+ content views in the trailing twelve months.

Extreme Motus is a privately held, bootstrapped company led by CEO Adam Beesley with co-founders Ryan Grassley (primary caregiver for Sam Durst) and Sam Durst (cerebral palsy, the chair's primary ambassador). The company has no disclosed external funding rounds or institutional investors, and operates with 1-10 employees. Its go-to-market relies on organic social media content, community-led event presence, state park loaner programs (Tennessee State Parks, Seacoast Science Center), and adaptive sports organization partnerships (National Ability Center, Kelly Brush Foundation's Adaptive Rec Hub).

Revenue model

1. All-Terrain Wheelchair Sales: One-time hardware sales of the Extreme Motus All-Terrain Wheelchair (primary product) and accessories. Standard configuration priced at $4,500; custom builds up to $6,184.99. All orders must be paid in full prior to shipment. This is the dominant revenue stream.
2. Accessories & Add-ons: One-time sales of complementary products including the Motus Mover hitch carrier ($350), Motus Protector weather cover ($180), Perfect Lift portable lift ($329), 5-Point Harness ($135), Camera Mounting Widget ($19.99), Handlebar Bag ($30), Pannier Bag ($60), apparel, books, and stickers.
3. Financing Partnerships (Affirm & Klarna): Extreme Motus partners with Affirm (rates as low as 0% APR) and Klarna to offer installment financing to customers. Revenue flows indirectly through increased sales conversion driven by financing availability. Not a direct revenue stream but a GTM enabler that lowers upfront cost barriers.
4. HSA/FSA Payment Processing (Gale): Accepts HSA and FSA payments through Gale, allowing customers to use pre-tax healthcare accounts to purchase the wheelchair and accessories, removing a financial barrier for customers with eligible accounts.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Permobil: Swedish manufacturer of power wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs, and seating/positioning solutions for clinical and rehab markets. Broad incumbent in the wheelchair industry with overlapping end users (mobility-impaired individuals) but distributed through clinical channels rather than direct outdoor enthusiast marketing.
• Pride Mobility / Quantum Rehab: Large US-based manufacturer of power wheelchairs, scooters, and lift chairs. Broad incumbent serving mobility-impaired customers across multiple product categories; not specialized in all-terrain manual but competes for the same disability community wallet.

Direct peers

• Magic Mobility: Australia-based manufacturer of all-terrain power wheelchairs (Frontier V6, Extreme X8). Most directly comparable competitor: Extreme Motus is explicitly being tested by Tennessee State Parks alongside Magic Mobility's chairs for their Access for All program. Both target users needing off-road/outdoor wheelchair access.
• Hippocampe Beach & All-Terrain Wheelchair: French manufacturer of beach and all-terrain wheelchairs with balloon tires for sand and snow access. Comparable manual all-terrain product category and similar target use cases (beach, trail, snow) for mobility-impaired users.
• Tank Chair: Custom-built all-terrain/off-road powered and manual wheelchairs for outdoor recreation. Comparable niche manufacturer serving users who want off-pavement mobility in a similar price-range-but-custom positioning.
• GRIT (by Convaid/FreeWheel): Manufacturer of the GRIT Freedom Chair - a lever-driven, all-terrain manual wheelchair with mountain bike components. Direct peer in the manual all-terrain wheelchair category, competing on price point, terrain capability, and folding/transport design.

Others

• Kelty (adaptive / outdoor gear): Outdoor gear manufacturer whose adaptive product line and outdoor recreation orientation is adjacent to Extreme Motus's positioning. Adjacent comparison for outdoor-accessible product expansion rather than direct wheelchair competition.
• Kelly Brush Foundation (Adaptive Rec Hub): Not a competitor but a distribution/ecosystem partner that lists Extreme Motus on its Adaptive Rec Hub. Comparable only as a relevant ecosystem player that influences buyer discovery and grant funding for the category.

Emerging players

• Whill: Japan/US startup producing sleek, modern powered mobility devices including all-terrain models (Whill Model F, Model R). Comparable brand-led, design-forward positioning in the modern mobility aid market; overlaps with Extreme Motus on style-conscious, design-led user acquisition.
• Adaptive Star / Convaid (adaptive strollers): Manufacturer of adaptive strollers and pediatric mobility aids. Adjacent category in the broader pediatric/special-needs mobility space, comparable use cases for families of children with disabilities - one of Extreme Motus's customer segments.
