RAD Recreation Adapted Society is a Victoria, British Columbia–based organization that provides adaptive recreation equipment and accessible outdoor mobility solutions. The society offers a wide range of adaptive devices including mountain trikes, electric-assist eTrikes, seated handcycles, beach wheelchairs, foldable Access Trax pathways, VanRaam city/walking bikes, Alinker walking-bikes, sit sledges for cross-country snow, WaveSki water-adaptive skis, Roll-A-Ramp portable ramps, and a selection of handcycles such as Top End Force and Varna II models.
Many items are offered for short-term rental or use, with options described for half-day, full-day, and weekend rental periods for select handcycles and sledges. Access Trax is noted as a foldable, portable pathway inspired by adaptive surfers and crafted by occupational therapists, enabling travel over sand, grass, gravel, and snow. Electric-assist eTrikes provide multiple power settings and one-arm steering; Mountain Trikes deliver smooth handling and one-arm operation for rough terrain. Roll-A-Ramp supplies lightweight aluminum ramps rated for substantial loads, and beach wheelchairs like the Hippocampe support mobility on sand and shorelines.
