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.
Descriptions emphasize mobility, inclusion, and outdoor access by naming specific adaptive gear and features. RAD Recreation Adapted Society maintains clear equipment offerings and device specifications to help users identify appropriate adaptive solutions.
