  Hi Bob, a tricart can be a great thing but it depends on what usage
you have in mind and how good your upper torso strength and back are.
They can go in and out of doors and depending on the model and wether
they are rear wheel drive will tell you how much umph they hav have.
 They are notorious on turning radiuses so if you need to use it in the
house remember that and that a front wheel drive has a shorter turning
radius than the rear wheel drive. A rear wheel drive will handle rougher
terrain and also steeper inclines and bumps better. As for Medicare
paying for them, they do the 80% to a max of $1,1000 and as long as the
tricart doesn't cost over $4,000. If you want some more specifics let me
know. I am presenty using a Sierra rear wheel drive tricart till my new
chair finally gets here. I use it indoors and out and have not really
had any probls getting over difficult terrain.
