Outrider offers two steering control systems: standard grip steering and their proprietary Tri-Pin control system, suitable for individuals with mobility impairments like spinal cord injuries or cerebral palsy.

Compact dimensions (62 inches long, 34 inches wide, 34 inches tall), 22-inch wheels and a 136 kg weight capacity (300-pounds) make it a practical and versatile solution for off-road mobility.
