Offering power steering with a joystick, the Trax has electronics that can be programmed to meet the user's requirements and is available in three seating choices.

In addition to a choice of leatherette or fabric seat covers, Permobil offers optional accessories including rear-view mirror, luggage box or basket, roll bar, crutch holder, adjustable neck rest, short or long thigh rest, four pointbelt, belt with quick-release lock, self-adjusting belt, running-time meter and battery charger.
