A bit about racing cars. In the old days, racing cars had a tubular steel frame. The body, engine and wheels were bolted on to this frame that was called the chassis. Somebody then thought, if we can make the body strong enough, we can bolt everything to that and discard the chassis. This strong body, or stressed member, is known as a Monocoque or Monocoque chassis.

At TREKINETIC we found that if we made the seat out of a super strong, lightweight and exotic material called Carbon Fibre, three things could happen.

• It would be so strong that we could attach all the mounting hardware to it and dispose of the chassis idea entirely.
• As it is a solid form it can be sculptured to support the users body, to offer enhanced comfort and support.
• It would be reasonably cost effective to offer a range of foam liners, to suit differing user requirements.
