A dual mode wheelchair ( 300 ) providing both a manoeuvrable indoor mode and a travel mode. The wheelchair ( 300 ) comprises fore wheels ( 104 ) mounted on a fore axis ( 105 ) and rear wheels ( 102 ) mounted on a rear axis ( 103 ). A distance between the fore axis ( 105 ) and the rear axis ( 103 ) defines a wheelbase of the wheelchair ( 300 ). The wheelbase is alterable between a short wheelbase providing a manoeuvrable mode of the wheelchair ( 300 ) and a long wheelbase providing a travel mode of the wheelchair ( 300 ). The wheelchair ( 300 ) further provides a lowered centre of gravity and a reclining position in the travel mode to provide improved stability and occupant security.
