A wheelchair capable of being constructed in several different sizes from components of standard size in order to permit users of different sizes and users with one or more handicaps to utilize such wheelchairs. The wheelchair includes a main frame and a foot support assembly which can be telescopically adjustably affixed to the main frame. In addition, a seat section can be telescopically adjustably affixed to the main frame such that the seat is located at a selected height and the foot support section can extend outwardly from the frame for a selected distance to accommodate users of differing height. The rear wheels are positionally mounted with respect to the main frame such that the rear wheels can be located in several different positions in order to change the overall center of gravity and the wheelbase of the wheelchair. In this way, the wheelchair can be used for conventional wheelchair movement, as well as for athletic activities. A pair of front wheels are also adjustably positionally mounted with respect to the main frame in order to change the angle of the wheelchair and the seat relative to the ground or other supporting surface.
