The Swiss-Trac is NOT Cheesy
The Swiss-Trac is a small engine that pulls a wheelchair across any terrain (unpaved roads, tracks, grass, etc). They are made in Europe, and (unfortunately at this time) not marketed in the United States.
According to some reports, the Swiss-Trac is more convenient and cheaper than a power chair because it is a use-as-needed device . And, it does not require a specialized vehicle or necessitate home modificiations. The price is said to be about 6300 Euro plus shipping from Europe (about $9000 US).
Here is a video showing the thing tooling around Melbourne, Australia.

Another good thing about the Swiss-Trac is that people do not see the disability. They see the Swiss-Trac, and engage you in a conversation. I first saw the Swiss-Trac many years ago at Melbourne airport. A Swiss tourist was travelling around the world with his Swiss-Trac machine.
