How easy is the steering? And traction, stability, etc.
Steering effort is moderate, suicide knob helps. Poor traction on soft ground and not very stable are probably the reasons it never caught on.



Something like this would be best. Although it doesn't meet your non transfer needs and is expensive,

TracFab - All Terrain Tracked Wheelchair



A electric wheel chair with the wheel base stretched out and widened would work.

Harbor freight has cheap castors with air tires. Mini ATV wheels could be used to replace the drive wheels on the donor electric wheelchair to provide more traction.
