The present invention comprises a wheelchair having tilt means linking lower and upper frames thereof. The tilt means is adapted to allow a user to tilt the upper frame relative to the lower frame while generally maintaining the user's centre of gravity. The tilt means comprises fore and aft link means connecting the upper and lower frames, a first of the link means being pivotally engaged at both ends thereof to the upper and lower frames, and a second of the link means being variable in length and pivotally engaged at one end thereof to the upper or lower frames. A first end of the second link means may be engaged to the upper or lower frame assemblies at a predetermined angle less than 90 degrees relative to the horizontal, and sloping upwardly away from the first link means. The angle is selected to allow the seat and back assembly to be selectively positioned in the generally fully forward or the generally fully reclining positions without reliance on a locking device to maintain the position thereof.
