What I won't accept is that for some reason, all the illustrations that depict this use the hospital wheelchair design. If you are an adventurer who goes into dungeons, you should be getting something that can handle that terrain better than a squeaky shopping cart. Go for the fantasy version of Professor X' flying chair. Or at least get something with all-terrain wheels, and have them angled like the ones in the wheelchairs athletes use.
Tenser's Floating Disk could be used as well, if you want to abide by D&D magic. A magic disk that hovers 3ft - 90cm over the ground, but can't overcome obstacles taller than 10ft - 3 meters. It only lasts 1 hour and only follows the wizard, so you can't command it from atop, but it doesn't need concentration. I'd haggle with the DM to make some allowance on movement while atop it, like having to cast a cantrip (using a valuable action if during combat) or having it last 8 hours if cast as a level 2 spell.
This looks to be a wizard being ambushed along a well paved path. I don't think they needed an all terrain wheelchair. They were just going about their day.
I'm picturing something that walks like a spider.

Maybe they're making a run from a hospital invaded by goblins.
