The invention claimed is: 1. A wheelchair, particularly an electric wheelchair, comprising: a frame including at least one inclined telescopically adjustable member, said inclined telescopically adjustable member inclined upwards in a front-to-back direction, at least one steerable wheel mounted to said inclined telescopically adjustable member by a mounting means, said at least one steerable wheel being rotatable about a horizontal axis of rotation, said mounting means being pivotal about a pivot axis extending relative to said at least one inclined telescopically adjustable member, at least one non-steerable adjustable wheel that is connected to the frame at a wheelbase location, and a seat which is fastened to the frame, wherein the seat has a backrest, wherein the mounting means has means for adjusting the distance between the horizontal axis of rotation and the frame at a respective telescoping of said inclined telescopically adjustable member, to adjust the pivot axis to be substantially vertical. 2. The wheelchair of claim 1, wherein the seat is fastened to the frame by a means for adjusting the position of the seat in relation to the frame. 3. The wheelchair of claim 1, wherein the inclined adjustable member comprises an outer tube having an inner perimeter shape and an inner tube having an outer perimeter shape scaled with respect to with the inner perimeter shape of the outer tube such that the inner tube is telescopically movable with respect to the outer tube, said outer tube, and wherein the inner tube is selectively fixed to the outer tube by at least one clamping element. 4. The wheelchair of claim 3, wherein the at least one steerable wheel is mounted in a fork in a manner to rotate about the horizontal axis of rotation, wherein the fork is connected to one of the inner and outer tubes, and wherein the fork pivots about the pivot axis. 5. The wheelchair of claim 4, wherein the means for adjusting the distance between the horizontal axis of rotation and the frame includes a plurality of vertically spaced holes provided at a lower end of the fork. 6. The wheelchair of claim 3, wherein said clamping element is positioned between said inner tube and said outer tube, and wherein said clamping element comprises a first member having tapered ends, and a second and third member each have a tapered end engaging a tapered end of said first member, and means for compressing said second and third members against said first member. 7. The wheelchair of claim 6, wherein said first, second and third members are tubes.
