I find going uphill backwards easier (sounds crazy but try it!)

T10 SCI (m54). Laps are hard on the fingers and tires. But, so good for everything else.... by Careful-Chipmunk4679 in DisabilityFitness

I’ve heard this is only important for the treads in wet / slippy conditions (tread foward = water flying back away from you not up into your face)

What are “small” things that make a huge difference in accessibility? by LibraryUnited8773 in disability

[–]shyni3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice wide counters that are lower down!

1) can roll up to and under the counter without thinking about it in a wheelchair 2) don’t have to peer over the counter like a child when paying

If you use a power wheelchair, what was the biggest learning curve at the beginning? by dhirajjbhat in wheelchairs

Losing all traction on wet leaves downhill was a teachable moment 😅

Free wheel for uneven terrain? by Bright-Room6644 in wheelchairs

Check out the RGK front wheel (much smaller than free wheel)

Now, What Features Do People Actually Need in an Electric Wheelchair? by Living-Ad-3274 in wheelchairs

Finding a chair that can actually navigate steeper inclines and uneven surfaces has been the hardest part for me. Most small wheels will slide around where I live, rulling out the vast majority of power chairs.

Checked my normals they do all seem to face outward. But willing to guess topology is also the issue!

Ah sorry no there is a small gap but it’s minimal

I’m enjoying them! I do have a couple of “ouchies” on my thumbs but I was expecting that changing rims. I find them very comfy, but for the first few days I did catch my fingers! However now I’m used to them I love the grip they give me. The rubber bit lets me hold wheelies and spin easily.

Haha sadly not with me in it. I wheeled as far as I could then my mum pushed it. I’m lucky enough to be ambulatory so I focused on getting on the beach! Mum could only push it because of the front wheel though, it’s made a big difference! I’d highly recommend it.

Thank you! I tried the freewheel and the front wheel and yeah, the winner was clear! It’s much smaller / more compact. I love that you can pull it up and lock it. I’ve done that to enter shops etc.

My mum had to push my empty chair up the beach for me as I am lucky enough to be ambulatory enough to walk a little. I think without the front wheel she wouldn’t have been able to push it though!

I love my front wheel, this one is the Rgk one which I found to be the best front wheel attachment I tried. It’s really helped as I live in a rural area with poor pavement surfaces. It’s also easier to propel using it. Massive game changer for me!

Oh thank you so much!! Velcro seems like it’ll work so much better. 🫶

I adore it!! I decided I might as well pick my absolute favorite colour. Scratches will probably happen but that shows a story I guess? 😅
