This particular Chrome wheelchair has been especially designed for hand cycles and is the only off the shelf chair that comes equipped with a dedicated cycling axle. There are two axles for two wheel positions, the everyday axle has a 2-degree camber and the cycle axle has a 5-degree camber. On top of that toe-in has been designed into the chair so that when the handcycle is attached and the front wheels are in the air the rear wheels keep the perfect angle for rolling minimum rolling resistance and improved tire wear.
Both rear wheel positions have scissor brakes that fold out of the way when not in use.
Another great feature of this chair are the 24 × 1.75 Mountain Bike wheels. You are not restricted to a particular wheelchair style tire; you can go into any bicycle shop and purchase tires and tubes.
Additional specifications include: Tension adjustable upholstery, height adjustable Footrest and Folding adjustable Backrest with Snap Lock system.
