6.12.4 Suspension (steering casters/drive wheels)
The power wheelchair can be equipped with a suspension
system.
A spring and shock absorber element on each of the two
steering casters increases driver comfort, especially on
uneven surfaces, and improves traction.
The suspension effect is improved even more by a drive
wheel suspension.
If the power wheelchair is equipped with a drive wheel sus
pension, then the batteries are stored in a drawer.
