Hand rims

Special hand rims are available for this PROGEO wheelchair model. Their special features ensure improved grip and therefore a more efficient pushing motion, especially for occupants with limited strength
or mobility of the hands and fingers.
When assembling these hand rims, there is a risk of pinching or crushing the fingers between the hand rim itself and the wheel rim.
Always perform this operation with great care.

Tyres

Different types of tyres are available. Compatibility with the rear wheel depends on the size of the wheel itself.
(1) High pressure tyre
Light and reliable, suitable for most environments.
(2) Marathon Plus
With anti-puncture protection, suitable for most environments.
(3) High pressure profile tyre
Light and reliable, more suitable for rough surfaces.
(4) Solid tyre
Suitable for most environments, it does not need inflation but its ride is less smooth. It has a little less grip,
especially over smooth and wet surfaces and it absorbs less vibration when rolling on rough surfaces.

Spoke guards

into the rear wheel spokes.
