Castors

Various types and sizes of castors are available for this model, depending on the occupant's functional
needs and/or aesthetic preferences.
In general, the larger the diameter and width of the wheel, the easier it will be to negotiate rough terrain and
small obstacles such as stones, small height differences of the order of 1 cm. Soft castors offer a more
comfortable drive than hard ones.
The pneumatic castor is the most comfortable but must be inflated regularly.
Hard casters absorb less vibration when driving on rough surfaces.

Plastic lateral clothing guards of the "mudguard" type are provided with this model, in combination with tubular armrests.
These are originally fixed with their edges approximately 5 mm above the tyre to prevent occupants from inserting their fingers between
tyre and mudguard itself.
