Any easy low cost suggestions for fixing this.
Carpet wheels for wheelchairs.
Overall it s a great wheelchair to spend a great load of time in it.
Carpets with a high pile won t let the wheels roll easily.
Wheelchairs run great on hardwood flooring.
When your padding crushes it can cause the backing of the carpet to break the carpet stretches and you re left with wavy carpet in your living room.
A very low pile carpet or a commercial carpet made for high traffic would be the best kind for wheelchair users.
Flooring like thick carpet is not ideal for wheelchairs.
This model can serve both as a self and attendant propelled wheelchair thus is equipped with the push to lock wheel brakes for self rides and special back handles for being pushed from behind.
My husband has started using a wheelchair in the house but has trouble maneuvering over carpeting and around furniture.
For rough outside terrain or sports use however a sturdier wheelchair with durable wheels would be necessary.
It should be non slippery and still offer enough traction to easily maneuver.
If the wheelchair will be used on flat terrain or an indoor environment a non electric wheelchair could serve your purposes.
Ideally flooring for wheelchairs should be firm with flat transitions from one room to the next.
Thanks to the 8 inch front caster wheels the chair guarantees a smooth ride.
