This wheel can be locked to a fixed angle. A seat is positioned on the rearward portion of the frame members and on either side of the seat is an elongated axle with large diameter and narrow width ground-engaging wheel.
Another crucial aspect to take into consideration when choosing an all-terrain wheelchair is its weight. A typical all-terrain chair is a lot heavier than a standard wheelchair, which could have a significant impact on the transportation and propelling of the chair.

All terrain chairs come with larger tyres, which makes it easier to turn. To turn, you turn the wrist on your dominant hand (the turning joystick can be attached to either lever) which in turn rotates the rear wheel (or the eTrike incorporates an electric motor that drives the front). If you want to stop the chair, you press the brake levers similar to a bicycle to slow and then apply the brakes.

A seat slope that is too steep can cause the user's hips stretching out to an uncomfortable degree or being forced into an improper pelvic tilt. It is important to assess the front seat-to-floor distance by sitting in the chair and ensuring that the tip of the middle finger line up with the axle, which indicates correct positioning and efficient self-propulsion.

Another problem is that conventional wheelchairs have tiny front wheels that often become stuck in kerbs or cobbles, which can be very difficult for the person using the chair. In certain situations, the occupant can be forced to stop or even get out of the chair.

Tyres
Wheelchair tyres are crucial to the performance of any wheelchair and must always be properly fitted. If the tyres have been under or overinflated, they'll lose their rigidity and this affects cornering, handling and stopping. A properly filled tire distributes the user's weight across the tread pattern to ensure maximum stability and agility. Incorrect tyre pressure can also cause premature wear, especially on the sides of the tread or in the center of the tyre. The tyres must be checked regularly and, should be topped up if needed. The pressure of the tyre is typically written on the tyre, so checking it is easily.
A chair with pneumatic tires will be more suitable for use off-road than an electric or manual chair. Pneumatic tyres are made to handle bumps and jolts that result from rough outdoor terrain such as grass and mud. They have deeper treads, which are more suitable for wheelchairs used indoors. This helps them grip surfaces like kerbs that have been dropped.
Pneumatic tyres are also lighter than solid tyres, which can help a wheelchair to be handled more easily by an attendant. A reputable wheelchair shop will provide advice on the best tires for your situation and the type of wheelchair you're using.
