  • They for sure help a lot with making moving easier! I have them on quite a high setting so it takes me minimal effort. I wanted to use my arms to move my chair because it’s good to move as long as you can, but I don’t have the strength for a regular chair. You can tweak settings so they aren’t as sensitive and you won’t tip over. That’s what I have setup on the “1” setting.

    It is indeed important to not lift the chair by the push rims. My husband (I don’t lift it) grabs the bar behind my backrest and the front bars where the front wheels are attached. It is important not to clamp them in-between anything in the car. I have silicone covers on the rims and in our old small car we took the wheels off and just carefully put them down, push rim downwards. Nothing on top. They still work. Just be gentle.

    I have an aversion to rain and wetness LOL and I can advice some gloves to use when it’s wet to prevent slipping hands on the rims. Also a random tip: I use some small leg warmers on my coat sleeves so I can wash them regularly and my coat stays clean.

    The brackets I’m not sure off. I didn’t put anything together myself so unfortunately I can’t help you out on that.

    Don’t apologize for the questions, it’s hard to figure out everything in disability world and finding someone who uses the exact same wheels can feel like winning the lottery, lol.

    When you get the app working (and the remote option unlocked), the little hat icon is the learning mode:


  • You can always use my older app trick to unlock all the features and if you need help I can add you on signal messenger to help out more in detail. On/off can be done on the wheels, but it will turn on to the last used setting (1 or 2). If you have the remote, you can use that to change the modes. 1 is indoor use and 2 outdoor.

    General wheel tips:

    • Be sure to practice a lot in practice mode and mode 1.
    • Always use some anti tipping wheels on your chair since these wheels can go whack sometimes if you push too quickly/hard or get stuck (ex: door). I always use mine except when using a handbike.
    • Be very careful changing the parameters and test each change you make well. It’s a sensitive boi.
