FAQ
Who are Optimum pushrims designed for?
They are engineered specifically for wheelchair users with reduced hand strength or limited grip mobility. The optimized contact surface maximizes power transfer, making both forward propulsion and controlled braking significantly easier on the hands and wrists.
What is the difference between Optimum and Optimum F handrim version?
Optimum is just black hard anodized handrim in ergonomic profile shape with ultra low weight. Optimum F features a specialized 1.5 mm anti-slip coating applied across the entire profile. This high-friction surface provides the extra grip required for wheelchair users with tetraplegia, allowing secure maneuvering with minimal finger squeezing.
What does it mean handrim with ergonomic profile?
Ergonomic handrim profile means that this component is engineered to fit the hand of different kinds of wheelchair users with different needs and diseases. The main idea is to make propelling the wheelchair easier and more comfortable.
In details:
- different kinds of profiles support a natural hand an wrist position
- the shape enables comfortable grip
- as a result it can reduce whirst and hand strain after long wheelchair propelling.
How to select the pushrim for my personal needs?
For your personal needs, you should consider:
- Grip ability: Tetraplegic or low-grip users benefit from ergonomic shapes with wider contact surfaces and anti-slip coatings (e.g., silicone inserts).
- Environment: Off-road driving requires higher rim clearance, whereas contact sports demand heavy-duty, impact-resistant steel.
- Material & Weight: Choose aluminium or magnesium for lightweight daily mobility, titanium for top durability and all-weather grip, or steel for maximum impact resistance.
