FAQ
Who should choose Optimum pushrims?
Optimum pushrims are engineered for wheelchair users with reduced hand strength or joint sensitivity. The broadened profile improves contact, minimizing the physical effort required to push and brake during daily activity. The lizard coating makes this pushrim sticky and easy to propel also for tetraplegics.
How does the Optimum F coating support users with tetraplegia?
The Optimum F features an integrated 1.5 mm high-friction coating that eliminates the need for a tight pinch grip. It provides instant traction under simple palm contact, allowing safe, effortless steering and stopping.
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.
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.
