Product applications
FAQ
How do Optimum pushrims support users with reduced hand strength?
Their broad, ergonomic contact surface distributes hand pressure evenly across the rim. This design minimizes the muscular effort needed to accelerate and brake, effectively protecting wrists and forearms from fatigue during daily mobility.
What is the difference between standard Optimum Z and Optimum ZF?
While standard Optimum Z focuses on an ergonomic profile and light weight, the Optimum ZF adds a specialized 1.5 mm anti-slip coating. This high-friction layer provides immediate grip without requiring fingers to squeeze the rim, making it the ideal solution for quadriplegia or tetraplegia.
How to select the handrim 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.
