FAQ
How to select the pushrim for my wheel?
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.

Why are stainless steel pushrims recommended for contact sports?
In contact sports like wheelchair rugby or basketball, wheelchairs frequently collide at high speeds. Softer metals tend to scratch deeply and develop sharp burrs that can cut hands and tear sports gloves. Stainless steel pushrims resist impact deformation and scratching, maintaining a smooth, safe grip surface under the most aggressive playing conditions.
How do stainless steel pushrims compare to aluminium pushrims?
While aluminium is lighter for everyday agile propulsion, stainless steel offers significantly higher structural hardness, wear resistance, and tensile strength. Stainless steel is virtually impervious to surface pitting, deep scratches, and corrosion from sweat, making it the premier choice for durability-focused applications
What kind of surface treatment are used on stainless steel pushrims?
There can be two main surface treatment on stainless steel pushrims:
- mirror polished – the most popular among wheelchair users. It is very smooth when braking and propelling, and very easy to clean. But it can be slippery when wet
- brushed – lightly lined surface. Provides more friction that polished mirror surface treatment. And natural scratches on this surface are less visible.
- with PVC coating – dedicated for wheelchair users with weaker hands. Enables easy propelling the wheelchair.
