To power the chair, simply move the lever downwards from the wheelchair.

Non-folding wheelchairs are usually constructed with strong frames that provide the highest stability and durability. These chairs are used for a long time and need to be robust. These chairs are a good choice for people who need wheelchairs that can support the weight of a large amount.

However, the downside to wheelchairs that are not foldable is that they can take up more space in the vehicle than folding models.

They can also change the tires to ones that are more suited to their new surroundings, or if they intend to do more outdoor activities.

Quick-Release Wheels

The quick-release wheel enables wheelchairs to be disassembled and reduced in weight and size. It also permits the simple inspection of wheels or the mounting of new tires. It is comprised of a small rod, also known as a skewer, that passes through the axle and a cam lever that grips the wheel to secure it in its place. These systems can be operated by pressing the lever using your palm. There are two primary types of quick-release axles: the standard one and a larger diameter version that is built into the frame and is called a through-axle.

Be sure to adjust the skewer as well as the cam before using an easy release. The narrow end of each spring should rest against the ends of the axle and, as you tighten the skewer, it must fit into a recess within the face of the cam or adjusting nut or else it will bend out of shape. It's easy to check this by spinning the skewer, with the adjusting nut off and looking for an opening that is wedge-shaped between the skewer's wide end and the axle locknuts' inner faces.

It is possible to open the lever and then close it by applying some force. The lever should be tight that it leaves a mark on your palm and is firm enough to hold the wheel securely.

Some cheap quick-releases have plastic parts in the mechanism, which decreases the force that you exert to secure the wheel. Also, some skewers that are cheap are made of lower quality steel, and therefore could be more susceptible to corrosion.

The lever should be positioned so that it sits close to the frame and has a curvaceous form that stops it from snagging onto anything. A protruding lever means that it is not fully closed, even though it could seem to be holding the wheel(s). If it is struck by something, a wheel lever that protrudes can loosen. To prevent this from happening, you should check that the lever is secured and closed before every ride.

Arms that can be removed

Some wheelchairs have an armrest that is fixed in height and cannot be removed or rotated up. This type of armrest is generally only used for transferring or to support a tray and can interfere with transfers or cause discomfort due to being too low to offer adequate arm support.

Some wheelchair models have adjustable rigging, which can be removed when not in use. This could reduce the weight of the wheelchair, making it more convenient to transport or move. Some of these wheelchairs feature a lighter frame with breathable seating material, as well as Mag spokes.
