Currently, we don’t offer that option because, in order for the OctalWheels, Cross Slope Control and Flutter Control to attach to your wheelchair, they will need custom brackets and skilled mechanical operations to fit them. With the complete chair supplied by us, we all know that it’s going to be just right – otherwise, we don’t.
Octal wheels are a little wider and much heavier than standard wheels (about the same as E-assist, but there’s no problem with aeroplanes because there are no batteries.) So this chair won’t be as slick around the house. You can take off OctalWheels and put on standard wheels and then you have a standard chair. It takes less than a minute.
Secondly, although it only takes a minute to put on OctalWheels, so that you can go outside, any overhead burden associated with going outside means you’re less likely to get your exercise.
People find that the best solution is to have your OctalWheels chair just waiting at the door, ready to leap forward.
