My son Cameron could not keep up with other kids outside in his wheelchair. This mod turned his wheelchair into a hotrod! Now he can be included and keep up with the kids on their bikes and scooters. I just need to figure out a way to slow him down. ;)
Power assist for a wheelchair costs over $2500. Big expense for Families in that situation. This modification can be done for under 200 bucks.
Razor Power Rider 360 [ Ссылка ]
U-bolt clamp [ Ссылка ]
Truss clamp (measure the axel diameter to buy the right size truss clamp) [ Ссылка ] This one works for 1-1/4 to 1-3/8 axel. Replace through bolt with longer bolt to go through the Razor tube.
Attach a truss clamp to the axel exactly in the center. Good idea to use electric tape to protect the finish on the axel. The bolt on the truss clamp needs to be long enough to go through the main powerrider tube.
Loosely attach the U-Bolt to the main power rider tube with the bolt ends facing upwards. Move the pipe clamp up and down the main powerrider tube so that the clamp contacts the crossbar on the wheelchair just enough to lift the front wheels off the ground a inch or so and tighten. I recommend also splitting a piece of PVC pipe in half with two holes to go over the bolt ends so the crossbar rests on the pvc instead of the metal to protect the coating on the crossbar. The wheelchair i put it on is a Panthera but this should work with most similar chairs with slight modification.
