Arm and shoulder pain or injury is common among manual wheelchair users. However, with the installation of MAGICWHEELS, users need only exert half the effort to climb everyday obstacles. These attachable geared wheels offer two modes: 1:1, which is the same as a conventional wheelchair, and 2:1, which allows users to climb hills, brake and stop with half the effort. The black components against the carbon-fiber dish wheel convey a sleek, sophisticated, non-institutional look that speaks to its innovativeness. MAGICWHEELS is usable with 75 percent of wheelchairs, giving people the opportunity for an incalculable boost to their quality of life.
