Design and Function 7.0
Handrim
Intended Use 7.1
Stealth Products wheelchair accessories include handrims, wheels and tires.
These provide the user with the ability to maneuver the wheelchair.
The handrim is the outer circular component of the maneuvering wheel intend-
ed for propelling a manual wheelchair for those with upper limb mobility.
Wheel
Tire
Wheelchair rear wheels are made up of the tire, rim (and handrim on manual
chairs) spokes (or mags), and a hub. The hub is the center of the wheel, the
spokes (or mags) connect the rim to the hub and the rim is where the tire is
mounted.
We offer solid tires that provide the best shock absorption and flat-free ride
possible with traction that rivals pneumatics. Non-marking tread ensures mini-
mal floor damage. Tires are delivered unmounted from the wheel and will ap-
