Start using the wheelchair
The EVO is an active wheelchair designed for people with physi-
cal disabilities who may wish to perform intense external activity.
It is ideal for indoor locations (at home or at work) and outdoor
leisure, but requires that the ground/area is solid and not
slippery..
To find the tipping point, a carer or consultant
must always be present, and must be positioned
just behind the wheelchair to prevent it from
tipping completely.
To determine the tipping point and therefore understand the safe
limits of your maneuvers, proceed as follows (see pic. 4):
You are sitting in your wheelchair. Move forward strongly holding
the handrails of the rear wheels. With as light pulling back of the
handrails while shifting your body weight back, the front of the
wheelchair will rise up.
As soon as the front wheels begin to rise, quickly push your
bodyweight forward and reverse push on the handrails in order to
keep the tip under control. This will allow you to find the tipping
point.
