Why is shock absorption important in wheelchairs?
Anyone in a wheelchair will know what it’s like to ride over cobblestones. The uneven paving, bumps and knocks that you have to endure are not very pleasant. You could even suffer from headaches and neck or back complaints as a result. Just like a car, your wheelchair needs shock absorbers. This is the only way to enjoy a relaxed outdoor ride in your wheelchair.
How do you make a wheelchair hip?
In general, wheelchairs are not a product that you wish to be seen in. This is mainly because of the standard appearance of a wheelchair. Most wheelchairs are colourless, boring and old-fashioned.
Inspiration from nature
That has to change. We are of the opinion that a wheelchair can definitely be made to look hip. It is possible to make a good-looking wheelchair, one that you want to be seen in. Our designer always says: a wheelchair should be an adornment for the body. That’s why the wheelchairs of O4 have a modern and unique design. For a trendy wheelchair we look for natural forms. Nature inspires us to build wheelchairs in round, organic and flowing forms, enabling the wheelchair to shed its old-fashioned character. The colour of the wheelchair is determined by the user.
