RGK Maxlite – Manual Wheelchair

Wheelchair Description:
I recently repainted this super-thin box frame that provides extra stability. I also use Loopwheels in conjunction with this chair to make it more comfortable, along with a power assist attachment (previously with the Smartdrive, and now the SMOOV) and RGK FrontWheel. I have a Tarta backrest that provides extra support and an ergo-sit, which is very comfortable compared to a standard seat.

Personal Opinion:
This wheelchair has made me so much more mobile! The frame is made to fit my body measurements, making it feel like an extension of me instead of a hinder.

I recently repainted the frame to purple, which I love and the box style frame has very thin tubes (less than 1-inch diameter). The original backrest has been changed to a Tarta Backrest, as I needed extra support to keep me sitting up straight. The ergo-sit seating is also very comfortable compared to a straight seating area. Together these alterations enable me to sit in my chair for a lot longer than before, meaning my daily distance is only limited by the battery instead of my energy as I use a Smartdrive to help me get around independently. I also have Loopwheels and an RGK Frontwheel, which make the chair a lot more comfortable when going over rough terrain.

I would definitely recommend this chair to others, along with some additional Loopwheels as they make the overall experience a lot comfier!
