sports wheelchair

Court-ready rolling seat

A sports wheelchair is a wheelchair designed for athletic competition rather than everyday mobility.

These chairs are typically lighter, lower to the ground, and more maneuverable than standard wheelchairs, with angled wheels for stability and quick turns.

Different sports require different designs: basketball chairs allow rapid pivoting, while racing chairs are streamlined for speed.
