Five Easy Ways To Prevent Wheelchair Repair
You can easily end up paying hundreds of dollars to repair your wheelchair. In order to avoid having to spend a large sum of money, read our guide to five easy ways to prevent wheelchair repair:
- Make sure your wheelchair tires have an optimum level of air to assist your movement. A flat tire can wear out your battery or cause you strain when pushing your wheelchair.
- Clean your wheelchair on a regular basis to keep the parts running smoothly and avoid rust.
- Check to make sure the axle and axle plate on your wheelchair are tight. This will ensure the axle doesn't become damaged during movement.
- Check the nuts and bolts to make sure they're tight and that no wheelchair parts will come loose.
- Exercise caution when going through very steep inclines. There is a possibility that your wheelchair may flip over.

I have a phoenix drive scooter.. this was bought knew but sat a very long time in the store.. I bought new battery's for this...It still does the same thing, it will go forward about a inch and reverse VERYSLOW..I have cleaned all the wire connections that I know of...I can not afford to call a repair man.. I need this chair badly and hope to find someone who can give free advise as to hopefully fix my chair with a adjustment or cleaning of something.. If parts are needed, I have to wait on that.. It just don't seem like new parts will be needed on a new scooter.. I thank anyone that can help with there (opinion) on what might help, I understand its just your (opinion) something I can try myself... I need help, I need my chair..
