Drive-Wheel Differences
![](https://mobilitymaxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/pc-2.jpg)
- Some of the most stable chairs on the market
- Weight is distributed to the back of the chair
- Highest top speeds available
- Have the largest turning radius
- Going up very step hills can cause the chair to lean back on the anit-tip tubes
![](https://mobilitymaxx.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/pc-4.jpg)
- The Drive-Wheels are in front of the seat
- Ideal for uneven terrain and up and down hills
- Can climb over small obstacles
- Slower top speeds
- Because most of the chair is behind you it is important to be aware of what is behind you at all times

- The Drive-Wheels are essentially under you
- Center of gravity is just about even with the center of the drive-wheels
- Ideal for maneuvering in small, tight places
- Not ideal for varied or uneven terrain that has steep transitions
