Glide Centro Bariatric Mid Wheel Drive

Description

Active Pozi-Trak drive system. (APT)APT is a unique suspension system patented by Glide and was developed to enhance the performance of its latest Mid Wheel Drive wheelchair.
The APT system is a three-functional operation which increases traction on the Drive Wheels, aids with Kerb Climbing and acts as an anti-pitch device.
The suspension system also eliminates nose-dive when descending roadside kerbs.
The drive wheels are set positive, meaning when the wheelchair is on a level ground, a preload of up to 20kg (depending on spring set-up type) is on each drive wheel.
This unique system greatly improves traction for driving and braking.
It also performs extremely well in emergency downhill braking.
This system is a very low-maintenance system and has eliminated the need for complex moving parts that need constant servicing or adjustments.
Additionally, with the combination of varying spring setups, your wheelchair can be fine-tuned to suit your driving preference.
e.g. Biased for more traction or increased kerb climbing ability.
