Full Description
The BT-X model was specially designed for our most active users and features interchangeable wheel sets. In everyday mode, the BT-X runs Spinergy LX wheels with high performance rear tires and Frog Legs forks with soft roll casters on the front. In multi-terrain mode, the BT-X runs Sun Zero G wheels with Schwalbe Nobby Nic tires in the rear and Frog Legs forks with 6″ x 1.5″ soft roll casters rotated forward on the frame. In beach mode the BT-X runs custom built rear wheels with 4″ wide tires and 9″ x 5″ balloon tires rotated forward for extra stability and flotation on sand.
Since the BT-X is designed to use different tire and caster combinations there are no issues changing between wheel sets. Switching your chair from one mode to another can be done at home or on the road in a hotel room, car, beachfront or anywhere that is convenient. The seat angle or ‘dump’ is designed to be the same with every wheel set. However, the overall seat height raises an inch in the front and rear of the chair in beach mode and multi-terrain mode to allow more clearance over objects.
Switching from an everyday chair to a beach chair, multi-terrain chair, or off road chair only takes five minutes and no tools. Simply remove the push button quick release rear wheels and replace them with the beach wheels or multi-terrain wheels which are pre-set at the Lasher Sport shop to have adequate clearance between the tires and seat. Then, remove the front caster assembly using the quick release flip-lock levers and replace with the beach wheel caster assembly or multi-use caster assembly. That’s it!
Traveling is easy with an extra set of interchangeable wheels, but it’s even easier when you’re towing a Lasher Sport X-Trailer to haul your extra wheels, backpack or even luggage. The X-Trailer is designed to fit a standard airline carry-on bag that can be taken through TSA security and stored under the plane at the loading gate. Whether you’re off-road or airborne, hauling gear has never been more simple and convenient.
Cognitive Abilities
For safe independent use, users must understand cause + effect (action = result). Independent use requires directional understanding (i.e. moving the wheels in one direction results in matching chair movement), problem solving (i.e. combine + time movements to get from A to B), and judgment (ability to learn that if something is unsafe they should not do it).
Functional Abilities
Users must have sufficient vision, trunk control and enough upper extremity grip, strength and stamina to steer and/or propel the chair. For foot propulsion, users must also have functional use of at least one lower extremity. Their adjustable foot and armrests and seat position make them appropriate for users requiring minimal positioning. This chair may not be appropriate for those with visual deficits, uncontrolled seizures, bilateral upper extremity weakness and those with poor trunk control.
Environment
Standard wheelchairs can be used both indoors and outdoors. They perform best on firm, flat surfaces such as pavement, groomed footpaths, cycle paths and in and around home. While it can be used outdoors, they not intended to be used on rough terrain, slopes, loose gravel, or sand. Their relatively small turn radius makes them appropriate for indoor use where space is limited.
Activities
Their maneuverability and small turn radius make standard wheelchairs ideal for use in tight spaces (stores, elevators, public washrooms, public transit etc.). While they can be used outdoors, they are best for activities done on flat level surfaces like urban sightseeing or sidewalk commuting.
Please speak with your healthcare provider and schedule an in-person consultation before purchasing this product, to evaluate whether it is truly the best option for you.
