Purchased Air Pump For Use With My Power Wheelchair
[ Tuesday April 29th 2025 at 10:42 am ]
One of my power wheelchair tires seems to have a slow leak. I am out of town for a medical appointment later today. I need to pump the tire up so it won't go flat and render my power wheelchair serviceable. I have just purchased a small hand powered air pump that I may use with my power wheelchair tires when I am away from home. It came with a bracket. I will mount this on the underside of my power wheelchair seat pan. I clearly have the ability to top up my tires with air when I am away from home. This will be helpful in the winter months when I go from my home to medical appointments. The cold winter weather partially deflates the tires on my power wheelchair. I can see myself developing a small emergency breakdown kit for use with my power wheelchair. I need to give some thought to what roadside maintenance that is possible to occur on the side of the road with my power wheelchair. I also need to think about what myself as the user may need.
