Installation, Operating & Care Instructions

For our US customers, this product is a LivingSpinal exclusive!

For whom are GEKKO handrims suitable?

For wheelchair users with complete hand function and with full or reduced manual power.

What advantages do GEKKO handrims offer?

Perfect ergonomics and outstanding grip combined with low weight make the Gekko a unique, revolutionary grip tire. The rugged, interchangeable silicone lip, fully integrated into the profile, contributes to the rider's exceptional handling characteristics and provides unsurpassed ride comfort. The anodized, low-friction surface on the sides also reduces the heat during braking.

Which profile size and coating do we recommend?

Gladly we recommend the Gekko S for small hands to children's hands. Children learn at a young age the right use or the right grip. For normal and large hands, we recommend the larger GEKKO profile.

How To Measure Your Handrim Dimensions:

Your wheels on your wheelchair have either a Tab Mount or a Rivnut system for securing the handrims in place. Use the chart below to determine what your wheels have and what size you need.
