What is the difference between Wijit® and the 2-gear manual wheels?
In the Wijit lever drive system for wheelchairs, you propel the wheelchair by pushing on the levers in place of the handrims. This lever drive system is a one-speed drive which gives you a slightly greater than 1:1 drive speed when you push on the ends of the levers. You may shift between forward, neutral, and reverse, using a knob on the end of the lever, but there are not multiple speeds. The levers may be stored in a rearward position when necessary. Wijit does not have a built-in hill-holder with override as a part of its system. MAGICWHEELS 2-gear manual wheels is more similar to conventional wheelchair wheels, in that you control the wheelchair with the handrims. The 2-wheel drive has a built-in mechanical gear system in the wheels’ hub, much like that of a bicycle. You use this system only when you choose, by shifting into low gear. Because of the geared hub, the 2-gear wheels have 2 speeds, 1:1 and 2:1, and a built-in hill-holder in 2:1 speed.
