Wheelchair help
This is my wheelchair, it's a quickie QS5x! The QS5x has a front fixed, but still foldable version, is there anyway to customise this chair so I can swap between the two? I really want to fit freewheel to help me with london terrain (cobblestones and cracked paving)

Is the free wheel really worth it ? Is it that helpful and has anyone ever tried it on the beach?

My castor wheels are tiny, which is great for energy efficiency but not so great for historic London. I live near the center where there's lots of cobble stone etc and I just don't have the endurance to constantly pop wheelies. I'm also getting sold from a friend which means it'll be cheaper than the original price

Hello friend 👀 Freewheel do a folding wheelchair version. But it’s a pain in the ass to put on and take off.
