Product Review by Joni: (meet our team)
These metal wheel stands are made for cleaning motorcycle tires, but I found another use for them. If you purchase a pair, you can use them indoors (or when space is limited) to exercise using your wheelchair or tricycle. Place them on the floor in a parallel position, roll onto them, and get to it! If you are working toward a goal, it may be helpful for you to log the precise distance traveled. You can do this by adding a bike computer onto your mobility device (like this one: CATEYE Urban Wireless Bike Computer https://a.co/d/5aKTFGc).
Pros:
- Each stand has a built-in ramp, so I was able to push myself and my mobility device onto them.
- The textured, non-slip wheels turn freely, and the heavy-duty construction feels solid (each stand has a 500 lb. capacity).
- Since they’re made of aluminum, they won’t rust or corrode.
- The stands can be stacked when not in use, saving space.
Meh:
- Since they are made of aluminum, they aren’t super heavy (each stand weighs about 4 lbs).
- Although it is fairly easy for me to lift, carry, and position them, they are metal and have square edges, so you’ll want to be very careful not to drop them.
- Depending on your setup, you may need a wheel dock or two in order to stabilize wheels that are unable to be locked. (You can make your own, or you can purchase something like this: Camco Wheel Dock with Rope Handle https://a.co/d/fT0qHnD.)
Cons:
- Nothing really to report here.
