Why does my Küschall Wheelchair not travel in a straight line?
- T
  Timothy KingAug 21, 2025
  If your Küschall Wheelchair isn't moving straight, it might be due to several reasons. One possible cause is incorrect tire pressure in one of the rear wheels; in this case, correct the tire pressure. Other potential causes include a bearing block of the front wheel not being in a vertical position (put bearing block in a vertical position), front wheels not adjusted to the same height (position the front wheels such that they touch the floor at the same time), one or more broken spokes (replace faulty spoke(s)), spokes tightened unevenly (tighten loose spokes), front wheel bearings that are dirty or damaged (clean or replace the bearings), or rear wheels that are off track (change track).

- C
  Catherine KerrAug 26, 2025
  If your Küschall Wheelchair tips backwards too easily, it might be because the rear wheels are mounted too far forwards, in this case, mount the rear wheels further back. Alternatively, the back angle might be too large, reduce the backrest angle. A further cause may be that the seat angle is too large, use longer vertical struts.

  christopher96Aug 31, 2025
  High rolling resistance in your Küschall Wheelchair can occur if the tire pressure in the rear tires is too low. Correct the tire pressure or replace the tube inside the tire. It can also happen if the rear wheels are not parallel, so ensure the rear wheels are parallel.

  If the front wheels of your Küschall Wheelchair wobble when moving fast, it could be due to too little tension in the front wheel bearing block. Tighten the nut on the bearing block axle slightly. Another possible reason is that the front wheel has worn smooth, in which case you should change the front wheel.
