If you have a belt drive chair and want more speed from it you can (in many cases) change the pulleys and buy a larger diameter pulley to fit the motors. Some chairs can have a smaller pulley bolted or welded to the wheels. You can't get rediculous about the size change but a 3 inch pulley reduced to a 2.625 (2 5/8)is a major speed increase. You can order casters from hamilton caster Ohio. They are online. They will have what you need. I may have some old casters with bolt stems that are freaky indestructable. I have no tires but these adjust to 4 different sizes of tires.

Even if I paid cash. The batteries are smaller, 22s instead of 24s. So I brought it to Southwest Mobility in Phoenix . I called them and they said I could pay them to do it. It took them 15-20 minutes, then said “No Charge.” They are so nice there, have lots of parts in stock. When he was done, he showed me all their chairs. Some new European chairs and some cool features. This one not only has a seat raiser, but it lowers you to the floor too. Mostly for kids, but adults can use it too. I think my next chair I hope to get the 21st Century Bounder with a standing frame that tilts and reclines. Not the best looking chair, but reliable and Fast! Still uses belt drive, but big fast motors. I only wish my insurance would use these guys. But at least my backup chair now works. Greg
