Fitment and Compatibility
Slick Skis fit most wheelchairs, but it's best to make sure before ordering.
They're extremely easy to attach to almost any chair, as long as the proportions of the chair are correct. Attach while sitting right in your chair, and easily fit to the front caster wheels.
To fit into the Slick Skis, front wheels must be between 3" - 12" in diameter. They must also be between 0.75" - 2" in width.
Ski Dimensions
Ski Length - 21-1/4"
Ski Width - 4-1/6"
Ski Thickness - 3/16"
Slick Skis need clearance from your rear wheels. To find out if Slick Skis are compatible with your chair, you must measure the WTW(Wheel to Wheel) distance of your chair.
Below is a step by step process to find your WTW distance and see if Slick Skis will work for you
Step 1: Roll your wheelchair forward to make sure the caster wheels are in the back position.
Step 2: Open your tape measure and lock it, and hold it straight down from the axle pin to the ground to find where the center of your wheel lines up with the floor.
Step 3: Keeping the tip of the tape measure in the same spot on the floor, lay your tape measure forward along the side of the wheelchair.
Step 4: Measure the distance from the tip of the tape measure to the middle of the front caster wheel, or where the front caster wheel touches the floor.
This is your WTW(Wheel to Wheel) distance, and it must be greater than 17 inches for Slick Skis to fit. Many wheelchairs can be modified to increase this distance in simple ways like moving the center of gravity backwards a few inches on the chair.
If your chair is close, may of our customers have used a spacer between their caster wheel and the front of the Slick Ski to meet the WTW requirement.
