Are the wheels hard or soft. I have a small travel wheelchair with hard 8-in wheels and the ride is rough

I am not the person using the chair; however on a level sidewalk or driveway, the ride look smooth. I am one of the persons that pushes the person in the chair. The wheels are solid. I hope this answer is satisfactory. I love it better than the one I had previously; this one has handbrakes and the sides wove away from the chair. The fact about the side arms-is the main reason for getting the chair- to make the transfer from chair to car easier.

They are hard, but my sister said it was comfortable (we did add a good cushion). One important thing we really liked was that the hand controls for the person pushing made it safer for her. Also, it is considerably lighter than a traditional wheelchair. When you have to load and unload several times in a row, it makes a big difference.

These wheels are solid rubber, not pneumatic. The front ones are 8 inches but the rear ones, I believe, are 12 inches. It is a fairly comfortable ride for my daughter but this is not all-terrain. More for shopping trips and the like. You might need to invest in a more expensive chair with pneumatic tires for the best ride.

All the wheels come with rubber tires but no air pump needed. The ride on flat road is pretty smooth.

Nope. It has to be pushed by someone, since the wheels are small unlike a regular wheelchair

I second that request for soft wheels...while this dolly met my amateur educational needs, I am reluctant to even TRY to use it on anything other than perfectly flat/smooth surfaces...I may try to use this on a sidewalk or driveway if I could purchase some soft, rubber, under-inflated tires or something...

I believe they are plastic as they are solid, not soft. We used it inside until summer. After it was used outside the wheels were roughed up and I didn't want it to scratch up my floors. It's been a great bike though.

Very easy. It is like pulling or pushing a wagon. It has large wheels. It is a great ride for the price!

I have a problem with the 2 back wheels. After we had snapped on the wheels, we noticed the carriage was uneven. It's minor, but I can feel it when u push it. My only suggestion is to undo the wheel and put it back on. If nothing works, just send it back for a replacement. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

It's not easy to go over threshholds because the wheels are relatively small. Have to wrestle with it. A regular wheelchair works better there, with a notch on the back that the steering party can put their foot on to raise the front wheel slightly as needed. & the large wheels make it easier to push too. Can't speak to carpet, but almost tumbled my Mom out trying to do down a cobble stoned ramp at an art show in the streets. This chair is handy sometimes, but a real wheelchair probably works best for long-term situations. Mom used it to push her laundry to the laundry room yesterday...

Its not downy soft but mine is not 'stiff as a board'. Maybe someone else knows. *Always remember to search google/bing/yahoo /whatever for opinions and info.

The wheels are smooth at point of purchase and if they do not spend too much time on an abrasive surface they remain rather smooth. My son rides the tricycle indoors, on smooth concrete, and soft dirt. I discourage his riding it on gravel and rough asphalt.

Wheels are still a weakness on the unit......they are hard rubber on a metal rim. One of my wheels has a slight wobble.

I would say it is smooth and requires some torque to move it. A bit stiffer than I thought it would be but not to the point being unhappy. After some use I didn't and do not really notice it. Definitely stiffer than my 18-200.

Unfortunetly it is not to soft. However if you were to place a dog bed inside of it, it would be perfect! I hope this help's you out? You will not be disappointed with the cart. It is very strong, light weight, and folds up small enough to store out of the way. I use mine to haul my grocery's from the car the the house, and it works great.

They are hard. You can bend the legs somewhat, but they are not really flexible/soft at all.

The wheels are high grade, hard thick plastic. Our grandson has ridden on a concrete driveway for almost 2 years on it and the wheels are still as strong as they were when we purchased it. Very durable.

It's virtually a box cart on wheels. It's durable, but not meant for bad surfaces. I use it at the farmer's market and it's got curbs and cracks in the pavement. There are times when the spinning front wheels get caught. I would recommend pulling it; or getting another type of pull-cart that would be more durable for rough terrain. I've seen carts that look like pullie-duffle bags that might be better suited for your need.

The wheels are a hard plastic but very sturdy. They lock so they do not move much at all. I have not had any problems with the wheels.
