Why Use Hand Rim or Push Rim Covers?
Are you pushing your wheels hundreds or even thousands of times every day? The interface you rely on most — the pushrim — matters.
Recent studies show that ergonomic or high-friction coated handrims can make a big difference: compared with standard metal rims, they significantly reduce hand and wrist pain, and lower fatigue in frequent manual mobility users.
By increasing surface area and providing a non-slip grip, hand-rim covers improve propulsion efficiency, reduce the strain on fingers and wrists, and help maintain better control — even on wet or slippery surfaces.
At niftikit.co.uk we’ve selected high-quality push rim covers designed to maximise comfort, reduce repetitive stress, and make daily mobility smoother and more comfortable.
