Why Athletes Use Wheelchairs with SLANTING Wheels?
Athletes often use wheelchairs that have slanting wheels - this type of slanting wheel assembly is known as a camber. The wheels of these wheelchairs are tilted outwards at an angle, creating a "V" shape in the front. In technical terms, there is an angle between the wheel's plane and the vertical, called the camber angle, and such wheels are commonly known as cambered wheels.
