Correct basic position
SmartDrive works best if you have had help adjusting and finding the right balance in your manual wheelchair.
When weight is shifted and too much behind the large rear wheels, the wheelchair becomes heavy to propel.
With a good balance, your weight is directly over the large wheels axle and propulsion is smooth.
