Using PBO Fiber for spokes on a wheelchair wheel offers numerous advantages over traditional metal spokes. PBO Fiber is exceptionally lightweight and durable, reducing overall wheelchair weight and enhancing maneuverability while maintaining strength and resilience. PBO Fiber spokes absorb vibrations, providing a smoother ride and minimizing discomfort for the user. Additionally, its corrosion-resistant properties make it ideal for long-term use in various environmental conditions, contributing to a more reliable and maintenance-free wheelchair experience.
