Frequently Asked Questions

Gecko Traxx tyres have been designed to fit as many wheelchairs as possible without the need for modification. However, there is two important consideration to assess your chair for suitability:

  1. Brakes
    Certain types of brakes can interfere with Gecko Traxx, such as Push/Pull brakes. Gecko Traxx works best with scissor lock brakes, compact wheel lock brakes and wheel hub lock brakes as demonstrated in the images below:
  2. Wheel Size
    Gecko Traxx is currently available for two size wheels of 24” and 25”.

If you’re unsure or need help to know if they fit your wheelchair, don’t hesitate to get in contact with us via phone or email.

Sand is arguably the toughest terrain for wheelchairs, and Gecko Traxx is made to tackle it!

While there will still be a bit of effort to push along sand even with Gecko Traxx on, they’ve been proven to reduce strain by at least 50% and more importantly, Gecko Traxx ensure you won’t sink into the sand. It’s the difference between being able to push through sand and not with a set of Gecko Traxx.

You can compare them to a set of large wide wheels, but portable, lightweight and won’t cut your hands.

We recommend complimenting a set of Gecko Traxx with a front-wheel attachment to lift off the front casters such as a Free Wheel or an Out Front wheel by GTK.

Yes you certainly can! You have two options:

    1. Consumables
      Gecko Traxx is classified as a consumable like that of a wheelchair tyre. If you are self-managed, simply purchase the item online and claim back the purchase in your MyGov portal. If you’re plan managed, request an invoice from us to be sent off to your plan manager.
    1. Assistive Technology
      Gecko Traxx also falls under low-cost, low-risk assistive technology. If you are self-managed, simply purchase the item online and claim back the purchase in your NDIS MyGov portal. If you’re plan managed, request an invoice from us to be sent off to your plan manager.

We’re working towards being an NDIS registered provider, in the meantime, if you have any questions please feel to contact our team.

Yes they are. If you’re into winter adventures with snow, Gecko Traxx works just the same in snow as it would for sand.
