Wheelchair with Levers

Description of Invention

Because my grandmother cannot walk without assistance, I decided to create a new wheelchair. She also has poor grip strength caused by rheumatism. I used two pedal-type kickboards to apply the principle of leverage to its handles so that even a user with poor grip strength can move the wheelchair easily. A brake is installed on each lever that moves the left and right wheels. Users can maneuver the wheelchair freely and easily without arm strength by moving and stopping each wheel using only one hand.
