BOWLS SPORTS WHEELCHAIRA sport for your future, participate, compete and socialise from a chair built to your exact specifications.
Built to comply with New Zealand Bowls regulations for using wheelchairs on the green (but always check with the grounds-person). Bowls holders can be mounted above as shown or below the chair.
The low ride height puts you closer to the green and the wide castor positions allow your feet to clear the castor wheels. We can also offset the castors and main wheel on your bowling side to provide you with more clearance if required.
What ever you can think of to improve your game, we can build for you.
