Virtually any hand-driven wheelchair can be driven and fixed easily on the tilted plateau of the wheelchair by one person without transferring the passenger. The widely placed and extra steered front-wheels ensure a reduced turning radius and hence, stability.

The VeloPlus is mostly used in homes or institutions for transporting various persons, because the wheelchair can be placed quickly and easily on the plateau by one person.
