A curb-climbing rear wheel drive power wheelchair is disclosed having a pair
of
drive wheels, at least one ground-engaging idler wheel connected to the frame forward
of the drive wheels and at least one anti-tip wheel mounted above ground aft of
the drive wheels. The drive wheels and anti-tip wheels are mounted on common suspension
arms, pivoted to the frame of the wheelchair behind the drive wheels and resiliently
suspended, so that the anti-tip wheels move up and down in response to movements
of the drive wheel suspension.
