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
ground-contacting anti-tip caster wheel mounted to the wheelchair aft of
the drive wheels. The drive wheels and anti-tip caster 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 caster
wheels move up and down in response to movements of the drive wheel
suspension.
