Abstract
The invention relates to a wheelchair having a frame, a seat, a backrest, wheels and attachments fixed to the frame, characterized in that colored cladding parts can be detachably fixed, particularly by plug or clamp connections, to substantially any part or component of the wheelchair. This makes it possible in a simple and inexpensive manner to bring about a variable color design for the overall wheelchair. The cladding parts are preferably constructed as flat plastic parts which can be locked by means of projections formed in or on the cladding parts into corresponding recesses in the wheelchair or can be slid into longitudinal grooves in the frame of the wheelchair.
