Unfortunately it wasn't clear to me whether you really could push from the wheelchair.
I thought I saw one wheelchair user grabbing the rim of the wheel in a way that looked like he could push himslf. Although the wheels are wide they aren't thick. So it looked possible. If you can't push the wheelchair yourself, it isn't as cool as I thought. IMHO
I don't think there's any IMHO about it, it isn't as cool. But it's always easier to modify and improve stuff once the idea is out there, so here's hoping for the all-terrain self-propelled beach wheelchair soon :-).
