We also put HDPE "Sliders" on the front so that we can hit harder and carry ourselves up.
These are what is in the middle. You need to have a smooth movement up the stairs (can't stop and go, stop and go) because you need a little momentum. We chose to use non-powered wheels in front in hopes of not riding on balls really easily.
