Paving the Way for Affordable DIY Wheelchair Parts

d9ae66_ce6fbf466c0f45798b656223c3789386~mv2

Erik Kondo, a long-time advocate and pioneer in the adaptive lifestyle space, has launched a new venture aimed at making essential wheelchair parts more accessible and affordable by removing reliance on major companies and their high-profit margins. ​​Off-road wheelchair tires are key for navigating rough terrain, offering more freedom and access to the outdoors. This initiative also supports the right to repair and customize mobility devices. 

 

What’s Available?

Off-road wheelchair wheels are designed for those with an adventurous spirit or anyone needing a durable setup for diverse terrain

  • Product: Pair of 24"x1.95" (507) off-road wheels with axles and 1/2" spacers.
  • Price: $139 (includes direct drop shipping from China to your U.S. address)
How It Works
  1. Place your order for the wheels and axles via the DIY Wheelchair Supply website. DIY Wheelchair Supply Website
  2. Erik coordinates the logistics to ensure the wheels are drop-shipped directly to you.
  3. Install your new off-road setup and start rolling with confidence!
Disclaimer: The Kelly Brush Foundation does not endorse these products, as we have not tested them ourselves. However, we’re excited to hear more about Erik’s venture and its potential to empower wheelchair users with affordable options.
