Pretty Cool Wheelchair Accessories

Ewwwwwwwww to all of them Lαrα, sorry. 

Very cool stuff--must be a gal thing, to accessorize, right Butiki?!!!

Lαrα, please give link to site? Is it newdisability.com?

I have vinyl coated rims, and they have gotten splits which threaten to rip up my hands. Might be interested in these covers until I can save up for Natural Fit rims.

Reflectors are a real safety benefit when rolling through busy parking lots.  Lighter solution than these, which weigh 1gram each (!), is reflective tape, which you can apply to create an exotic spiral effect. Underseat lights function similarly. For lighting path ahead at night, I put a good LED bike light on my chair, which I can remove in a moment when not needed.

I wanted to get spoke guards to protect Lorenz's tail, but he hasn't had any problems yet. I don't want to take a chance, especially when we are outdoors going fast for his exercise. Where I live now, I cannot do this--but when I move to a place with no yard, I am more concerned that speed + tail could add up to injury. Sooooo, here's my favorite design, available at coolhubcaps.com; should look better on my black/satin titanium chair than on this one!


When I was looking for crutch holders, I was shocked at the cost and also how heavy they were. I don't need to carry my forearm canes with me frequently, but when I do, I need them to be secured as I am carrying a lot of other gear. So, I decided to make my own! Mine are very lightweight, mere ounces. What I used were 1" plastic buckles and short lengths of 1" nylon webbing, four loops that are threaded through secure areas on chair and can release canes in seconds yet hold them in place securely. They are easy to reach and release, even when hand function is not reliable. An added benefit is since they are on chair all the time, they can be utilized in other ways. I slip one off and use it to hold up the back end of a grocery wagon, so I can load items from back end easily. Here is pic of the type of clip:

Heres how i attach my forearm crutches to my power chair . A piece of black plumbing tube screwed to the chair and velcro at the top

to my manual chair, i just have little plastic mesh rests attached at the bottom of my chair and at the top velcro which doubles as a way to hold my wheelchair together when it gets folded
i tried to put that picture in but couldnt get it to work
