Winter is coming! Check out our range of snow wheelchairs, childrens special needs sledge and mobility scooter rain canopys.

We have an extensive range of innovative products to get you through the winter weather no matter what!

• Wheelchair users understand their conventional everyday wheelchair is not always suitable in any terrain
• For those who use a mobility scooter - trips into town may be interrupted by rain or windy weather
• For children and babies with special needs their buggies and wheelchairs may limit what they can do and where they can go

Tips for Winter Weather

• Plan your journey. Check the weather forecast; icy or wet weather can affect the grip of your wheelchair or scooter tyres. Avoid unnecessary journeys if the weather is particularly bad.
• Ensure your electric wheelchair or mobility scooter has sufficient charge. Cold weather can affect your scooter battery performance, especially if you store your scooter outdoors. Keep it in a shed or garage if you have one or remove the battery and bring it indoors when not being used.
• Be visible. It gets darker earlier in winter so invest in a hi-vis vest or accessory to help keep you safe on roads or streets with limited lighting.

FreeWheel Wheelchair Attachment

Get out into the snow this Christmas with the FreeWheel Wheelchair Attatchment that allows you to easily and safely traverse any rough terrain.

Weighing less than 5 lbs. it is easy to install ... and when you go inside, it easily stores on a "perch" on the back of your chair, which is included with the FreeWheel.

• Lightweight under 2.5kg - alothough very sturdy, built from aircraft quality aluminium allowing you to push over surfaces that would otherwise be difficult or impossible.
• Clamps easily and securley onto the one-piece footrest on your rigid frame wheelchair.
• The large front wheel has less resistance than small castors and makes it easier to roll on any surface, whether you are alone, or with a companion.
• A detent mechanism keeps the front wheel straight to improve stability and handling but, by applying slight pressure, it will release, allowing you to quickly and easily turn in any direction.
• The FreeWheel comes complete with an attachment that locks onto the crossbar behind your seat back and holds your FreeWheel firmly in place when you need to stow it.

What is included in the pack?

Comes with everything you need to fit your footrest as well as a storage perch. Kit includes multiple rear ends, shims and perch parts that can be configured to fit different types of footrests. Instructions included.

Fitting

Wheelblades

Wheelblades are miniature skis which attach to wheelchairs and strollers with one click, greatly improving the user's mobility

Function

The wide Wheelblade contact surface distributes the wheelchair driver’s pressure evenly onto the ground and prevents the small front wheels from sinking into the snow. The blades run over the ground with very little pressure and have no problem smoothing out rough spots. Two tracking channels on the Wheelblade underside compress the snow, ensuring stability; this is to say that you move along as if on rails. In addition to this the Wheelblades are very handy due to their low weight: A few seconds are enough to attach them to all commonly used wheels. The adjustable clamp lock covers all wheel widths from 1.8 to 6 cm.

Benefits

All this amounts to the fact that Wheelblade transportation on snow matches moving along on tarmac – no more balancing out on large drive wheels required. This means that helpers have no problem pushing the wheelchair along when drivers feel exhausted. In addition to this, objects may be carried on one’s lap and even minor snowy hills can be managed thanks to this practical form of support. Yet best of all is that new-found feeling of freedom – the knowledge that one’s physical disability is no longer amplified by structural obstacles: The feeling that you can enjoy the winter.

Key Features

• Quick attachment requires little strength. Changing from blades to wheels can be done quickly and without problems.
• Due to their handy size and low weight you can take your Wheelblades wherever you go.
• High-end, robust materials make the skis shock- and fraction-proof.
• Thanks to the adjustable clamp lock, Wheelblades can be used anywhere.
• Wheelblades enable helpers for the first time to push wheelchair drivers in snow.
• The market’s least expensive and least complicated solution.
