Set Your Wheelchair Free with the FreeWheel

Standard wheelchairs, with two small front caster wheels, don’t handle uneven terrain, gravel, or dirt very well. Enter the FreeWheel. Patrick Dougherty, injured in a motocross accident and now a C6/C7 quadriplegic, wanted his wheelchair to give him more freedom, and so designed a wheelchair attachment including a larger, threaded wheel that can handle off-road terrain much better than a standard wheelchair.
This new innovative wheelchair attachment will be shown this weekend at the LA Abilities Expo, and we’re pretty sure that it’ll be a hit. Paraplegics, quadriplegics, or anyone using a wheelchair can enjoy a much greater sense of freedom, and it seems like a ton of fun. Just take a look at this video of the FreeWheel to see why.
