DIY Wheelchairs are about  Solutions

Resized_20241009_173510_1728510388979.jpeg

The primary purpose of building a manual DIY Wheelchair is to solve mobility problems. If you currently don't have any wheelchair mobility problems, then you don't need a DIY Wheelchair. 

I think that DIY Wheelchairs are most practical as (1) your auxiliary (backup) wheelchair, (2) special purpose wheelchairs such as for Off-road, beach, snow, gravel/dirt, road races, etc., or (3) for emergencies. Note. If someone doesn't have a wheelchair, it is an emergency. Hopefully, your primary wheelchair is a well made and properly fitting, non DIY wheelchair.

​

DIY Wheelchairs are intended to compliment and increase your mobility solutions, not to replace what you are currently using unless absolutely necessary.
