DIY Wheelchair Supply

A Nonprofit Initiative of the 501(c)3 NOT-ME! Inc.

For too long, the Legacy Wheelchair Industry has had the monopoly power to control the personal mobility of wheelchair users by only selling their proprietary (overpriced) wheelchairs and expensive brand name repair parts.  To main their high profit margins, the development of affordable aftermarket wheelchair parts supply chains has been purposely discouraged. 

 

My goal is to enable wheelchair users to build and repairs their own wheelchairs by building a supply chain with aftermarket manufacturers. Thereby, circumventing the Legacy Wheelchair Industry control of wheelchair parts.

How it Works

The way to sell wheelchair parts as inexpensively as possible is by reducing overhead to a bare minimum. By Drop Shipping directly from the manufacturer significant cost savings are created. By not profiting from sales (except for administrative expenses), even more savings are passed on.
