Upgrade Your Wheelchair With Wheelchair Parts and Accessories

You can significantly improve the performance of your wheelchair by upgrading with the right wheelchair parts. With the right accessories, you can also make your wheelchair more comfortable. eBay offers a wide range of wheelchair parts and accessories for sale.

If you are going to be out and about when it is dark or in dimly lit places, then consider adding LED lights to your wheelchair. Unless you are improving visual safety for a road-ready mobility scooter, these do not have to be road-safe recommended. Instead, consider the more cost-effective and pavement-visible Catherine wheel effect of lights added to your wheels. You can also add them to the external surface of the backrest, as well as to any front-panel or side surface for added visibility in low light conditions.

Yes, plenty of them. Wheelchair users are often overlooked by pedestrians as they are scanning at a standing head-height rather than a seated level. Additionally, there is plenty to distract a pedestrian on the highstreet. By making your wheelchair hard to ignore with lights, colours, or even a horn, you can improve your safety in public places.

For those with an electric-powered wheelchair or mobility vehicle, there are a number of replacement parts available on eBay to allow full functionality. There are several joystick controller variants, including those with prominent knobs for users with restricted arm and hand flexibility. You can also find clamps and straps for securing an electric wheelchair safely in a car or van. Castor wheels, front wheels, tires, and rear-wheel replacements can be found, as well as batteries designed for specific models. To ensure compatibility, check the manufacturer's website for full details before purchase.

Improve your ride with the following accessories:

• Handrim covers: Metal rims can be very cold in winter, and they can also be very slippery and hard to grasp. If you prefer not to wear gloves, or want the added grip, handrim covers come in a choice of textures. Most commonly rubberised products that stretch into place, they are easy to change to suit the season.
• Seat pads: The standard wheelchair seat doesn't always offer the best comfort for users. Memory foam seat pads will relieve pressure and accommodate individual sitting styles.
• Armrests: Depending on the age and model of your wheelchair, upgrading your armrests may be a quick way to increase comfort levels. Available as swing-away models or with added padding, not all rests fit all wheelchair models, so ensure compatibility before purchase. Additionally, each wheelchair part may have a slightly different procedure, so refer to the manufacturer's instructions before fitting.
