Product Spotlight: The FreeWheel
The FreeWheel(TM) Wheelchair Attachment was designed by Pat Dougherty, a quadriplegic, to allow users to push over surfaces that are usually unnavigable. The device is a large wheel that clamps to the footrest of a wheel chair and can spin 360 degrees. It lifts the smaller caster wheels and converts a chair from four wheels to three in minutes.
Dougherty lives in Boise, Idaho and loves the outdoors. The website advertises that FreeWheel "makes strolling, exercising, hiking or just checking the mailbox [...] so much easier."
The FreeWheel is made in Boise and sells for $499. Dougherty would like to mass produce it someday to lower the price. Testimonials and more photos are available at www.gofreewheel.com.
