Well I'm looking forward to getting my wheelchairs even more now! This is how I'm going to start my journey using them which is amazing. Thank you girls and all the amazing designers!

[@bookhousegirl]

Fantastic! I use a stick and I've just customised it with galaxy print Duck Tape and it goes a long way in helping me feel less like an old woman at 32! These wheels are sooo pretty 😍.

[@nowayitsjennie]

I bought a stick from a company called stick and cane shop and they have the cutest folding sticks in all different designs. Definitely feels like a fashion accessory as well as a mobility aid.

[@imalionimaqueen7234]

I know it's a bit more complicated than duct tape, but a way that people customize their bikes is by using vinyl, it's durable and has so many fun colors, I'm going to use that for my new chair and I'm so excited!🥰

I’ve covered my cane in stars

Lucy's outfit at 2:41 looks so cool, and her wheels match too.

[@goblin-teeth]

I bet she plans an outfit around her wheels every day ❤

[@LaughOutRandom]

Definitely!!

[@sid2tiger6]

Awesome! What a great idea to customize your mobility device. My aunt would love this for her wheelchair!

[@chrisdooley6468]

How could two people actually down vote this video? Seriously? What you didn’t like the designs?

[@sophiem7791]

Chris Dooley this isn’t redit 👀😂

[@anbucaptain3183]

I didn't like how they stole the idea from a youtuber

[@clarytaylor8582]

AnbuCaptain ...what. believe it or not, multiple people with wheelchairs customize their wheels. they just made a company of it. it isn’t a stolen idea, it’s someone actually doing something that hundreds have thought of.

[@linolium4814]

I'm a wheelchair user as well and I would like to have wheels like that, but they're so expensive!

[@sandsnake04]

You are amazing!

[@oliviahegarty1959]

[@LS-fe4ob]

Fantastic!!!

[@EliteXtasy]

Ailbhe is beautiful inside and out.

[@polkadots9675]

This is just great! Just want to ask what are these covers made of, because if it's plastic covered with printed sticky paper, I'm afraid it won't last under wet weather..

[@wessyde9476]

That's rad

[@RetroPlus]

Have you seen the wheelchair captain Xavier did with the gun on the back? It was awesome.
