The Benefits of the WheelEEZ Quick Release Axle System

Getting outside and exploring shouldn’t be a struggle. If you use a wheelchair, you know how challenging sandy beaches, gravel paths, muddy parks, or uneven ground can be with standard wheels. The right equipment can make all the difference but nobody wants to invest in bulky, expensive, or difficult-to-use mobility solutions.

Why WheelEEZ Balloon Wheels Make All the Difference

Standard wheelchair wheels are built for smooth surfaces. WheelEEZ™ balloon wheels are specially designed for the outdoors:

• Extra-wide and soft: Their large, low-pressure construction (available in 300mm, 420mm, or 490mm sizes) distributes your weight, so you glide over sand, grass, mud, snow, and gravel, no more sinking or getting stuck.
• Durable and lightweight: Made from tough polyurethane for reliability, yet easy to handle.
• Designed for comfort: The smooth ride means you can join in at the beach, roll through fields, or enjoy festivals without limits.

But until now, using balloon wheels often meant swapping out your whole wheelchair or wrestling with awkward fittings.

Upgrade Instantly with the WheelEEZ™ Quick Release Axle Kit

That’s where the WheelEEZ™ Quick Release Axle Kit comes in. It lets you easily swap your standard wheels for balloon wheels, giving you the freedom to explore outdoors and the flexibility to use your chair indoors as usual.

Why customers love it:

• Quick & easy swaps: The push-button release system lets you change wheels in seconds, no tools required.
• Customisable options: Choose from 300mm, 420mm, or 490mm balloon wheel kits to suit your favourite activities and the terrain you want to tackle.
• Flexible hub bore sizes: Kits are available with either 12mm or 12.7mm hub bore fittings, compatible with a wide range of wheelchairs.
