Talking about customised wheelchairs is not just about dimensions or materials – it is about identity. A wheelchair is part of our daily life, part of our image, of how we see ourselves and how we relate to others. Being able to choose colours, materials, shapes or configurations is not simply an aesthetic whim, but a way of turning a technical aid into an extension of our personality. Just like clothing, trainers or a car, a customised wheelchair says a great deal about who we are and how we want to be seen.
Customise your wheelchair: beyond the catalogue
Nowadays, there are wheelchair brands offering services that allow you to personalise your wheelchair beyond the standard catalogue options. It is not just about choosing from a set of predefined colours or accessories, but about creating unique modifications designed for each user. These customisations can range from aesthetic finishes, such as paintwork, special colours, patterns or embroidery, to functional changes, such as specialised wheels, coloured push rims or made-to-measure components that improve ergonomics and comfort.
There are also businesses that take creativity a step further, such as Izzy Wheels or Bergh Special Products, which allow you to turn your spoke guards into genuine works of art, so that your wheels reflect your unique personality.
Everyday accessories can also make a meaningful difference, such as a bottle holder integrated into the frame of your wheelchair. These external additions make the wheelchair not only more comfortable but also more practical for daily life, enhancing mobility, independence and interaction with your surroundings.
Customise your handbike with style and practicality
If you use a Batec handbike, personalisation is also possible through practical accessories: homemade rear-view mirrors, smartphone mounts, bottle holders or custom battery stickers.
3D printing technology has opened up a world of possibilities for creative users. Some have designed bespoke mounts, such as Joan Lascorz, who created one to carry his macaw while out riding his handbike. In the video, you can also see how he has customised his battery with the image of his riding kit.
Batec Mobility also offers accessories designed to maximise practicality, such as the Batec Excursion rucksack, ideal for carrying your belongings on urban routes or longer outings. This means that, even without modifying the main structure, your handbike can reflect your style and adapt seamlessly to your everyday needs.
Your wheelchair as a form of expression: beyond mobility
These ideas show that personalisation truly has no limits. Combining functionality, comfort and style transforms each wheelchair or handbike into a genuine extension of the user’s personality, turning mobility into far more than a necessity: into a powerful form of self-expression.
