Does anyone know where more of wheelchair wheels included in the kit can be purchased? Also and more specifically, does anyone know where the wonder wheels can be purchased (wheels with rollers that roll perpendicular to the plane that the wheel aligns in). Do these wheels count as “Skyway Wheelchair Wheels” as in the additional parts list?
Thanks
Patrick

The roller wheels don’t count as Skyway Wheelchair Wheels. The only thing that count as Skyway Wheelchair Wheels are Wheelchair Wheels made by the Skyway Corporation. I believe more wheels can be purchased directly from Skyway. If you want rollers wheels, you’ve got to design and machine them yourself.

Thanks for the info. btw, if anyone is looking for a URL for Skyway, it is:
http://www.skywaytuffwheels.com
You will need to click on distributors to find a place where you can actually place an order.
