Wheel chair wheels wanted
Hi All,
I'm after a pair of wheel chair wheels for a go-kart project. I'm planning a reverse trike set-up and want to fabricate proper steering
at the front hence the wheel chair wheels so I can mount them from one side (otherwise I'd use MTB wheels).
What can you offer me chaps?

Not got any but before you discount MTB wheels, check out the Cannondale Lefty setup, uses single sided mounting as there's only one fork leg

Because kits are for girls!!

Did think of those, but figured wheel chair wheels would be more readily available and probably cheaper (the Locost principle is still in play here).

I work with wheelchairs.
you need to contact a company called AJ mobility in winchester.
tell them you are building a go kart for your kid or school project, make a nice story up that does NOT involve wheelchairs. speak to them nicely and
they may give them to you for free.
They are a nhs approved repairer and responsible for scrapping all old chairs. they have wheels coming out if their ear holes!!
U2u me uf you need help.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!
Please read my ring story:

 Thanks Bi22le, that sounds like an ideal and very local source!
I'll contact them this week.
