Morph Wheels photos by Colin Ross The Morph Wheel works with most wheelchair designs, and with regular wheelchair tyres and fittings, meaning that as many people as possible can benefit from using them. Travel, by car and by air, can be very difficult if you use a manual wheelchair, because of the large size of them, even when folded. Users must buy cars to suit their wheelchairs rather than their lifestyle, and for many, the risk of damage to wheelchairs during air travel, because the chair is too large to come into the airplane cabin with them, means that air travel is often a difficult or impossible task. Large wheels are essential for wheelchairs, so wheelchair designs cannot fold as small as a folding bicycle, unless the wheels can fold as well. With the Morph Wheels, this can now happen, and wheelchairs can be used in so many new ways that were never possible before. The design and development of this world's first ever foldable wheel makes for a really interesting story.
The following video shows a few of the key development prototypes that were made throughout this journey from idea to manufactured product. Play and experimentation is crucial in the early stages of a project like this, slowly handing over to detailed technical development and design for manufacture. Before finding and working alongside the manufacturer, Maddak, it was essential to develop the concept folding wheel into a real life working prototype that could be used and demonstrated. These first usable wheelchair wheels were developed from CNC'd aircraft-grade aluminium and were perfect for demonstrating how much more you can do with a manual wheelchair, once you can also fold up the wheels. With these pre-production prototypes, the original idea finally became something of a reality and could be tested and evaluated for consumer feedback. This is a critical moment in the design process for any new product or idea, and is often called the "looks-like, works-like" prototype stage.
