Freedom Wheels, as the name implies, gives you ‘wings’ to explore the world! Giving you the ability to escape the confines of your wheelchairs or other mobility equipment, it creates a whole new possibility of being able to commute, play, ride, explore, race and travel to where your heart desires.

Freedom Wheels are custom built bikes that are especially designed, built and modified to suit your age, height, weight, type of disability and physical and cognitive abilities.  Our team of highly skilled technical volunteers are well experienced in customising a new bike for you using a range of specially designed support components suited for children, youth, the middle aged or the elderly.  These components, including a wide range of outrigger wheels, hand, foot and upper body supports and even carer assisted steering and braking supports are made to be detachable for easy transport and storage.

The customisation process begins with an assessment of each individual at the comfort of your home, our compound or at a special assessment clinic by our very friendly experts, to identify the bike, components and modifications suited just for you.

Once your individual needs, likes and dislikes are assessed, the team of Freedom Wheels technical volunteers build the bike, and make it readily available for you to take home.

The Freedom Wheels program has been incredibly rewarding for children and their parents.  The one thing most noticeable is the smile and laughter of children when they get on their bicycles for the first time.

Freedom Wheels Experience Day out in Whyalla.  Contact us if you would like to inquire about hosting an experience day at your school, day options group or other inclusive venue.

Freedom Wheels Riding Bike
It means so much to us. I ended up in tears the day that we even looked at them (the bikes), let alone when the bike was actually delivered to him. We got to choose what we wanted on the bike, so he saw this bike with exactly what he chose and he was amazed that he can do it – he’s smiling and everything. He’s got all the intentions that one day he might be able to ride part of the way to school like all of the other kids and having this bike has given him the opportunity that this might happen one day. It’s just amazing to see him out with everybody else, doing “normal things” At this point Blake interrupts – “Yeah, not disabled” Mum Judith finishes by saying ”Don’t ever stop what you’re (TADSA) doing, it’s amazing.
