wheelchairs have gotten better. Sit skis are now made. There are more events. It isn't called wheelchair olympics it is called the paraolympics.

I volunteer my time building and fixing power wheelchair equipment for a sport called Power Soccer as part of a non-profit organization. I have had some luck finding used and donated sources for some parts, except for batteries. Wheelchair batteries are vital to compete in this sport, and a new set of batteries costs about $300. Are there any companies or organizations out there that would help?
I know precisely which batteries are correct, and I normally buy them online. I can't find any local stores willing to give away or significantly discount their most expensive batteries. Any other ideas would be very welcome!

Typical wheelchair batteries are basically just deep-discharge batteries in a few common sizes. Talk to local battery stores and see if they can help.

Amputees compete in wheelchair basketball and volleyball, and swimming. They also compete in track events with prosthetics... There are probably more, but that's what I know off the top of my head. You can compete in practically anything as an amputee, in a wheelchair or with CP.

How does one get started in wheelchair sports? I've been disabled for 11 years and I'm sick of being lazy. I would love to try to train for maybe something like a 5K or smaller? I have no clue where to start. Any ideas? (I'm in the DC area). Thanks!

well get yourself into rehab and let them do an evaluation then go to a medical supply stores and get yourself a custom running wheelchair which are a three large wheels with two besides you and one out front or a sport chair which has a steeper wheel angles which stick out more and then you get out there to local races join clubs if you use a wheelchair or not you can still compete that is what the ada is here for you to help you compete with the amplatory oh and have fun and try not to break a leg
