Power to the customer

How we started, where we're going

Remember when there was only one choice for wheelchair wheels? Imagine going into a Footlocker and only seeing Nikes in 7 or 8 colors. This was a picture of the wheelchair wheel world, but not anymore. At Vapor, we are here to change that.

‎

Finally, you have a choice in one of the important components on your chair, the wheels. There is no substitute for the drive, passion and commitment we have at Vapor Wheels to change the landscape an upside down mobility industry. We make wheelchair wheels and that is it. It is what we know, it is what we love and it is we do best.

‎

What is next for Vapor Wheels? Innovation. We will keep expanding our offering to include a comprehensive line of wheelchair wheels that meet the needs and demands of our users. Vapor will aim to exceed customer service expectations and develop relationships with our clients, not just sales.
