Hot Wheels is expanding representation for kids who use wheelchairs -- with the company's first-ever remote-controlled wheelchair toy
The toy was created in collaboration with five-time Wheelchair Motocross World Champion and Paralympic athlete Aaron"Wheelz" Fotheringham. Fotheringham, who was born with spina bifida and has been a full-time wheelchair user since the age of eight, is known for performing elaborate tricks and back flips in his wheelchair.
"What I enjoyed about going to the skate park, and what I still enjoy, is you can be as creative as you want," Fotheringham added."You're never really bored. If you're bored you're not progressing."The athlete says that he"couldn't even believe it" when Hot Wheels approached him for the partnership."For Hot Wheels to want to do my chair was the biggest compliment ever," he said.
