For decades, wheelchairs were designed primarily as medical devices — neutral, functional, invisible. But mobility has changed. And so has the way users see themselves within it. Today, customization, visibility, and self-expression are not extras.They are part of modern mobility culture.
Most wheelchair users look for more than functionality. They want to customize their wheelchair, give it character, and make it an extension of who they are. That’s where design stops being decoration and becomes identity.
Visibility as a design feature
Neon Spoke Guards introduce a new approach to wheelchair accessories. Instead of reflective stickers or electronic lights, they use a fluorescent material that interacts naturally with ambient light.
The result is a soft luminous effect that:
- enhances wheel visibility in dim or evening conditions
- adds depth and richness to color during daylight
- remains passive, lightweight, and maintenance-free
This makes neon spoke guards both practical and visually expressive without compromising simplicity.
Customization beyond standard models
At Bergh Special Products, customization is not limited to preset options. Neon Spoke Guards can be produced in custom shapes and dimensions, tailored to specific wheel designs and brands.
This flexibility allows:
- perfect visual alignment with the wheel
- compatibility across manufacturers
- seamless integration into OEM or dealer configurations
Material transparency matters
Unlike classic polycarbonate spoke guards designed for maximum impact resistance, neon guards prioritize optical performance.
Their material structure is:
- optimized for light interaction
- slightly more delicate than heavy-duty polycarbonate
- engineered for everyday urban use, not extreme impact scenarios
Neon Spoke Guards reflect a broader shift in how mobility products are perceived and designed.
They are developed at the intersection of:
- contemporary mobility design
- functional visibility
- personalization as a standard, not an add-on
Rather than treating the wheelchair as a purely utilitarian device, Neon Spoke Guards support a more holistic approach where equipment becomes an integrated part of personal expression.
This transformation is not aesthetic alone.
It represents a cultural shift toward visibility, agency, and individual choice in mobility solutions.
