Mogo Wheelchairs is an Australian company that makes sporting wheelchairs. It was founded by Michael Callahan, who played wheelchair basketball for Australia at the 1984 and 1992 Paralympics. He started building his own chairs in the early 1980s because he couldn’t find suitable ones for high-level play. By 2000, the company was making about 600–700 chairs a year at around AUD 2,000 each, and nearly all of Australia’s wheelchair basketball team used them. Mogo pioneered the fifth wheel, a design now standard in wheelchair basketball. In the United States, Matt Glowacki—a double amputee, Paralympian, and public speaker—advocates for the brand.
