Tom Kilmore's powerchairs

[Maria Chiara]

Hello,
I have bought a power chair from Tom Kilmore in 2017 and I would like to have access to spare parts, but his business doesn't seem to exist anymore. His website and email are not active.
Do any of you happen to know where I can find new tyres, for example? Thanks!

What spare parts do you need?

[Burgerman]

Ebay, small tyre companies, amazon etc. Just read the sizes from the sides.

You will find that your rear ones are 15 x 6.00 - 6. The front are 3.00 x 4.

What spare parts do you need?

I need new tyres now, I might need other parts in the future. I just relied on his business staying open for longer to assist with maintenance etc

The square profile chunky treads are not as good to drive as the narrow contact scooter types.
Searching for CST300b 04 goped tyre gives good results. I like the ones with the flat wear band in the centre as tread is of no use on a wheelchair caster.

Thats whats on my Salsa. And one of my BM2s. They are as good as anything is.

How often are the tyres replaced? I’ve had my Kilmore powerchair 7 years and only replaced once. I go everywhere in it. Wheels seem fine. I’ve got through a fair number of inner tubes though

[Burgerman]

Rear ones last me 2 years and absolutely no tread left at all, the turf tyres with keratek.
The off road rear tyres last me 2 months, down to zero tread remaining, dont last 2 minutes...

Front ones? Down to canvas (then and burst tubes) around 2 to 3 times yearly.


I have no idea what you are doing to make them last SEVEN YEARS?

Front ones dont matter. The chair can get to the pub even when flat...
Rear ones mean you are stranded. So those are changed BEFORE the canvas begins to show...

Fronts.
Buy these in bulk. EBay, decent quality.
They last around 4 months a set.

[Burgerman]

A worn out one, and a bulk set of new ones... Every 4 to 5 months.

Turf tyres as per toms cloned BM2.

[Burgerman]

The OFF ROAD style ones lasted 7 to 8 weeks.
The turf tyres, last almost 2 years.

Does anyone by chance have the contact information of Tom Kilmore please?

I have one of his chairs and I need to contact him but the email and the telephone number I have no longer seem to be working.

Does a public telephone book still exist in the UK?

Thank you for any advice and help.

I don't think Tom is in business anymore.

@rover220 : Yes, the uk data base (https://find-and-update.company-informa ... pointments and https://find-and-update.company-informa ... y/09782338) shows that accounts are overdue and a "strike off" is requested (what does that mean?)

No email, no telephone number, just a postal address.
