Wheel Pad
The Tiny House Designed with Universal Accessibility
Screenshots
Hunter's comment
Nowadays the ever more popular tiny houses seem to have become ridiculously expensive, often costing even more than a 10x as big house stand-alone costed to construct 2 decades ago.
Multi-award winning Wheel Pad is an interesting take on the “tiny house” genre, extending the genre to people with mobility issues.
Complete with ramp, the 200 square foot module/tiny house consists of bedroom and bathroom which are universally accessible and even come with hoistway track throughout.
Still clocking in at $60,000 for the base model (solar panels and composting toilet available as add-ons) the Wheel Pad is a low-income solution offering a high degree of independence for people with mobility issues.
Also available as lease, at $3,000/month.

Great Hunt!
Really cool to see a company dedicating to build such cool mini homes for people with mobility issues. Love the design and the fact that they are affordable. Like you worte yourself many opions are just to damn expensive.
Keep on the good work!
Yeah, the cost of tiny houses feel like abusing the hype (and also need for them in big cities).
I’m all for freemarket but given gentrification especially tiny houses cost should be regulated because in cities they can contribute to solving the problem.
Advantages:-
(1) It is a beautiful tiny house along with solar panels and a composite toilet.
(2) Top class interiors.
(3) It can be affordable by those having low income yet dreaming to have a house.
Thank you....steem on that hunt.
The tiny home trend is certainly growing (or shrinking lol) and to see one designed to be both affordable, and accessable for people with mobility issues is awesome. Very nice hunt.
Upvoted for the pun I should have thought of. LOL
Glad you liked it.

It's perfect to live in the place we want. I love these kinds of things, and the interior design is wonderful and very luxurious. AMAZING HUNT :)
This hous is more beautiful and luxury than mine. It is tiny but it is nice inside. It is also cool that it can be used for universal accessibility.
I love tiny houses but just like you, I'm always puzzled about its price. These type of houses should cost lower and affordable for everyone. Maybe because of the material used to built it. Anyway, I love your hunt. Great find.
I think the biggest element in the cost, aside from fashionable profit margin of course - is compliance with health and safety standards, as well as (First world) labor cost. The latter which requires skilled laborers to receive insurance certification.
When selfbuilding, and without needing the trailer frame, I’ve seen kits at around 1/4 of the price. Of course, they have no designed finish yet and tend to be minimum option for everything. What I like most about this one is that they offer leasing at similar price to living in a care home (since food not included in wheel pad lease).
That's great. I want to live in a mountain or a river. It looks easy to move on wheels. I really like the design ans I'd like to live in the house. Thank you for sharing.
Problem with this type of trailers, that’s what they basically are small trailers, is that they require a top of the range SUV/Jeep to pull them. So that needs to be added to the price when wanting true nomadic lifestyle. Leasing a tractor soon becomes expensive too.
I like it, since its price is accessible and can be taken from the camp and thus save a little money in the rent of a big game remorque until next time
I feel myself happier when I see a hunt for disabled people. This tiny House "Wheel Pad" is great for living not only for the disableds, I would like to stay in it near a lake.
I like this tiny house. It is simple and beautiful design. It has solar panel and bio toilet. it's really cool.
Cool hunt. These tiny houses look so cozy and comfy. The downside is that they are so expensive. Still a cool hunt.
I’m guessing 20-25% of the actual cost goes in to be compliant with health and safety regulations. And, of course, labor in first world is expensive because only trained and certified laborers are allowed for insurance purposes.
But yeah, they’re prohibitively expensive... for a very large room basically.
Wow. I love this. Very practical for those having a vacation somewhere. It's quite expensive though.
Waaao! This is a vice Very Awesome and beautiful Hunt. @fknmayhem you really deserve some accolades for bringing this Hunt.
I have never seen a mobile house like this before.
Wheel Pad is a nice design house which is built on wheel and $60,000
happy hunting💖
This is very Perfect beautiful Wheel Pad Tiny house. Now you can move wherever your heart desires with this Tiny house. It provides a respectful and supportive space for your family and friends.
Super cool Hunt!
Loving this kind of tiny house, as for me i would treat it as a holiday house. just bring it to the mountains and we can stay with families and friend. Great hunt indeed.
This is indeed needed for those with mobility issue but wondering how it will look like if someone that is tall stand in it lol. Really feel like testing this.
Doorframe looks default size for me. So unless you’re 7’ or more, should be fine. :D
Wow this tiny house will be a good gate away home to shied my self away for some fun time
Awesome hunt
Vow awesome. I think it can offer one additional advantage that is it won't be damaged during earthquakes because with the movement of the earth it will move , not maintaining its inertia of rest .
@fknmayhem Every time I like these types of houses more, their benefits are incredible. While its popularity increases its value, it is still a good investment, many things in its favor, being able to move whenever you want and where you want, small environments have their advantages, their self-sufficient facilities are also a cost savings, it is a investment to see its results in the medium term
thank you very much for teaching us this beauty
I wish you an excellent day
Really love this tiny homes, I feel like live in one of these has to feel very good, because all offer a minimalist and elegant habit in addition that almost all are self-sustainable
If anyone need temporary living Wheel Pad is the best solution. This is connected to a public room, such as a living or dining room.That's superb
This is really interesting and amazing innovation. Tiny house is an independent living place that easily move everywhere you want to live. Thanks for sharing this great idea.
Hello @fknmayhem
I do personally feel that this is superb idea for the camping or outgoing souls to take Wheel Pad with them and enjoy their time with a perfect home. Seems quit comfortable and very much affordable as compared to other houses.
Fantastic hunt :)
sweet I would totally live in that
Impressive Hunt @fknmayhem
This tiny house Wheel Pad is supercool. This is just great in the sense that people with disabilities issues can live independently and with freedom. It will let them to live comfortably and peacefully too. The interior design of bed, bathroom, desk and windows seems to be extremely impressive. Also the folding desk and bed is the another attraction for this tiny house.
