🏎 Vroom vroom... Hot Wheels is expanding its range of remote-control toys to include its first-ever wheelchair, modeled after five-time Wheelchair Motocross World Champion and Paralympic athlete Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham. 

  • Born with spina bifida, Aaron was only eight years old when he started tricking in his chair, practicing at the local skatepark until eventually joining the Paralympics. 

💬 What he's saying: "Growing up, I didn't have anything like this," Aaron shared with CNN. "[The toy] really gives you that freedom of imagination."
