What Mobility Sports does
Mobility Sports LLC is a US-based, family-owned manufacturer of sled hockey equipment, founded in 2005 and operated by owner Randy Kwapis. The company produces sleds, buckets, high backs, and related adaptive sports gear for para-athletes and is described as the only US manufacturer of sled hockey equipment, serving individual athletes, families, and organized teams and programs across the United States and internationally.
The core technology centers on a 1,600 sq ft manufacturing facility equipped with a Lincoln Electric 4400 plasma table, Lincoln Precision TIG 275 welder, a light-industry CNC machine, precision skate sharpening equipment, and proprietary fixtures, jigs, and molds developed over nearly two decades. These assets support the production of the company's proprietary sled, bucket, and high back designs, and the durability of the products is evidenced by many original sleds still in use today. The accumulated IP — designs, brand/logo, customer and supplier databases, component lists, and documented manufacturing processes — is the principal transferable asset of the business.
Commercially, Mobility Sports sells hardware directly to end users through its own e-commerce website, customer referrals from within the sled hockey community, and on-site sales at sled hockey events and tournaments. The business has shipped approximately 3,400 sleds and generated more than $3.75M in cumulative lifetime sales, with all revenue derived from one-time equipment sales. The owner is currently offering the entire company for sale at $150,000 as a going concern prior to a stated intention to close and liquidate equipment and inventory if no successor buyer emerges.

Mobility Sports competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Convaid (R82 by Etac): Convaid manufactures adaptive mobility and positioning equipment (including for special-needs sports participation) sold to families, schools, and therapy programs. Comparable to Mobility Sports as a small/mid US adaptive-equipment manufacturer serving disability communities through direct and clinical channels.
- Top End Sports (Invacare): Top End is the long-standing US manufacturer of adaptive sports wheelchairs (basketball, racing, rugby), serving many of the same Paralympic-aligned programs and athletes as Mobility Sports. It is a direct functional peer in adaptive sports equipment manufacturing sold into team and individual channels.
- Sunrise Medical (Quickie brand): Sunrise Medical manufactures adaptive and sports wheelchairs under the Quickie brand, supplying adaptive athletes and programs globally. It is a direct functional peer in custom-built adaptive sports equipment sold to individuals, families, and institutional programs.
Broad incumbents
- CCM Hockey: CCM is the second major global ice hockey equipment brand with overlapping distribution into youth, collegiate, and adult hockey programs. It is comparable to Mobility Sports as an ice-hockey equipment supplier, though at vastly greater scale and across able-bodied hockey.
- True Hockey: True Hockey is an established ice hockey equipment maker (sticks, skates, gloves) serving amateur and professional players through team dealers and online. Comparable to Mobility Sports as an ice-hockey equipment incumbent with overlapping customer segments in team and recreational hockey.
- K2 Sports: K2 Sports is a multi-brand winter and outdoor sports equipment manufacturer (skates, skis, snowboards, inline) with established US manufacturing and retail relationships. Comparable to Mobility Sports as a US winter/ice sports equipment manufacturer with adjacent product categories and overlapping dealer networks.
- Bauer Hockey: Bauer is the dominant global ice hockey equipment manufacturer and the incumbent in the broader category Mobility Sports serves. While Bauer focuses on able-bodied hockey, it represents the strategic benchmark and the most likely broad incumbent to enter adaptive hockey if the niche scales.
- Winnwell: Winnwell is a hockey equipment brand and retailer offering sticks, protective, bags, and training gear across ice and roller hockey. Comparable to Mobility Sports in distribution — a hockey-focused brand reaching families, teams, and recreational players through e-commerce and team dealers.
- Warrior Hockey: Warrior is a major ice hockey equipment brand (now under New Balance) selling sticks, protective, and gear into the same youth-to-pro team channels that Mobility Sports serves. Comparable as an ice-hockey equipment incumbent reaching the same buyer base (teams, programs, families).
Others
- Pure Hockey: Pure Hockey is the largest US specialty hockey retailer operating stores and a major e-commerce site. It is comparable as a downstream distribution channel for sled hockey equipment, representing a potential B2B sales partner rather than a manufacturer competitor.
