About Us

The MI KidzWheelz Team

 

Meet our crazy family and the minds behind KidzWheelz. Yes, all five of us have contributed to the research and development of KidzWheelz in some way or another.

 

Casey developed the concept of KidzWheelz after recognizing the shortfalls of plastic stock wheels on even the mildest of terrains.  Casey turned to 3D printing to develop a solution to fit real, rubber tires onto kids' electric vehicles. When he isn't in Fusion designing the next KidzWheelz invention, Casey is a Sr. Automation Engineer for an automotive company. 

Lachlan is a Key Product Tester and Marketing Specialist. You can see him featured in some of the videos. When he's not starring in the video, he's often filming it behind the camera!  His preferred vehicle is the Ford Raptor with the 15" Wheelz set.  When Lachlan isn't cruising the trails in his ride, he enjoys going to kindergarten, baseball, and jiu jitsu. 

Ace played a crucial role on our Safety Team and was Head Good Boy.  He sadly crossed the Rainbow Bridge in 2021.

Rosalyn and Apollo work on the sales and customer service side of KidzWheelz and are the creative directors behind KidzWheelz social media. Apollo joined the team in September 2021.  Although he is still in training, he has recently mastered sitting up on his own. 

 

Olive is the true inspiration behind KidzWheelz and our main Prototype Tester. Olive was born with a genetic abnormality, resulting in several global delays including walking. Over the years, Casey and Rosalyn have worked to provide Olive with not only functional tools to help her mobilize, but ways in which she can independently explore the outdoors and HAVE FUN with her brothers and friends. Unfortunately, electric vehicles have limited capability to run on anything other than flat, paved surfaces. KidzWheelz was created to help provide Olive, and all other kids, whether they can walk or not, the ability to take their vehicles beyond the sidewalk and embrace the PLAY. Olive uses many modes of transportation in liu of walking, but her favorite is the Best Choice Jeep with the 13" Wheelz set.
