Meet Tomek – Omobic ambassador: unstoppable powerhouse in motion.

Tomek is an Omobic Ambassador, Wheelchair Rugby athlete, transport analyst, and accessibility mentor living with tetraplegia. By utilizing specialized Omobic off-road wheels and coated handrims featuring a high-friction Lizard grip coating, he overcomes hand function limitations to smoothly transition between daily urban life, intense sports, and outdoor adventures.

Life at full speed: From rugby court to coastal trails

My daily life is all about balance, action, and passion. By day, I work as an analyst in a transport company. After hours, my world revolves around Wheelchair Rugby, intense training sessions, and weekend adventures with my wife, Agnieszka.
We love cycling along scenic coastal trails or exploring forest paths. Thanks to my athletic spirit, every ride turns into a fun, active workout where I can enjoy full freedom and nature.

Empowering others & building accessibility

For me, activity goes beyond sports-it’s about community.

• Education & awareness: Through the CREO association, I run workshops for schools, banks, and local organizations, teaching respectful interaction and practical accessibility.
• Mentorship: As a volunteer coach at FAR foundation camps, I train newly injured wheelchair users-especially those with tetraplegia. I assist individuals in mastering daily essentials, such as wheelchair balance, exiting a car, and regaining independence.

Why I choose Omobic: Power on rough terrain

“When you live with tetraplegia and limited hand function, having the right equipment isn’t just about speed — it’s about control and independence.  Heading onto forest trails or gravel paths requires absolute confidence. Swapping to Omobic off-road wheels combined with handrims featuring Lizard grip coating gives me the friction, stability, and handling I need. Even with limited grip strength, I get full pushing power without my hands slipping, allowing me to focus entirely on the journey ahead.” – Tomek, Active Wheelchair User & Omobic Ambassador

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Mobility & coated handrims

Q: How do Omobic handrims with lizard grip coating help users with tetraplegia?
A: Users with tetraplegia often have limited hand function and grip strength. The Lizard grip coating provides a high-friction surface that allows the palm or side of the hand to catch the rim effortlessly, turning minimal physical pressure into full forward propulsion without slippage.

Q: Can Omobic off-road wheels and coated handrims be combined?
A: Yes. Omobic components are modular. Combining off-road tires with coated pushrims allows active users to tackle demanding, uneven terrain with complete steering confidence and minimal hand fatigue.
