Wheelchairs are very restricting. You can't move your legs, and can't really use stairs. But some people do notice that wheelchairs have, well, wheels. Those wheels can be used for doing tricks like a skateboard. When someone puts the two together, they realize that a wheelchair can actually be entertaining! It can cause people to be impressed, to the point that they might even try it, even though they might not be disabled. Some other people might get mad for the ruckus you make. All this gets exaggerated in fiction.

The Infinity League: After Miranda ended up in a wheelchair, she got into one of these, though not because she wanted to, but because the DOCTOR, Aria, wanted to. Aria's little sister, Holly, was not amused, mainly because she was getting chased by her older sister while Aria was wheeling Miranda.

An episode of King of the Hill played this one seriously (and positively). A Doctor Jerk convinces Bill that he was going to develop diabetes and prescribed him a wheelchair. At first he's depressed, but then he meets a paraplegic man who plays wheelchair basketball, and his friendship helps lift Bill's spirits. It eventually turns out that the exercise Bill got playing basketball improved his health and helped stave off the diabetes, and he goes back and kicks the doctor's ass.

Played with, somehow, in the Floor Show part of The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Dr. Scott is de-Medusa'd to find that he can move his legs, but whilst wearing fishnet stockings. He then joins the ongoing chorus line, but instead of getting out of the wheelchair, he just flails his legs around helplessly.

Cleo from MythQuest uses a wheelchair because of an accident when she was young. She is shown to have some basic tricks up her sleeve, like spins and a short wheelie. When she's depressed about not being able to go on a ski trip, her brother shows her a video of an adaptive skier he met.

Baron Edward Morgan from Naked Came the Stranger broke his back in a polo accident at age 71. Now, at age 104, he enjoys racing his wheelchair around the office at top speed. He refuses any help getting into his custom-built car, preferring to ramp his wheelchair into the back.

Joe from Once a Thief seemingly gets crippled after barely surviving a boat explosion, leading to him being wheelchair bound for the latter half of the film. But since this is an action film, he gets to kick all kinds of ass and engage in shootouts while speeding along his wheelchair.
