A rain poncho for bicyclists works as rain gear for wheelchair users.

Users comments
The rain poncho protects against rain, snow, wind, and cold. It also protects any items wheelchair users may have on their lap, such as a mobile phone. Conny always has it with him whenever he goes out. Conny has not tested operating a power-driven wheelchair with chin control with the poncho on, but he thinks it should work.

There are rain ponchos available specially formed to fit persons sitting in a wheelchair, for example rollimoden.de/en/ (last checked March 2020).
