In a word, no. Even catalogue suppliers like Grainger are going to charge you 10-15 bucks for a brush. I am more concerned with why it is breaking. The brush is supposed to glide smoothly across the commutator. I have serviced thousands of powerchair motors, and have never had a broken brush before; usually they are too short from lotsa' use, or are fried from overheating. Is the brush actually breaking or is the pigtail (the springy coil hooked to the brush) breaking? If it's the pigtail, the motor is pulling too many amps and the pigtail is heating up causing it to become brittle and break. Motor overheating is usually due to driving the chair on unstable surfaces like mud, sand gravel, etc. If it's the brush breaking, you should pull the motor apart to inspect the commutator; it may need to be resurfaced, which can be done at a motor shop or alternator repair shop.
