    More of this! More of this to show people what it is like to be in a chair. What Ms. Kroon said at the end of the video is what it´s all about! If I would live in the US, I would buy a BraunAbility vehicle. (I live in Germany and have my own compact van since February) Because I get the impression that you now have a better understanding for your product range, that small things make a big difference and that every person (with a disability or without) is unique. Your adaptions seem to be well designed and practical and therefore perfect for the customer to use. You have a great spirit and empathy! Please keep up the excellent work! You are what the world needs. Not more people who CLAIM to know the needs of disabled people but have never properly asked or observed!

    I will agree with everything said in this video. I will also say BraunAbility probably has one of the best open manufacturing floors allowing access for people who use a scooter or wheelchair to get around. I have been on a number of interviews for jobs, and no one has been as accommodating as the BraunAbility Engineering internships, that I participated in during the summers of 2015, and 2016.

    Bravo Braun! Imagine the hassles if you had coordination issues. I did want to hear a least one beep or two. ;) We've bought 4 Entervans since 1999 with very few issues. We trade them in; not because they wear out but because we want the new features you add. I tried most others and I think yours works the smoothest and looks the best. My only suggestion is that factory striker covers are replaced/upgraded for free where the wheelchair user will be sitting. Ours didn't initially old up. It was resolved but not until we complained and were credited.

    I have a quickie QRI and and I just found out my Chevrolet Silverado is in need of too much mechanical work to get fixed but now I'm trying to figure out how I can return to work as an Uber and lyft driver when I don't have enough to cover the down payment and may not have enough to cover my monthly pay monthly payment and do not have a CO signer to get a Van A braunability XT Would give me back my independence but the problem is in Oklahoma it is an uphill battle to even achieve that, right now I'm seen by the state as just being another person and I don't feel that anybody other than my local braunability dealer is understanding the problem at hand They advised me not to buy an older used Van because obecause once parts break they may not be able to be replaced or they may be incredibly expensive they expensive but I cannot afford a brand new Van and have difficulty getting a used Van new conversion financed, What I'm looking for right now right now is any possible resources sources that would help someone that desperately needs the Van because because my local area is not disability friendly, I'm actually home bound currently due to my landlord not wanting to cooperate with making my apartment accessible and also not having Access to an accessible vehicle.The problem is most people in wheelchairs those in wheelchairs those of us that don't already have an accessible Van or don't have a significant amount of money to put towards one we end up being home bound, I don't kcomma I'm currently home bound because the ramps I do have allow me to get down to the parking lot to get to a vehicle but they are too steep and a 2 steep and a lesbian would be too expensive I canit's expensive I can't financially afford it but I'm also unable to work because I can't get in-and-out of my vehicle my truck needs way too much work and even if it was in perfect mechanical condition The truck does not have enough space in the single cab to allow me to you transfer My equipment in-and-out and I don't have the strength and mobility to be able to navigate from theight from the tailgate of my truck to the driver's seathe driver seat even leaning on one side of the truck over the bed with my arm and then using my crutch under my other arm I can't physically do it.. There's very little disability awareness and accessibility and States like Oklahoma Oklahoma and there is little to no enforcement of any federal protections for Disabled individuals, II feel like a second class or even 3rd class citizen I as citizen I am completely erased from society and I can't go out and do a simple trip to the grocery store, my roommate has to be available whenever I need to go somewhere because otherwise I can't get my wheelchair in the truck or in-and-out of his car so he has to be the one to after I get transferred into the vehicle take my chair either to the back of his car and place it in the trunk or go to the back of my truck and strap my chair down in the bed So that it doesn't move or fly out and it's really dehumanizing as a person because I feel like I have no quality of life I life I literally cry every day because I can't go out and do anything I can't go to work I can't be in society because it doesn't want me there.

    In the last scene, the lady is dealing with her garbage can, and her very wide driveway is paved with brick. How much is she being paid, for something so expensive, when she is so ignorant about the realities for the people who need their products? No wonder it's all so expensive!

    the bigger question is do you hire people with disabilities?
