Thanks, I was wondering about this chair. Of course all the seller information is positive, good to see real life demonstration.
Would like to see you do a review on the falcon wheel chair.
This was hilarious when you ash seri to convert the miles , my iPad stoped and answered, paused the video for 1 1/2 minutes, I fight with putting big MK Batteries in my Q6, any suggestions, so much easier on my 600es, but I picked up an AIRHAWK foldable I love, now I can go places in friends cars. Same problem with rigid frame and hard tires…..and the foot rest had to be reversed…..check out videos on that. Thanks for all you do, I learn something new every video! MIKE
I've been thinking about getting me one of those foldable chairs, then I will upgrade the type of tires that is on it. Thanks for this video about these foldable wheelchair.
When you said "Drive it on " iwas waiting 4 some fancy aluminum ramps lol 1💯👊👍✌️🦅🦼🇺🇸
This is a great video! I sure wish you could review my air hawk wheelchair this way. I learned a lot from ur videos
I am pleasantly surprised by this! I always assumed these were total crap. Cool Beans I was wrong! Oh! BTW, those are some mighty Jedi skills with that grabber bar!
Thanks for review.
Thanks for the review 2 thumbs up
Awesome review. I just wish I could get mine to work. How do you know when it is fully charged and the joy stick is ready to go. My hubby really needs this to work. Thanks
at least no accidents! that kinda use everyday in and around house.i have a neutron lx51 folding,100lbs with 2-35ah batteries.has 650watt motors its a work horse,only style of e chair with footprint that work in my house.no back and i dont need footrests. good style chairs to have in arsenal
Hi, could you tel me the casette lift make/model ? it's very clever how it's made. I would need one as I became disabled after an accident.
Thanks for testing these chars . I wanted the Eagle by quick N Easy I received my uncle's power chair and I have finely been able to ride on the broken curves and I'm safely out of the street. Take care.
ty for sharing buddy
looks like a pretty good chair few upgrades and it be banging
Any ideas on how to and what kind?
The ghost let himself out 🤣 thank you so much I really appreciate the video I wish I had a friend that had a van, and drove himself and would be able to come get me whenever I got stuck... and I really would have liked to see how you guys transferred in and out of the chair I mean I've been doing it for a long time but you guys seem to have it pretty together I'm sure I could learn a few things and I really want one of those Segway things I've never seen that so I'm going to watch the other video... And for the next video could you explain the numbers and the different kind of motors and stuff and thank you again... Lisa
Great comments, smiling all the way…
OMG I literally just opened up CZcams I was trying to find a wheelchair like the one I was just now literally getting ready to purchase for a little over a grand, that's a lot of money to me, and I sent an email to the person about the armrest, I needed to know if the armrest lifts all the way up so that I can transfer into wheelchair without my butt hitting anyting and I never got a response, I did get a response from another chair being sold by the same people same question, they said that the chair does not move when the power is off and it's very sturdy, so I'm looking forward to this video thank you guys so so much hey... Lisa
The motors on those surprisingly look just like the motor is on the jazzy elite as far as the case goes
Thank you for info
I picked up a MagShock from fold-N-Go, made in TX. Great chair. Love it, took 4 days to get here.
I still need to give my MagShock the distance trial check, also I haven't even connected it to the charger. It has a 16 mile range. Also I live in a small town, so I should be able to get anywhere and back. It's in the 90's outside though, so will wait a few months for cooler weather. My homecare brought it and I to go shopping and stuff, and rode it around Walmart.
nice! hopefully it works well for ya!
I had the purple Magshock and really liked it. However the Eagle by Discover My Mobility suited my needs a little better. That chair I put through the wringer and it did great. I sold it to someone who really needed it.
I like that chair. I think I would benefit with that kind because I probably won’t be out a lot except Doctor appointments and a couple outings with my grandkids
And it probably would last me because I weight 85 pounds so it probably will last me awhile.
I was curious about those chairs as I am looking to get one but the cost has gone up dramatically. I would love to know how the newer ones (2022 or so) function.
I seen this chair on aliexpress the other day and thought it's probably not good if its that cheap but when you factor in shipping costs it's probably too expensive
Just wondering again, what tires would be better?
I don't know if you have them in the states. Here in the UK invacare make a folding powerchair called the invacare esprit. I have one for my travel chair as I don't have a WAV to be able to take my quantum. They're fantastic little chairs.
I've seen these advertised and have friends interested in the so was foot so see one being tested out
I got one of those fold and go wheelchairs. It’s a lot like that chair but a little heavier it holds up to 400 lbs. I rode it out side and it goes pretty good in the grass and gravel. It gets up to 16 miles for a charge. So far I’m pretty happy with it.
My chair came with 2 batteries and it’s made in the USA. It cost me almost 3 thousand. But it’s worth it when you need to get around. When I told my husband it’s more of a need then a want.
The wheels are small, they cause problems, they get stuck in small potholes and they do not move on grass in the garden. If they are a little big, the wheels are a problem.
It would be great..
What is the overall cost of purchasing one of these
Help my chair won’t start. Has never worked. Purchased Christmas 2021. No directions in the box.
What is the dimensions of the seat please in inches and how high is it from the floor to the seat in inches please.
Medicare pays for the chairs, but only pay for the best quality ones. Also I bought a set of ramps for cheap in portland 15 years ago from a place that sold used chairs and so forth but no junk, but cant remember their name but you might look around and find ther, they were accross the river. For people that have a hard time getting over the bumps on driveways and so forth, I go over them backwards so i dont crash and bang or get stuck. Also where you find the little curb a bit to high call the city and they will smoth them down for ya. Happy trails people !!
Allan, yes, Medicare pays for so-so chairs, but they are not practical. I cannot afford a transport van. So, when I need to go somewhere I cannot put that good quality beast into my trunk & go. My alternative is spend what I don't have into purchasing a folder type chair. I see Medicare will not pay for another type of chair, WHAT A MONOPOLY!
I have the eagle hd that looks kinda like that one but that one is a knock off to mine but mine has the lithium batterys that slide into the main frame and u can run on one or both battery's I tested mine and I got 62.6 miles of range which is awesome mine is also fda approved for planes and what not and mine came with a ton of extras like light ,chair umbrella, oxygen tank holder ,chair cover and few other things mine will hold up to 400lbs it has 500 watt brushless motors also has foam filled rubber tires and they sell a programmer for that chair also which I was able to turn everything up like top speed and turning speed it will do 6.8 mph now and I got chair from company in FL which they are great to deal with and will answer any questions I have it was more money then the cheap china ones it was $2800 shipped to Ohio but never ever had any problems with it and I owned it for 4 years now and I have a buddy that got one of that cheap one like your friend and it is always breaking down and where he got it from won't help him at all so he is going to buy one like mine now plus mine only weighs 48 lbs with battery's in it u can slide battery's right out and they only weigh 6 lbs Total for both but love ur videos and new subscriber so keep it up
your friend is pretty quiet
Its cool
The big question for me is your sitting on a small cushion on 2 bars going from a air filled or gel filled cushion how comfortable is it you went 2.5 miles on bumps I can see if you use it to go to the store or some were in doors like airports to help get from point a to b but using it for every day chair not so much like me my chair is hard to transport I don’t have a van yet so something like that at the store or out to dinner would work but around my house my q6 edge 2.0 I prefer I like it for the grocery store too ilevel and pushing a shopping cart is pretty easy but yes it is not bad for connivance but they would have to come way down on price I was looking at some of them just for getting out but price vs need could not do it
he was saying the seat isn't very comfortable with those bars - he put a different cushion on it - helped a little bit.. BUT kind-of a strange design.. NO suspension at all - and all the tires are HARD plastic - a few little mods and it could be much better.. but theres so many of these things out there! hard to pick one!
What is the cost
Looking on Amazon seems like you could buy an equivalent chair for less than $1K. Would like to see a comparison with an Air Hawk or another "name brand" chair and a sub $1K off of Amazon with free shipping.
Where’s the tip wheels at the bottom of the chair? No way can this be safe for steep terrain
what type of wheelchair lift you have in your van? Also do you know of any adaptations that can make turning the steering wheel of the van easier for a person with weak shoulders. Thank you for your informative videos.
its possible on some vehicles to retrofit a high power steering pump.. but usually the old full size dodge vans have REALLY good power steering.. but i know when they're doing driving evaluations, if people have troubles turning the wheel, they opt for more expensive drive-by-wire systems that are semi-automated..
@@TotallyNormal- Thank you so much.
Those are the kind of wheelchairs looking into. The folding ones. How do you like them? I don’t want a Hugh heavy one. Something what is easy getting in and out of a vehicle. I don’t go many places most to Doctor appointments and I don’t weigh much at all. I do want one that can hold about 300 pounds because my husband would set in it and he’s over 200 pounds. But I’m less then 100
this particular one had a metal bar running right under the seat - made it pretty uncomfortable - but there's a lot of versions of these things out there/ just be aware most of them are SLOW..
I wanted one of them but wasn’t to sure about their reliability when they advertise them they only show like a 20 second clip but do you think that would be reliable to go shopping zooming through the mall?
there are a LOT of them out there these days, and more have made their way into the US.. the one in this video was a random no-name one that had been imported
Oh man I was dying to see those GB motors. I wonder why they weren't on that chair. I saw those youtube adds claiming they were GB motors. There are a ton of them.
yea theres a TON of different versions of this chair...
@@TotallyNormal- I would complain. I love GB motors.
I need it
Decent looking power chair. I just don't like how far back the rear drive wheels are. Seems to offset too much weight to the front casters. Could get a bit sketchy if the operator wasn't paying attention haha
agreed.. the spacing is a bit strange haha
They really need to make one that folds up into its own suitcase, is auto unfold..and some other tricks and treats. I have been thinking abou these for awhile. Good for people that can manage it but I think its too uruley, cumbersome, and heavy for me to lug around. I too am very curious of how many 82650's they stuffed in there. I honestly think there is a market for a more compact version that serves as a rescue chair mounted on the back of an exisiting chair.
there will be a de-lidding of that battery sometime soon!!
i like that rescue chair idea!!!
Hi all, can you please tell me the name of this model or the company you purchased from, I'm in the UK and have really found this video a massive help in buying my 1st powerchair so Thanks
Lith-Tech is A UK company that sells these kind of chairs.
Anybody know where a good place in Portland to buy wheelchair batteries group 24
you lookin for MK power? or just whatever?
@@TotallyNormal- Always get MK! Friends don't let friends use any others! Just Sayin...
Hey man, love your vids.
I have the YATTLL YE246 Pro Power Chair. It's great for getting in the back of my little car. The Lithium pack has 28x 18650 Samsung batteries, mine does have brush-less motors, it does about 11 miles on a full battery, it weighs 23kg and supports 294 pounds user weight and cost me £1260.00 in the UK.
What is wrong with the situation chair or what features does it not have to make it viable
he ended up taking on a trip to the DR - and it did "ok" its really slow, cant climb hills, and not much range. oh - and he said comfort was an issue.. theres a metal bar running right under the middle of the seat. then finally the airlines destroyed it on the way back lol.. for certain situations, im sure its a fine chair.. but not something designed for daily use...
here's his review on it :^)
czcams.com/video/glb-OitzXCg/video.html
the one I have called Electra7 hd ....sold by discover my mobility and I can say it is great !!!!
What things do you like about the Electra 7? I have been considering that one.
Electra 7 looks really good but it is so expensive
WRONG my Hoveround will go over rugs, curves,through grass . It does slide on wet grass. I scrape & painted my 2 & half car garage. No problem. It did slide if I tryed to do it after power washing & not waiting for it to dry. If I got up to building where water stood a little & it was muddy from not wait for it to dry some it would slide & few times got hung up. I blew my leaves,weed eated, garden, did flowers, washed windows,
I on good days went to town in it.It would go up curves,over broke sidewalk, or streets, curves 3-5in have to go at a angle once in awhile if the stret below is not real even the foot piece or bottom of chair might rub or get hung up..
It will go about 15 miles when totally charged. Does 5 miles a hr. Has 2 batteries.
The only thing their seats are not as good now . They use to have thicker seating,much more comfortable & I seat in it every day for 5 yrs & didnt even shown where set but the new thinner aeat started showing in 3 or 4 wks. They also went to a high back which for me who is short was very uncomfortable, & a friend who tall the short back us uncomfortable but they only have the high back .Didn't keep both. But the seats are as big & padded as these u show probably more. The arms do lift so u can slide in ,also can get seats that swivel around for easier getting in or closeer to table,exercise stuff etc. Also can get with lift so can raise seat to reach things better.
It goes over rugs no problem unless they are the littler v threw rugs ,they will roll up etc but if have tact down or tape so holds down can go over them too.
Snow ,they slide but if i put shovel in front of chair & push the snow to side. I CAN CLEAN WALKS & do a little in snow ( they need a blade to put in front..lol) I've had my chair almost 10 yrs. which is over the 5 yrs they recommend. But my chair the still going strong. The controller plastic push buttons are wearing down since they have had no service for 5 yrs since coverage for that all runs out after 5 yrs.
My neighbor had her 1st one almost 15 yrs & still running & her 2 nd for almost yrs all stil running & good shape. But they are cheaper made now, parts come from over seas put together in USA, use to be made here. Much better when was made herr, now ever thing is more cheap made but still better than what u are showing yes they don't fold, harder to take some where but I don't have to worry about the rugs, curves, & so much more u showed. The batteries that come on it are not as good as was,they won't go as far & have to charge more often .I just get the better batteries like they use to give at walmart or Amazon. They will tell u u can do that. Alsi they don't do the emergency services like use to have if chair breaks down Won't come 24/7 if break down & won't bring a chair to use TILL they can fix it.
They also don't make sure it works for u or u can run it like use to. They use to it's just a chair higher or lower or if it needs to tell a little bit one way or the other so you just sit better but now that you're told thay cant do that.
They have done little to update them ,like being able to use a remote or ur cell phones to run them & many new ones u can be lifted up at hight to talk, even higher to reach stuff or stand, & can put ur seat back & many can stand on foot rest not this.or forward aeats or put back & all that stuff . & many new ones can get wet ,go through water, sand dirt etc but Hoveround has not updated anything but to add colors u can get & made seat smaller, cheaper, less comfortable, cut speed down it will go ,which is need if outside home & other than than it will go & u can count on it not to get caught up on the flooring like a little rug b4 we get out the door hope that helps anybody that's looking at chairs.
the chair in the video definitely isnt a hoverround! lol
You make it sound like he got a bad deal?
I believe there are wheelchairs that can do 0-60 in under 8 seconds in China.
Rate your content I have few questions about something I’m struggling with any way of contacting you please
5:39 under tv thank me later.
hey bud, since you know better than I do, do you know if Magic Mobility V6 have to be 73Amp/hr batteries? Or, just a sales scam to buy their batteries?
I think that Chinese portable electric wheelchair is made for indoor. what you think?
yes - defiantly built for indoor use!
on the frontier - the bigger the batteries the better! also smaller ones may not fit as well, and ya dont want them banging around inside the chair..
@@TotallyNormal- Thanks Dan, I talk to so call expert on Magic Mobility v6, she said all V6 is modified to have 73amps/hr batteries only, and she can't justify. so, I guessing it's the scam in their part. I was thinking about group 24 85Amp/hr., what you think?
I kinda curious, what kind of battery do chinese made fold chair used? specially when it uses big motors...
Thank you je veux Kamel handicapé algérien pardon non English je suis Arabie thank you👍👍👍

It seems to me that this pustular chair in JUNK! No traction. No torque. Seat is uncomfortable with bars under it. And there are other disadvantages I can see.

Can I have it for free

Hello, you are really a CZcams star))) I hope you will not lose modesty from my comment))) I live in a country where the majority is always waiting for instructions from the government and when a brain tumor appears in the government, the country slowly dies and, perhaps, stupidly kills the whole world .)))
But you are a country with many years of democracy. How did you let everyone still drive brushed motors? This despite the fact that in your country they came up with a Tesla car?
And then I see that a chair with brushed motors was brought to you from China? This is even in China the last century.)))) Or is it some kind of international conspiracy to hide the abundance of brushless motors around the world for a small price. This should be investigated))) Try to find out with a friend how American collector motors got to China?)
I learned a lot about the daily life of people in wheelchairs. And without this information, it is impossible for them to implement transport ideas. I'll finish watching the content on your channel for another two years.)
In general, I would like to note that in order to be attractive, it is enough to be yourself. I hope the manufacturers of wheelchairs will not buy you quickly.)) Happy New Year, all the best to you.)))
2.3 mi isn't a very good test on a 20mi chair need like 18 more laps man 💯👊👍✌️🦅🦼🇺🇸
