It’s a scam market just like hearing aids.

Wihthout a current universal lockdown system for wheelchairs and such vehicles, seems rather pointless.

Crazy that some bent metal tubing, a back rest, and thin fabric seat would ever cost more than 1000...

$1k is pretty cheap for a bike these days as well, so good on this company to try to bring mobility on a budget

getting flex on for being broke by a man without working legs

1000$ dollar is considered cheap is insanity. Here cheap wheelchairs are 70$

The first time I heard about this company was through the youtuber "wheelsnoheels" immediately after she mentioned this wheelchair that's priced at a thousand dollars I went to go research it myself. I'm still looking at other wheelchairs but all the other ones are over a thousand dollars up to two thousand dollars, yet this one is a bit cheaper. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. But I hopefully am trying to purchase and have a wheelchair in a year, but I will just have to see.

Sounds like u need a 1000£ mic, not a wheelchair

Jesus, my heart skipped a beat when you went over the step to that porch. Obviously you’ve done that maneuver thousands of times.

Can you get an adjustable upholstery back on it.

made me tear up a little for some reason

Looking at parts prices for maintaining a relative's wheelchair, this company is doing amazing work

Kudos for going up the hill, setting up the camera, then going down again, going up again, talking to the camera, and going down again (and, I imagine, going up again to stop the recording and getting the camera back)!

i dont know much about wheelchairs, but as soon as you said "including all the necessary components" i could tell what a huge deal this is. Awesome to see youtubers making change in the world like this

I just hope this means more people can get a reliable wheelchair. ill admit my knowledge on the subject is close to none but this does sound promising. I do hope this chair would also be accessible with insurance. though ill take you at your word when you say 1000 is cheap for a wheelchair, it still is a huge amount of money. especially for the intended target demographic i assume. glad someone is taking the steps to increase access to sturdy quality wheelchairs but I hope many more improvements will be made in the whole system that made this an unfulfilled need in the first place. I am fortunate enough that in my current position in live i don't need a wheelchair. I say current because who knows what may happen in the future. but i do need other aids to live my life. and even though I live in the Netherlands, a place with better healthcare then the us, it still is something i have to set money aside for just to be able to live my life "normally". As a society we are really failing to meet the requirements of those that fall outside the norm. I feel this isn't discussed enough.

Maybe after 5 years they can add a unit for hills - either assist (not sure that is good for weight) or maybe reduction unit to multiply torque.

As someone with no insurance coverage, this will definitely be my next chair. Thanks for the video and thanks to Zack for creating this!

What the fuck? A wheel chair is like £150 here in the UK. America is truly fucked damn

Why wheelchairs are so expensive in the USA ? here in mexico we have some starting at a 100 dollars.

They gotta be certified , with serial numbers, documentation or something ( for LEGAL reasons )that is only explanation why are they in general so expensive .

FFS its a chair, from metal tubes on 2 big wheels and 2 small ones and some padding and like 4 bearings. American healthcare system is broken and itself is in need of wheelchair , ooops cant afford it. I guess kudos to Jerry for making them available to more people

God bless you Zach and great work. Love your TH-cam channel.

Just to let you guys know...wheelchairs cost about ₹6000-₹20000($80-$250) in India. I'm not sure why they cost so much in USA.

What's the best wheel chair if this is a entry level one?

Considering my TiLite TR came in around $7000 after options and taxes, $900 is a steal. Would make a good alternate chair for travelling (we've all seen how airlines treat them).

Wheelchairs should come with HANDLES for those users who are unable to propel themselves, like the elderly

Hi, it looks easy , but with severe spasms are dificult. Thanks for sharing !👍🏻🙋🏻‍♂♿❤

Refreshing to see a business providing a vital product with good quality and reasonable pricing. We need more ethical businesses.

What are you talking about, I just checked amazon and wheelchairs go for 150-500$

I just bought a wheel chair for 100 bucks on Amazon how is this cheap at all?

$1k for a few metal tubes and some wheels? What on Earth is going on in America? A Meyra/Otto Bock motorized wheelchair costs $900 here in Europe. And this has nothing to do with insurance or healthcare. You just staright up buy it from the store. A normal, non-motorized one is $80-120. The sports ones are $400. Kudos to Zack for doing a great service to the people that need this, but the prices in America are insane.

1000$ doesn't sound cheap for a wheelchair. Forget the human element for a second. From experience i know a set of wheels and tyres can be had for 100 ish so no point in optimizing that i can't see being able to lower that, the rest of the chair is just bent tubes welded, hell it's functional piece of equipment i would probably use square tubing to make it cheaper and easier to weld. The ones it saw are not even customized to the user they just come in S, M and L sized. This has to be a regulation thing, being something related to healthcare probably it's not like a random dude can build weelchairs. There are scooters for 1000, no way big manufacturer can't make a weelchair cheaper

For people not really using wheel chairs and simply googling for a price feeling. You should look for active / adaptive wheelchairs to get a real sense of their pricing. I was suprised and found that in germany the "real deal" will cost 2500-3000+ Euro (the health insurance is usually paying for it though as far as i understood). Was a nice video and i hope that the initiative works out for the people in need of a good wheelchair

Excellent video but the audio gave me some difficulties at times.

How is a wheelchair so expensive? I don't understand it how a bent piece of pipe with wheels is more expensive than a 100cc motorcycle

Laughs in european (1000 bucks for a wheelchair is not cheap... Like... at all...)

USA is so fucked up for such prices. I'm so happy I'm not living there.

Can someone explain to me what custom means in this context? Given there’s talk of adjusting it i assume it can’t mean that it’s made to the measure of the user. I have had to buy a few wheelchairs now, though none for long term daily use, and the most expensive models here were around €500 without insurance coverage and in direct supply. Is this just what American life is like or is a custom wheelchair something entirely different?

This looks nice. I wish we could get something like this that is super light weight for a lady to lift for her husband.

Nice to see other quads getting out there and having some 4 wheeler fun!

Very neat. Given the price of bicycles and the amount of material they use, it seems possible to make a wheelchair for $500 and still be sustainable, yeah? Glad to see fhe needle is moving in the right direction

$1000 for a decent manual wheelchair is pretty Awesome.. I mean I have 2 chairs, one by Invacare and one by TiLite each chair was $6k+!

Thanks for the video! It was very interesting.

🤘🤘

I've flown a dozen or more times. Yes, it sucks if your chair gets broken....but even worse is when it didn't make it onto the 2nd plane after a quick layover!!

How much does this chair weigh??

As someone not in a wheelchair it's very interesting and informative hearing the personal likes & dislikes of Zack & Cambry's product from someone who is the target demographic. Great video!

How is 999 cheap? I always see them left outside at hospitals without any supervision lol....

That's awesome! I never felt like I had enough dexterity or strength to press them together. I should try. I've been playing with Ravensburger GraviTrax. The pieces are a little bigger. Same type of creativity.

Nice review, and from a Quad too!
