Hi friends! Here's a video all in detail about my smart drive, I hope you guys like it. Please like & subscribe & I will see you all next time!! Website: www.max-mobilit...
I received my smart drive a few days ago. And what a difference moving around. I can move slow, or fast, and very helpful to help not having to push my chair everywhere. I have been wheelchair bound for many years. I am happy to have my smart drive!!!!
I love your channel, I just got my MX2 upgraded to the MX2+ like yours & I am loving it. The MX2 only required one tap to stop, however now i jave all of tje versions available through the new wristband.
I love using my smart drive. I have the same one as you, and it makes moving around much easier!!.. Like she says, keep the push tracker charged every day. It will not last as long as the smart drive. what i do , is like when i am at an Art show, i turn off my push tracker when looking at things, then when I want to move fast, i turn it on again.
Yay! I'm so excited for you! I'm currently saving up for power assist at the moment and thinking that a SmartDrive will be my best option. Seeing your footage is so helpful, thank you for sharing it with us. I'm excited to see more of your adventures with your SmartDrive. Xx
I did the same. It IS your best option because it can move seamlessly from one chair to another, so if your in a loaner chair while one is being repaired, your still good. I like the flexibility in that regard, and it is only 12 lbs.
I've been in a wheelchair after 3 Major strokes and a plane crash that pretty much destroyed my left shoulder. I use a manual chair in order to stay in fit and awaiting Total Shoulder Replacement finally after 30 yrs!!! I love being in shape and for 73 yrs old and fighting my 5 bout of Cancer (Stage 4 Liver Cancer presently) I'm tickled to be alive and able to get around as well as I do... Maybe when I get my Smartdrive for my Ti Quickie I will do a video to show how it works for me!!
Wow!♡♧♤☆ looks GREAT 👍 👌 hope everything goes ❤ well you through the future 👍 😀 and REALLY HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL FOR MY SON, THEY JUST RECOMMENDED ONE OF THESE FOR HIM, WE'RE JUST WAITING 🙏 ✝️🤞 . Love your 📹 videos and we saw lot's of others TOO!
This is a great vid, thank you! How does the Smart Drive handle rough ground? I'm guessing it's in its element when used on pavements and on hard surfaces but maybe not for off-roading?!! ha ha! Interesting though - I like the idea of it, especially as it is an easy add-on, isn't too heavy and doesn't require adding cross bars and extra weight like some of the hand bike add-ons do. In the UK these types of things are not covered so we have to self-fund, if possible. Food for thought! xx
Nicol, I'm Amazed at your ability to share your likes and dislikes of the Smartdrive... I take it the girl on the skateboard hitching a ride is most likely a sister or BFF.. Anyway, Thanks for sharing your video!! BTW You are a Cutie !!
I'm hoping to get funding for the smart drive from NDIS. Just had a demo today and it took a bit of getting used to. It's heavier than I thought but the other option was to have smart drive in the wheels which was heavier. I get a sore back and shoulders so this will help
I just received mine through NDIS - I've only been using it the last few days, and it already is a gamechanger in my life! I'm still getting used to it (and yes, the weight of the unit is something to get used to as well...but its already starting to feel less 'weighty' the more I lift it/get used to it) - but I'm sure over time it will be second nature (just like when I went from crutches to chair...now using my chair is done without having to even think about it). I live on a hilly street (not tooo steep, but a huge effort if I want to go to the local park). Today, I went from home not just to my local park, but other areas around my neighbourhood, with minimal effort - amazing feeling! I lost function of my left arm two years ago (surgery brought it 'back' last year but it was a huge wakeup call!), and I can already see how this will preserve my limbs for much longer, in my life.
it will save your shoulders and rotator cuffs in the future. After years of pushing, my friend finally had to have surgery on his shoulders. From that standpoint, the sooner you can get it, to take the stress off your shoulders and wrist joints, the better
Good video and I have one on the way soon. I also make TH-cam videos and I understand what you’re going through. Good luck and stay strong 💪🏽god bless you 🙏🏽
Your friend at the end testing it in the house....a couple nights ago that was me in mine, testing my new SmartDrive - straight into the dining table...then into the laundry door haha - and my OT ended up crashing onto my couch oops.. But as my supplier said - if you don't stack it at least once in your first month, you're doing it wrong lol
You are sooooooo freaking rad! I loved when you took a drink of your soda, it really mad me laugh. I would love to have you as a friend you seem really fun.
Thank you for you vid on the unit. I have one of the earlier versions of the SmartDrive wheel. Based on the number of enhancements to the operability (the way that it is activated) I think I have version 2 maybe. I think you are demonstrating version number 4 or 5 based on what I see. 1) I have to activate the switch that is mounted on the chair somewhere to "ON", 2) then give the wheels one push to get it to kick in and take over the pushing, 3) then push again harder if I want to go faster, 3a) but if I go down a hill the wheelchair will pick up speed unless I grab the wheels and resist the speed, 4) then when I want to have it stop pushing - I have to grab and stop the wheels (which takes some strength) or turn off the switch.I like the newer way of having a wrist band to start the pushing - for obvious reasons.Have you experienced my number 3a when you go down an incline? If you turn it off with a double tap of the wrist does the wheel simply turn off? Does it give any resistance to the hill or does it free wheel?One last question - I've heard that this version has the battery built into the SmartDrive wheel case itself rather than being a separate PACK of batteries that is usually hanging under the seat like mine? True or not?
I was looking for the link to find out how to speak with my Dr about getting one prescribed for me and I apprecoate the link to the manufacturer...much appreciated.
Hi Nicole, I watched your video because I want a new SmartDrive. I saw you driving over bumpy terrain too. I also do that regularly;) because I want to participate as much as possible everywhere. I have a FreeWheel for the first time this year. I live in the Netherlands and have 2 sons, I also take a walk in the woods with them. During my vacation we were in France and now I could easily join the old towns. If you want I can send you a picture of this. It's just a tip :) Greetings Woutera Lindhout
This is great I'm finally getting a new chair after 10 years n they recommend this it looks swesome hoping my insurance pays for it how long did it take ur insurance to approve it
Hi Nicol. Thanks for making a great video on the smart drive. I’m an OT/ATP and occasionally teach on this topic. Would you mind if I showed a part of this video during my class? Thanks for the consideration! Jeffrey
Don't know if you check older posts, hopefully you do. Just wanting to ask your opinion about how well Smartdrive does on uneven terrain and anything steeper than, say, ADA approved inclines. Thank you in advance if you see this.
It's a pity the Design in so Flawed ! I've done nothing but replace the small Contact Wheels due to there Uneven Wearing that occurs due to the poor thought that went into the wheel placement by way of running the small rubber wheels inline with the frame ! What the designer should have done is offset the small rubber wheels so they ran at an angle in instead of running straight when contacting the road / footpath surface ! By angling the small rubber wheels it would of forced the wheels to rotate everytime contact is made Rather than waiting for the machine to turn to make a rotation ! I don't understand why they did it like they did But my guess is to cercomgate a patent ! or it was intentional so as to provide additional income by way of spare parts ! Either way its cost me hundreds of additional dollars to maintain it anywhere near serviceable / usable .
Nicol Mari Hernandez I have problems with that. Especially on a crooked road. When I hold my hand gently on one rim it stops? What am I doing wrong? And when I make a full turn it also turn of?
I am about to buy a chair and a smartdrive can you tell us if there are any changes that you are aware of from two years ago, anything different from then? thank you!
Hello beautiful i have a quick question what do you have your sensitivity set at? Because when i raise my arms to use the buggy or have them up for a bit it will stop. so i was just wondering about your percentage on that please and thank you.
When SmartDrive MX2 is plugged into the charger, if the other end of the charger is not connected to the wall outlet, will it drive out of the room with the charger? or it doesn't work?
These are becoming popular. I was told that you would need to have weak upper body strength in order to have INS cover. You dont seem weak. What is the process like?
I don't use mine that much because I hate that piece of shit mx2 wrist wrist and band. so this past week I got a Ticwatch E2. I need research how to bind the E2 with my smart drive or I'll just call permobile tomorrow. so I gotta give you props for going to school with a spinal cord injury. your a tough chic. Anyway if you're interested in the E2 message me. I got a great deal from Gearbest.. Anyway great video.. I'll smack that like and subscribe tabs.. ♿
takes some gettign used to, but there are different modes and now there are switches so you can tap once, double tap, or just flip a switch to activate. its very easy
I have the SmartDrive mx2 plus with tracker. My chair will not break manually in case of emergency. If the band fell off my wrist I couldn’t stop the chair. Do u know if there is a setting that allows manual braking? Kind of dangerous if not?
@@NicolMari she's asking which is something i never thought of, what if the wrist band comes of your wrist, the band is only rubber, it could crack after a long time of wear. good question Annie
I'm with Kevin, I'd like to know if insurance covers. I have Fibromyalgia and also Neuromyelitisoptica and would greatly benefit from having one as some days I have severe mobility issues and unable to roll myself nor lug my heavy wheelchair around. 😕
Awesome video I've been looking at some of these for my wheelchair. Love your channel also! Just subbed! Would be amazing to support each other, don't be a stranger 😁 LJx

I just got mine 2 months ago it awesome and so helpful!!! Same thing my college campus is all hill and it so helpful. I love it!!!!
The portability of this is awesome. Thanks Nicol. After installing a couple of Baytec units this one has some better advantages.
Had a SmartDrive for my Christmas present last year. It has been an awesome ride so far! Very useful and helpful technology Nicol!

I hope you get it as well Good Luck
Awesome

These are useful I have one but no longer use it but it was everything , I only had to pay the co payment .
I just got my smart drive yesterday....im just getting the hang of it.
How. Does it. Makes turn.. Definitely. Want one now ..
And areas around Boulder, where I went to Law School.
Do like the Quickie!!!!
Great invention,
Hi Nicol. Thanks for making a great video on the smart drive. I’m an OT/ATP and occasionally teach on this topic. Would you mind if I showed a part of this video during my class? Thanks for the consideration! Jeffrey

Can you attach a smart drive on any manual wheelchair?
How do u control it to go left or right? I appreciate u making this video! I didn't know a smart drive was available to anyone. ❤️
dominique romero thanks for watching! I just hold the left or right rim to move just like I would when I'm manually pushing myself.
Nicol Mari Hernandez I have problems with that. Especially on a crooked road. When I hold my hand gently on one rim it stops? What am I doing wrong? And when I make a full turn it also turn of?
Will Smart Drive make it around a Golf Course with hill?
Try Noxville, TN without it!
This one's a tok " better" than my M 25. 'cause l first have to give my M 25 a push and then it' ll work, but it's made for different abilities.
Do you have to charge it or does it come with a full charge?
what type of wheels does your wheel chair have in order run in grass and rough surface? Does the smart drive can be use both indoor and outdoor?
yes, indoor and outdoor, puddles. Nothing to crazy off road though, it wont get you through mud.
I am about to buy a chair and a smartdrive can you tell us if there are any changes that you are aware of from two years ago, anything different from then? thank you!
can i leave the cap to the charging port i guess you'd call it off. i ask because the cap on mine keeps falling off
Hello beautiful i have a quick question what do you have your sensitivity set at? Because when i raise my arms to use the buggy or have them up for a bit it will stop. so i was just wondering about your percentage on that please and thank you.
How can you get the health insurance to pay for device?
it wud be intersting if they built an app for apple watchand then person cud use the mothion sence onapple watch yo control it and customise contrpls
When SmartDrive MX2 is plugged into the charger, if the other end of the charger is not connected to the wall outlet, will it drive out of the room with the charger?

Is it really hard to use? It seems really difficult with all the taping procedures?
takes some gettign used to, but there are different modes and now there are switches so you can tap once, double tap, or just flip a switch to activate. its very easy
Does it depend on weight of the person
can you pop willies still in your chair with the smart drive on?
How do you charge it
Can you use it for wheelchair Dancing
hm if you buy it?
that's cool
what does a smart dry do for you when that comes to connecting wheelchairs?
it turns your manual chair into a power chair, so you dont have to push, it will turn on and battery power it
I have the SmartDrive mx2 plus with tracker. My chair will not break manually in case of emergency. If the band fell off my wrist I couldn’t stop the chair. Do u know if there is a setting that allows manual braking? Kind of dangerous if not?
Annie WithanE hi! Thanks for watching! You have to double tap your wrist that has the band to stop!
@@NicolMari she's asking which is something i never thought of, what if the wrist band comes of your wrist, the band is only rubber, it could crack after a long time of wear. good question Annie
Do you not have the option to have buttons on the chair aswell
How does it do in the snow? Thanks!
eh. better than nothing, but its still not a ton of traction
How come they never say how much it cost
omg as if! in the uk these are simply not an option-none of us have that kind of money.
not all of us in the uSA do either, I was lucky to find mine second hand
Did your insurance pay for the smart drive? Im curious cause i want to get one for my dad but its kind of pricey
I'm with Kevin, I'd like to know if insurance covers. I have Fibromyalgia and also Neuromyelitisoptica and would greatly benefit from having one as some days I have severe mobility issues and unable to roll myself nor lug my heavy wheelchair around. 😕
Miz LeMay yea in’s will cover you need to have your dr. Put in the order for it
@@mizlemay3572 Insurance will pay if your dr writes it up right
What's a sensor smart drive?
Every single video I see about smart drive nobody can show me how steep a hill this thing can go.
size pls.
What about Independent pushing
You can take independent control at any time.
Awesome video I've been looking at some of these for my wheelchair. Love your channel also! Just subbed! Would be amazing to support each other, don't be a stranger 😁 LJx
