- This video is specifically for anybody shopping for a foldable power wheelchair with an in-frame battery design. You would not believe the level of fraud and deceptive marketing practices prevalent in the industry today! This video shows you a website that we ordered a chair from, the third party using that website to sell the chair, the deceptive pictures used, and the item that was absolutely not as pictured as it is opened up. Let the buyer beware!
At the time of this video, October 2nd 2021 - Here are other deceptive dealers - • EWHEELS DEALERS FALSE ...
Sometimes bargain shopping is not all it's cracked up to be.

I agree with everything in this video EXCEPT the implication that ONLY old people use wheelchairs. At age 49, I fight that bias and stereotype every day. Disability does not discriminate against age.
Hi Andee, Thank you for your comment and I agree. I let my emotions get in the way of proper articulation in the video. There is no specific age group that uses and relies on medical mobility aids to live day to day life. The part that frustrated / frustrates me about this type of dishonesty the most, is it is predatory behavior to those who may be too sick, too tired and too worn out to put up a fight. In turn they accept what is given, despite being blatantly deceived. I agree with your point 100%.
I have progressive Multiple Sclerosis and the pandemic lockdowns we’re not helpful at all for my disease. After successfully managing my MS symptoms with alternative approaches for 16 years, I reluctantly needed a wheelchair to get out of my home and back to living life again when the world opened up. I watched every single TH-cam video (numerous times) before buying my magenta pink Eagle power wheelchair from Quick N Mobile. I called and talked to Paul, the guy in all of the online videos I had watched :) Best purchase I have ever made to help my independence!!! Thank you Quick N Mobile 🙏💕😊
Hello Holly, thank you for your comment. We are so happy to know you are getting our and about and enjoying your Eagle! We wish you all the goodness in the world.
It’s not always because someone just wants a bargain, it can be what they can afford, especially if you are on disability. So I know now not to buy these and keep saving. Thank you!
Amazon should be liable to make sure the dealers on their sight are selling what it listed.
I purchased a eagle HD for my wife and she absolutely loves it. You guys are wonderful company and it is a shame that there are people out there who are going to copycat especially dealing with equipment that is medical grade I mean she gets wonderful compliments on her chair from everyone and we live in Florida. Keep doing what you're doing You're doing it the right way and I just wanted to say thank you. And you copycats shame on you.
I have the Falcon and couldn’t be happier! Thanks for doing what you do!!
I'm buying a chair for my mom this week. I'm skeptical now as to where to buy one afterwatching.. Wow. Great video. Thank you.
Company's don't care .it just shows right there what you pointed out is fraud.now the attorney general should jump on stuff like this.thank you so much for pointing this stuff out .thank you GOD BLESS YOU.
I'm so happy I did my research and found you 400 pound capacity it what sold me now I'm jus hoping I have no issues with my chair definitely buy from here Paul will take care of u
This really burns my biscuit. Senior abuse
Wow! I am so glad I came across this video! I am a Disabled Veteran and I just got home from my appointment to get an Eagle chair. I'm going to send this to my VA representative to ensure yours is what is being bought with our tax dollars!
My husband is a disabled war time vet and goes to the VA and needs an electric wheelchair, which is why I'm watching these videos. I didn't know the VA would get these type chairs. Do they have a list of chairs they allow you to pick from or did you just let them know which one you wanted? I'm sure they have a cost limit, but I'm going to check into this. If you don't mind, will you let me know if you were able to show them what you wanted? Or, was the Eagle already on their approved list? I'll understand if you don't want to say and respect your privacy. I was thrilled to come across your comment, because it may be able to help my husband. Thank you for sharing.
I bought my Eagle HD from you January 4 2020 and still love it and used it today to go for a ride, I don't need it anymore since it has been a year since my hip replacements but for the last two years it has been a blessing to have it. I still have not had to charge it as the batteries charge last a long time. I would recommend buying from your company. I don't know that dealer but I don't live that far from them.
Hello Keith, Thank you for your kind words! We are very happy to know that the Eagle helped you in a time of need, we are happier to know that you are up, out and about again. Please feel welcome to call us if there is anything we can do to help you!
I have had some dealings with Suncoast. I tried to visit in person. GPS took me to the local post office. That address is one of the St Pete Florida Post Offices. He stopped returning my calls when I advised I tried to come visit the store. My need was a folding scooter. Dodged a bullet with them. DISGUSTING.
Just looking at the knock off I can tell it is going to be extremely uncomfortable or even painful due to the corners that were cut on the frame construction and even the cushion looks awful as someone who is in a wheelchair 24/7 365 days a year for 13. I would be afraid to put anyone I care about in the knock off for safety reasons because of their deception with the batteries it shows they are unethical! Thanks so much for doing this video!
I have one of your Eagles. Love it. It's my outdoor chair. I got it in October of 2019 and it is still doing it for me.
Thanks for the heads up.. I know if I got that fraudulent piece I wouldn't have the capability to send it back and would be stuck with something I dont want rather than bug my daughter for help with the return.
Hello Lele, thank you for your comment. We do the best we can to provide information about our chairs so our potential and existing customer can be aware of what is out there and avoid getting scammed by companies making cheap, low quality look-a-like chairs. Wishing you a great day!
Thank You for this video
I love your dog.....great Info thank you!
Hello Tammy, thank you for your kind words!
Do you have electric wheelchairs with adjustable backrest
Hello, we sure do! The Falcon has an adjustable back rest. You can find it here: quicknmobile.com/product/falcon-reclinable-folding-power-wheelchair-that-holds-up-to-400-lbs/
Im looking at the sentire med forza, is that a knock off?
The chair you mentioned seems like a legitimate company. Its a chair with under seat batteries, not in frame batteries. The issue with this one was a bait and switch. They showed "The Eagle" wheelchair, which has in frame batteries, on their online store, then sent the monster you see in the video. The model we were sent is heavier than the Eagle, and has under seat batteries only accessible from the back of the chair. When you looked at their ads, you believed your were getting an Eagle, for a discount. Imagine your surprise when that thing shows up instead!
Thank You - Thank You!
I have been diligently looking for a chair for the last 3 years. Money is so tight when you struggle with a Chrinic Disease.
Unfortunately having a chronic illness you do have to penny pinch. Saving a “few” hundred dollars is like winning the lottery!
What a sad shame to take advantage of people who struggle trying to make it day by day physically & financially. What makes it worse is the Caregiver is included in this vicious scheme adding unnecessary stress & heartache to their overloaded day.
I have 3 chairs narrowed down 2 are by you. The Eagle or Falcon.
I plan on buying mid Spring I thank God I saw this now I know to buy direct from you.
Thanks for this video. Have a great day!
Hello Heart of Chocolate, thank you for your comment! We wish you everything good. We agree that fraud is a shameful practice and we do what we can to expose the different areas that what we think of as unscrupulous vendors scam seniors and others.
So the batteries aren’t in the same place. Is it not functional?
Hi Daustin, functional is not the point of the video. The chair that was advertised was a 50lbs chair with in frame batteries and different size dimensions than the one they decided to send. That company is no longer on that big box website selling either. Yes, people do look for bargains. There is nothing wrong with bargain shopping. Personally, I would rather VALUE shop than bargain shop. Value for dollars spent is batter than a bargain any day of the week in our opinion. We get many phone calls on a daily basis from people who learned the hard way the high cost of bargain shopping and getting something different than they believed they were paying for. Makes sense? We think so. Wishing you a great day.
I love your dog.....great Info thank you! I'm going to call you looking to make a purchase.
Hello Tammy, thank you for your kind words! Our phone number is 888-701-8799 and our inventory can be found here: quicknmobile.com/product-category/powerwheelchairs/
But the question is, is Inframe batteries worth $1000+ extra? Like the All Stars Electric foldable Wheelchair has really good reviews and warranteed, its similar to the Falcon, but it's not an inframe battery.
We tend to believe it is. Do you want to be crawling behind your chair to unscrew cords or fish out a battery? Not only that, there is max weight capacity, brushed motors vs brushless motors (lasts longer, more expensive) FDA approval, FAA approved batteries, and MANY other factors to consider, including replacement parts (which we have).
Thanks for the heads up. I’m sorry this other company is trying to infringe on your business. If you’ve got the patent, it is certainly not moral behavior on their part; nor is shipping something different from the ad.
Hello G S, thank you for your comment. Yes, it is frustrating when this happens. Action has been taken, but similar to the "whack-a-mole" game, when one goes down, another comes up. We do the best we can to point out the differences between authentic and knock off. We will continue to serve our potential and existing customers the best we can!
I have dislocated hips and would love to have your power wheelchair but I’m on fix income. So how can I purchase your chair in fix income ☹️☹️
Hello Jayr, thank you for your comment. Quick N Mobile does offer instant financing. You can learn the details here: quicknmobile.com/financing/
I'm shocked - but not surprised - I hope 2-yrs down the road those guys were put out of business. I have found a very reputable-looking company in Sydney, selling these chairs to Australia, so hopefully a Falcon will be for me - are spares easily available?
That company is no longer in business that was doing the bait and switch. We do not ship to AU, unfortunately, but are aware of a company in AU using the Falcon trade name. They are not associated with us in any capacity.
I bought the Eagle HD7 love it had been damaged in transit or in factory storage they replaced it. I can use it easily and get it in and out of car myself would highly recommend this company and products.
Hello Pete, thank you for the comment. We always to everything in our power and ability to ensure great working mobility chairs!
Live in Sweden but I like your chair
Hello Srocklund, thank you for your comment. We have many overseas customers that use Freight Forwarding services. Although we ship for free to the US, that does not stop our overseas customers from enjoying our chairs. Wishing you a wonderful day!
We aint old we are "elderly senior citizens"!
Hello Daniel, thank you for your comment. Agreed!!!
Well, I feel old!
Don't you have the patent on that chair how does other people get make that chair like yours without the same battery
Hello Kevin, In this case, it was bait and switch advertising. The vendor showed pictures of an unmarked Eagle, end sent us the product in the video. Many vendors were doing the same thing.
What about Fold and Go?
The "tubular steel" version that magnets won't stick to? LOL!!!
Please put it in amazon reviews
Hello Ahmed, that company name no longer exists or sells on the website we purchased it from. Many shady and dishonest companies use the big box websites to sell products, then disappear as a result of violating terms of service or for other reasons, like getting caught in videos like we post here.
I Purchased a EWheel scooter and it was a Piece of JUNK the US Manufacturer has hiden from responding. So be very careful when you see EWheels Products that are NOT KNOCK OFFS
Good point. This case was a bait and switch. The vendor showed pictures of the Eagle model wheelchair, with the in frame batteries. We were sent the monster you see in the video. Back breaker battery location and HEAVY.
Did you contact Amazon or bbb smells like a lawsuit.
That company, surprise, surprise, is no longer on big box websites promoting their bait and switch tactics.
I'm disabled with multiple sclerosis and unfortunately I have to use a wheelchair Very disappointed if I grab that because I don't have money to waste I'm what I don't have
If this is fraud, why don't you report this to consumer reports orvwhatever agency deals with this.
Similar to BBB, consumer reports is a business itself. Sure, you can complain, but complaints to those types of companies are a waste of time we feel. Documenting these types of events with videos is a great way to spread awareness. You watched this, but I wonder of you have read consumer reports, or even if consumer reports actually has all the consumables in the US published for the world to see? Hopefully, you understand our point and perspective.
OMG ...I just comparing of traverler wheelchair so I can go Holiday again from Pandemic ...
and I nearly pay yesterday really this kind of the chair similar of what you r doing and showing the
faKe one ...OMG OMG OMG is that Amazon .....thnx for sharing ...
Hello Marnacer, Thank you for your comment. We do everything we can to help expose the dirty practices that others are doing. At the time that video was made, there were SEVERAL companies showing one chair, publishing a mower price than the Eagle, and sending out the chair you see in the videos. It's a shame if you ask us. What you see here is what you get: quicknmobile.com/product-category/powerwheelchairs/
RIGHT ON!
👍👍👍👍👍
I always buy the opposition being bad mouthed. I hate negative bagging others.
I agree with you. There is a difference between being negative and pointing out fraud, scams and abusive companies. Bait and Switch is a form of Fraud, wouldn't you agree?
Send it back get your money back make a complaint on
That company is no longer advertising on the big box website shown in this video.
So what are the mobility equipment sellers in the community going to do about it? It is not often about trying to save money, but rather insufficient funding to buy the device locally. Who can afford the cost in the first place. Half the time people with mobility disabilities cant get a credit card. This sort of "educAtion" is blaming the disabled for not being to afford the device. What fundinv support do you offer? Publicise that so people who need to use electric wheelchair know where to go for help. What is Amazon doing about this. Are you going to inform Amazon. If you know yhis os happening, what is your ethical responsiblity.
Hello Rachel, I am not sure, but maybe you are seeing a subtext that isn't there? There is no blame, just information. We did take appropriate actions so far as informing all parties involved in this transaction (so please don't make assumptions)- as well as publicising so others know to ask the right questions first, prior to clicking the "Buy Now" button. Also, FYI, we do offer multiple financing options that many of our customers take advantage of. Wishing you a great day.
Why can't you sue for making your chair.you people hold the patent.
Hello Bammer, most of the fraud chairs are done so with pictures of, for example, the Eagle, and then you are shipped something entirely different. The scammers are hopeful you will accept what they have sent without making waves. Some people likely do.
That's shameful. I purchased mine last year from you all. YOU even personally called me to talk about my purchase which blew me away. I hated the fact that literally a week later I caught COVID SARS 19 and after 8 months of fighting in the hospital I could not physically use my chair anymore....... Luckily I'll be getting something a bit better for my needs. But by far if this is the chair that will fit your needs GET IT. There was nothing like the customer service and quality I got. Shame people are framing to sell things like your company.
Hello Martha, thank you for your comment cnad kind words. We wish, hope and pray that you are feeling much better, and that you are able to be more mobile and enjoy life as much as possible. Please feel welcome to call us any time, we will do everything we can to help.
How much does your chair cost
