The first wheelchair my insurance got me was a Invacare Pronto M91 power wheelchair due to lack of grip strength...which I hated from day one. The biggest issue is that it weighs 300 lbs by itself and is very difficult to transport. I only use it outside in my backyard. I purchased an Invacare Tracer IV off the internet to see if I could self propel...which I couldn’t. That is until I found some wheelchair gloves and from that point on I never used my power wheelchair outside of my backyard again. However, I didn’t like the high backrest, canes for having someone push me or the footrests. So, I got my jigsaw out and modified the back, and took the footrests off that came with it and put a chain hanging down to put my feet on. After I was able to show my doctors and insurance that I could self propel in a manual wheelchair they ordered me a TiLite TRA. I really liked this one, but when they ordered it they didn’t angle the front in to a smaller footplate which can cause the front casters to hit things they shouldn’t. Then my doctors got a TiLite ZRA in that they didn’t have a patient for and asked me if I wanted it...of course I did. It’s a good wheelchair and the front is angled in to a smaller footplate, but the overall width is 1 inch wider even though they have the same seat width and tires/wheels. My current wheelchair is a WCMX daily use Box Wheelchair. It has full suspension (fox shocks in the back and even the front casters have suspension). This is by far my favorite wheelchair. Even though it’s heavier than my TiLite’s it’s easier to self propel. The primary vehicle I use now is a wheelchair ramp van (I only recently got this), so I don’t have to disassemble/reassemble my wheelchair when getting in or out. If I go somewhere in my wife’s car or a rental car I use my TiLite TRA. My Box Wheelchair has the Surge hand rims and I’ve found I don’t need the wheelchair gloves with them, but I do still wear them when outside as it protects my hands. I have a set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus street tires/wheels and a set of Kenda Nevegal off-road tires/wheels and find that were I live the off-road tires work better as an everyday setup. I also use a FreeWheel and a SmartDrive with the Switchcontrol (I don’t use the PushTracker (wrist watch) at all). I think for me a manual wheelchair with the SmartDrive is the best setup. It’s light and easy to transport, but I still have power assist for hills and long pushes. I think the TiLite wheelchairs are great, especially for your first wheelchair as they are adjustable and you can really dial in your seat height and center of gravity. I really like my Box Wheelchair as it’s the most comfortable to sit in all day and the easiest to self propel, but am also considering a HOC (hands on concepts) for my next wheelchair.
Love the yellow chair looks so smart and in such good condition I am so clumsy with my chairs I had the quickie xenon 2 sa and it was heavy no way you could lift it over you
Curious, if you don’t mind, what insurance do you have that allows a new chairs every 3 years and will pay extra for a titanium chair the special spokes, wheels, etc. Any insurance I’ve heard of will only replace chairs every 5 years and never pay the upgrade for a titanium chair or special wheels, etc.
Mabey some private insurances would. Some people pay out of pocket for chairs because most insurances only cover good enough to get by for now. After being in a wheelchair for 20 years I am considering buying a custom built to exact specs titanium chair and cutting as much weight as possible just to help my shoulders last a little longer.
Ozzie, I have my original Quickie rigid frame in yellow and it still looks great. (got it in 2000) I also have a Ti in natural finish. Love the Ti, but it is rigid frame and difficult to get into vehicles. My everyday chair is an AIR Inc. (went out of business and now I can't get parts) I love it since it is foldable and very light weight. I am shopping now for a new chair and am looking at a Motion Composite Veloce (folding) or a Tilite 2GX (folding) any knowledge of these? I could really use some help since as you say..."once it arrives, it's yours". P.S. I agree with you 100%. My chair is an extension of me, if it's dirty, gooey, nasty...how does that translate to me? I wash my chair every couple of months, keep the thing clean, a little oil, a little wipe down with a rag, and they will last. Also in the ladies section of the stores, I buy fingernail polish that is as close as I can find for touch-up. We all get that occasional dinger!!
Man I will take the weight for a rigid back I feel like sling backs make me stiff and sore. Right now I have a Tilite zra and box chair the box chair is a lot heavier but worth it.
I would have liked to hear how you felt about the aluminum frame (Smoothness and vibration) very Titanium frame that supposedly dampens the ride much better. You can see in you video the size difference between the chairs especially with the Quicky. Why have you not gotten a carbon frame chair? I really liked your video. Ted
People say the titanium absorbs vibrations better but I haven't noticed a difference. I say all that is purely hype from the companies that make the titanium chairs. I've obviously owned both types of chairs and they both feel the same to me.
They all look like they’ve never been used..... 🤣wish mine looked that new. Those lower thoracic j3 backrests come on at around 690 grams.....not that much weight.....and I’m a quad...with no triceps
Yeah, I'm chronically ill. I've had mine four years but very rarely go out and can only sit up about two hours a day due to a brain and spine issue needing surgery. I can't walk at all but still mostly on the couch and bed and my chair even with that little bit of use doesn't look as new as his.
Your video was very helpful. I am in the process of shopping for a new manual wheelchair. Can't believe it's time already! I have an Aero T, but looking for something that is titanium, lighter, and easier to push. If I am wrong, please correct me. I thought that we get a new wheelchair every five years, but can start the process every four and a half years. Please fill me in when you have time. Thanks again!
Ozzie, good for you. That's great. I wonder if my insurances will let me do that. I need a better, more fitting, one that will be great for inside and my everyday exploring outside in Florida, and easier to push. Take care!
No, not really. I prefer to use my yellow chair because it's easier to get in and out of my car because it doesn't have the extra brace like the silver chair has.
Sunt din Romania - Europe, si sufar de dubla amputatie. Am nevoie de un scaun foarte , foarte usor, care sa se plize si sa se scoaata rotile. Unde gasesc sa comand asa ceva??? Aveti o adresa?
@@Ozzie4Para I think he means the seat angle. As in whether the seat is basically flat like so ∟. Or if there's an inward angle to it like you may have seen on basketball wheelchairs.
You’re very fortunate that your insurance covered your Aero-T & Aero-Z in Titanium. Mine covers both, supposedly in Titanium, but vendor says payment is not enough. Just another hidden inconvenience of SCI.
I’m a 1st Time User, 1 month from foot amputation so I was wondering if the Amazon Drive Indoor Chair would work be a good choice when I am discharged? It looks pretty small so it should fit my hallway. For the price I would be able to learn what’s important in a chair before spending all that money. I was able to use an older TiLite chair at the hospital for 2 days but haven’t figured out how to transfer from chair to toilet gracefully. Since my feet are directly below the knees I try and scoot forward on seat until I can get my foot on the ground. Thanks
Ron Lawrence the Amazon chair is a great value. I think I paid a little over $100 for mine and it has served me well. I love my ultra lightweight wheelchairs but I also enjoy my $100 Amazon chair. I say that because I don’t feel like I’m walking on eggshells when I’m in my Amazon wheelchair. If I scratch it, it’s no big deal. I can’t say that about my expensive chairs. I treat them better than I treat myself. lol
I’m currently trying to fund for a quickie as my friend actually broke my chair so I haven’t been able to leave my house for a long time cause I can’t afford a new chair
Ozzie, I was wondering if you can tell the center to center dimension (wheelbase) of large wheels and the distance from big wheel axle center to small wheel axle center? The Amazon page lists the maximum width at 24” is that what yours measures? So it would fit thru 26” opening? Thanks so much for your help. Ron
Ron Lawrence yes. My Amazon chair measures just shy of 24” from one hand rim to the other. In other words, the widest point of my chair is slightly shy of 24” wide.
Ozzie thanks for the video What kind of insurance do you have that allows you new a new chair ever 3 years? I’m asking cuz an getting insurance and im clueless about good insurance for wheelchair users! Appreciate your help!
Hey Andrea, your insurance and the mobility company that makes the chair will approve you for a new one if you have any life changes that would qualify you for one such as a condition that got worse, or weight gain or loss.
I hope you dont mind me asking but how much did it cost to have your chair re-painted? also I'm also like a lot of others, i'm also wondering how you were able to get a chair every three years and how you got a titanium chair covered? I'm only given the option of aluminum and only get one every five years.
I think I paid roughly $150 to have my yellow chair repainted. But it actually isn't paint it's powder coating which is much more durable than regular paint. As far as the insurance goes, I worked for AT&T for 14 years and they used United Healthcare. United allowed me to order a new wheelchair every three years which was nice. I retired early back in September of 2019 and I currently do not have any insurance. Thank God I have three very good wheelchairs to fall back on because they'll pretty much have to hold me over for a long time. This won't be a problem because as I mentioned in my video, I baby all my chairs.
@@Ozzie4Para Damn. My mother needs a chair really bad and dad worked for AT&T for nearly 30 years when it was still Ma Bell. I'll have to check to see if AT&T Retiree Cobra allows for wheelchairs. Thanks for this video, btw. I'm having a hard time deciding between a rigid or folding for her as we need ultra lightweight (none of us are young anymore) but folding would fit better in the car.
@@veganconservative1109 It would be helpful if she could get sized for a chair just for her. Her doctor would need to write her a script for a "wheelchair sized to fit". Also senior centers often have wheelchairs that they lend out for free or at very low cost.

I had United Healthcare when I was working. But I retired early last year so I no longer have United. This pretty much means I will have to buy any future chairs I decide to get in to. That will be a long time because as you can see from my video, I have three chairs which are all in perfect condition. The white chair barely gets used so it is literally scratch free at the moment.
Did United buy you spinergy wheels to? I just got United. I already have a Tilite. And I really need to get spinergy wheels but I haven't tried yet. I have the tilite shadow wheels because Numotion wouldn't try for the spinergy wheels

@@pjaypender1009 I use my Drive chair as my indoor chair that never goes outside. The other chairs are my outside traveling chairs that never go inside unless I’m doing a deep cleaning on them. Hopefully that makes. But if it doesn’t, I really don’t give a crap.
I added you to my public Playlist on wheelchairs -
Thank you for sharing!
Very informative! This was exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks for taking time to make this!
I love the color yellow too
Yes, yellow is my favorite color. I love Yellow...
I’ve been in a wheelchair for 7 years and never knew of those. Been using the $150 drive for 7 years. Just ordered a quickly, need it to fold
Thanks. I was looking at a Quickie foldable...I have second thoughts now.
@@09EAC I wouldn’t recommend any Quickie chair if weight is a concern. They look okay but they are heavier than titanium TiLite chairs.
Thanks, Ozzie, very informative.

Nice collection
I wish I’d seen this before I hit my quickie - just ordered a ti lite! Thank you d
You're very welcome. TiLite chairs are much better chairs than Quickies.
Where can i get these kind wheelchairs?
Love the yellow chair looks so smart and in such good condition I am so clumsy with my chairs
I had the quickie xenon 2 sa and it was heavy no way you could lift it over you
Yeah, I don’t like my Xenon chair. It’s a huge disappointment compared to my TiLite chairs.
Mine is rusty and is about to break, you have a collection wow
Wow every 3 years. It's every 5 years where I am. Though that's for power wheelchairs, I don't know if it differs for manual wheelchairs.
Curious, if you don’t mind, what insurance do you have that allows a new chairs every 3 years and will pay extra for a titanium chair the special spokes, wheels, etc. Any insurance I’ve heard of will only replace chairs every 5 years and never pay the upgrade for a titanium chair or special wheels, etc.

So you have 3 great lightweight wheelchairs and you're sitting in a Drive Medical hospital style wheelchair? Make that make sense.
@@pjaypender1009 I use my Drive chair as my indoor chair that never goes outside. The other chairs are my outside traveling chairs that never go inside unless I’m doing a deep cleaning on them. Hopefully that makes. But if it doesn’t, I really don’t give a crap.
Can u gift me anyone
before you make a video please be more informed
Thanks Ozzie. Very informative.
