@HoolyDooly-si2zz I've seen them go on super steep hills and all kinds of terrain and they're pretty stable. But they can get high centered if you go over a log or something which is annoying
@HoolyDooly-si2zz you're screwed if you get stuck lol. But I'm screwed if I get stuck in my wheelchair too. Just the nature of disability. There will always be limitations to the tools that give us more independence, but they are better than no independence or freedom at all. If we stopped using mobility aids because they sometimes fail then what a sad world it would be for people like me:)
Absolutely a real asset for us in wheelchairs. I’d love to own one and be able to go back into the bush hunting again, it would be a dream come true for me. Even seeing nature again in person would be something I haven’t been able to do for 20+ years. When I was able bodied I spent so much time in the outdoors fishing hunting and snowshoeing, that has all been taken away. Maybe some day these will be provided by insurance companies or government funding ( not holding my breath) wishful thinking to have a huge part of my life back.
Given the amount of incredibly useful information she has provided since the start of this channel, it's hard to believe she doesn't have tons more subscribers.
Hey Brittney, due in part to you and others extolling the virtues of these all-terrain chairs, a friend of mine who lives part time in Minnesota just told me that her state offers these chairs in 13 of their State Parks! My friend shares my values of more inclusiveness and accessibility! Her and I talk often about you & your Empowered Para TH-cam channel! Keep up the good work of making everyone aware of these changes to accessibility!!
Needs higher ground clearance, Needs independently suspended tracks so that they are not locked together. Needs a gyroscopic seat-righting sustem to help keep riders upright.
I have one in orange and I still haven’t gotten comfortable on steep or sidewise, yet, but I am working on it. I made a mistake in not getting the self leveling seat. Oh, well. I’ll get used to it this summer and what I can and cannot do in it.
Interesting. My state doesn’t allow tracked vehicles of any kind on asphalt roads, so I’m thinking that chair would be of limited use anywhere tracked vehicles are prohibited (they ruin asphalt).
From what I see,body position front to back has drastically less effect than in our normal chairs no leaning forward to go up hill. I would need this just for my driveway
These thangs will get you places! I tried one out last summer at a local park. Pretty fun .. they are kind of slow ... but that's a good thing for me LOL
When the dude was going up the hill in reverse what was causing the tracks on his chair to skip so much that it looked like they were going to throw the track?
I don't know if I have a right to say anything. I am waiting for my first wheelchair. But these things look awesome They would work great in the area I live in
The video made it look like nobody told you guys that you tilt the seat forward when you go uphill and tilt it backward when you go downhill. It makes it feel a lot more stable when you do that.
@@EmpoweredPara Plus don’t try to go down a steep hill while in the standing position. A frequent rider told me that he did it and face planted. He said it hurt pretty bad.
The seats pivot on those as well, not sure why he didn't that feature to you guys, but it allows you to pivot the seat forward when going up a steep hill in order to reduce risk of flipping over backwards by keeping your weight further out in front.
I live in the country on a mountain, so I use that feature all the time. They do have a self-leveling option, but I did not get that, so do it manually.
very cool channel you got.. just some advice... l'm a C5-6 Quad and l use an extreme x8 4x4 chair, benefits of it are because its more narrow it can be used in and outside. also has a tilt feature.. but the down side is that its narrow and more prone to feeling like it wants to tip over.. but keep a level head don't panic and you'll be okay... and finally after 10yrs l ended up putting it on its side just a few days ago.. because of a washout rut.. but it does take a pretty steep side hill decently and as for a hill like that, it'll cruise up it without it rocking back like that one did, but if the wheelie bars were lower on that chair it would still tip back as easy but only go as far back till those wheel touched. but it'll still feel like a rocking chair due to the short wheelbase and triangle shape of the tracks, and if the wheels are lower you'll lose the height advantage to drive over things.. and honestly l don't care what that guy said it tipping that far that easy is a BIG problem, because if its going to rock and tip back going up its going to do the same thing on the way down, especially if you were to stop or slow down, and there's no safety stop for falling forward. also the way the track was skipping over the sprocket teeth when your buddy was backing up the hill, you'd really not want a track to fall off.. not fun to put back on unless you know what you're doing and you got help. lf it can't go up hill forward just going backwards is not the solution So if you did tip back to the point where your feet are not going to come back down you're going to flip right over unless you luck out and land on the wheelie bars but damn that's an "if" l wouldn't risk. and l've done some crazy things.. and could probably write a do's and don't manual. l've also climbed steeper hills just by the more forward l tilt the seat of the chair. it also has no real problems driving straight up and over obstacle like the beams around that playground without getting hung up. but this has been a long enough comment as it is.. Hope this info is helpful in some way And in the 25yrs of being paralyzed l've learned a few things, lf anybody needs more info or wants to ask me something l'm an open book about chair advice, cheers
That was all super helpful information! Thank you so much for taking the time to give such great feedback! Can you provide a link to the chair you have? I am not sure I would ever be brqce enough to take any all terrain wheelchair to a place that was capable of tipping it lol. I would not have done any of the stuff in the video without many capable able bodied humans there lol. I definitely don't want to take dumb chances. I enjoy waking up on this side if the grave!
@@EmpoweredPara no prob... l like to help where l can, and l've seen my share of things and products that's supposed to help but don't. and yes, l agree this side of the grave is better than the alternative, that's another reason l commented because l know what works and what doesn't, especially from a safety point of view for us wheelchair user. l'm not saying l'm an expert but l do know a fair bit, and if l can help someone in a small way that's new to off-roading l'll do my best. because none of these types of chairs are cheap at all... nothing deemed medical is. so, if you're going to spend money on something like this it should have at least a dual use. not just sit in your garage till the next time you're going to use it. The X8 would be a decent all-around chair, and if you watch where you go and avoid things like a washed-out rut which l hit as l was exploring an area with tall grass, you'll be golden and have a lot of fun. it also has two features 1. you can tilt back and relax 2. it also can lift from the seat pan raising your entire body into the air so you can reach things higher up and if you or anyone else needs or what's to ask me something just send me a message Take Care Here's a like to the chair l have www.magicmobility.com.au/wheelchairs/extreme-x8-4x4-electric-wheelchair/
You simply don’t know what you don’t know. Neither did she get a good explanation of the other features of the track chair. The seat has an electric hydraulic ram that allows you to tilt the seat forward (lean forward) while going up hills, and tilt the seat back (lean back) when descending hills. I’ve had my track chair over 10 years now. And I have only flipped it over backwards once and forward once. But I’m a risk taker, and was finding out the limits the hard way, kinda knew that I was going to get tossed out of the chair in those instances. And in regards to her friends track chair skipping on the sprocket, I’m not sure what the issue was there. But I’ve never even came close to derailing a track. The way the track and idler/bogey wheels and the drive sprockets are designed, makes it almost impossible to derail the tracks. And I’ve definitely put it through it a lot of terrain that has certainly tested the limits. I have thousands of hour’s operating track skid steers and mini excavator, and I’ve derailed the tracks on track skid steers, but figured out what I did wrong to make it pop off the track with that machine. I’ve deliberately made the same maneuver on my track chair and its rock solid.
@@Maddog165 Sorry bud, but l am no amateur when it comes to this stuff, l've got 24yrs dealing with wheelchairs 10yrs with my x8 alone, that tipped over only because l hit a rut going down a hiking trail that was overgrown... and before my wreck, l ran excavators and dozers, a few skid steers. scrapers, loaders and tractors with and without a boggie wheel set up for tracks, l also drove truck.. not to mention the atv's and snowmachines l had and still have, anyway, toss a track off a d7 or worse a d8 and you'll find the limits... and you'll know why that track was skipping... especially from a mechanics point of view so, the issue was that he was going up the hill backwards on an angle which put all the weight on the one side of the chair, that's why it was skipping over the top sprocket, because it doesn't seem to have guides to keep it in place... and they're rubber tracks. and the last 3 chairs l've had all have had the tilt feature... l've put my x8 on not quite a 40 degree angle forwards and backwards without tipping it.. l also pull a 48' inch cut dr. mower with it to cut my yard which is around 5-6 acres, hills slanted ditches you name l got it... and l'm a quadriplegic whose got limited function in my upper body... so l do my homework and study anything l'm going to be using and so, you saying you've flipped that chair both backwards and forwards proves my point it has stability issues... it's a high centered machine with a short wheelbase... and you'll never be able to put the same stress load on a track chair as you did in a excavator... and l bet you still got the wheel bars on it... as l've took mine off because they were getting in the way of climbing over and up things... not that it stopped me l just got tired of them being dragged over stuff... also it got hung up crossing what seemed like barely a beam so it also has ground clearance problems.. but hey if it works for you that's great, l happy for you... not being rude or an asshole either, its hard to find a chair that'll take a beating and ask for more but there are people out there that will also see the flaws in an ex-bomb disposal unit converted to a mobility chair as l did... instead of a purpose-built mobility chair
I’ve been able to spend about 30 minutes playing in an Action Track Chair on a step hillside. I loved it and would love to own one, but I just can’t get past the price.
Brittany, have you seen on TH-cam: JerryRigEverything's "The Rig": It's Not A Wheelchair. I'm a cyclist and I've been riding fat tire bikes for eons, and to me that build looks absolutely fantastic. Plus, that video is two years old, so I'm sure they've made improvements.
Your salesman doesn't know much about the chair I assume. They have a tilt function specifically for climbing and decent. It levels the chair and changes your center of gravity keeping the chair from tipping. I have one and it was the best investment I've ever made. have had it for 10 years with very minimal problems.
I tried to get one because I live off grid, but the VA refused even consider it. Because of my terrain, a normal wheelchair gets nodded down leaving me pretty much trapped indoors.
How did you get the lettres of your hat on backwards? That's really talented! I want to hear more about this bomb disposal unit. Hint...when going up hill (or down)...go at an angle (or backwards to go up). I never would have thought of Johnny-5.
I love that chair I would love to have one but I could never see myself getting one the price would more be more than what I could afford I am a double amputee I have no legs and I am 65 years
I have an ST $14k + $3k in options I've used my chair 3Xs in 5 years I don't know which model you tested but my advice to anyone looking for an off road wheelchair DO NOT buy the ST it has 0 suspension 30min off road will have your back hurting for days and that's tackling obstacles and off road the right low speed. Works well on sand snow and mud hard surfaces are a nogo in my experience.
I have had my track chair for over 10 years now. About 8 months after my spinal cord injury, and I’ve taken it on trails with big tree roots on trail, also on very rocky trails, mud, snow and sand. Mine has zero suspension too and I’ve never had and sore back problems from using it.
@Brian Murrock what level of injury? I'm a C6 Quad if your injury is higher you might not have as much sensation and if it's lower you probably have more mobility and control over your core so it's not just dead weight absorbing every bump. If I punch you in the stomach twice but 1 time you brace your core 1 you don't they will both hurt but not bracing your core will hurt more.
Hi Brit , girl your awesome I owe a Lot to you your info with video's ..about ones Care Thank You X's Ten .. Chair Kick's ass ::)) Love yeah p.s. Love and Admire your Honesty
I love the chair, yet I know they are a little pricey? I need to get me an electric chair or scooter so I can get out of my house more often and even make a run to the local grocery store on my own. Who knows, I could even motor a mile or two to the neighborhood pond and do some fishing.😀😃😄😁
Those look like so much fun. It is great that they can be built from parts ordered online. It is amazing the stuff that is available for the disabled community. Thank you for showing these bad boys off 👩🦽👩🦼🏁🏳
My cousin, who was a double amputee had one of those on his farm in Wisconsin. He absolutely loved the freedom it afforded him. Enjoy!
Yeah they're awesome for farms!
@HoolyDooly-si2zz I've seen them go on super steep hills and all kinds of terrain and they're pretty stable. But they can get high centered if you go over a log or something which is annoying

These chairs are a terrific idea, because now the outdoors are accessible!

yeah, what the heck, hey, lol?!
That chair is awesome!! Like something from the terminator movies!!!She'll be back!
I have my own action track chair Track stander and randy was also my salesman! Love the man to death! He's an amazing guy!
Cool! Where are you from?
These new batteries they have now make this possible. Amazing! Reminds me of "Short Circuit" too.
Johnny 5!!!!
They are really good on a sandy beach.
My favorite line from Short Circuit is, “I am standing here beside myself!”
very nice and very perfect product Of course not everyone has the chance to buy it perfect very nice
That is so awesome. I hate having to go warp speed to keep from getting stuck in the dirt or sand
yeah seriously lol.
Must be great to be actually in the park with your kids, moving around with them wherever they want to play.
Yeah it was pretty cool!
I just saw these chairs at a convention. Great content and page.
Please get these guys back in the winter so we can see how those tracks perform in the snow.
Great idea!
Really cool chair! Looks like a lot of fun. I hope you get one.
AWESOME !!!! cool that u can stand-up too

It's so freaky lol. Must take a lot of time and practice to get comfortable on steep slopes !
I have cerebral palsy and I'm an adrenaline junkie. When I lived in Montana I used to ski and rock climb. I really want one

I want one! It beats the heck out of my crappy wheelchair.

Interesting. My state doesn’t allow tracked vehicles of any kind on asphalt roads, so I’m thinking that chair would be of limited use anywhere tracked vehicles are prohibited (they ruin asphalt).
I think their mostly used in off road situations but I'm not sure what the laws are here. I should check!
What about
Ruber tank?
yeah this one way different what Howe and Howe makes. one they make you roll your wheelchair inside tank wheelchair
Yeah that seems easier!
I need to know
How and how contact information.

That's what my friend's us them for!
No pun intended!
I was lucky enough to try one of these chairs man you truly feel unstoppable in it was amazing!!! but man they are expensive!
so friggin expensive. But so cool!
Your chair and the ActionTrack Chair looked to be similar in height, but that looked like a pretty tricky transfer!
Thank you God bless ❤❤
This is genius ! The only problem I can foresee is that the chair may be too wide for some built environments
Good luck I test drove one as well but definitely couldn’t afford one they can do so much off-road 👍👊
yeah I can't afford it either....yet!

pretty cool for sure!
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
thanks!
Everything was super!!
But I saw you was little afraid of the reverse gear😅☺️☺️
Great video
I really enjoyed it!
I was scared of the hill lol

i want one and im not even in a wheel chair...if i ever am wheelchair bound i want one so i can go zoom zoom zoom

Super cool Britney.. is eco carry them or new vendor in the city? And how much?
I don't think they are carried at Eco. I put a link in thr video description to find a distributor in your area. I believe they are around $20 000.
I want one for going hunting . How is one of these chairs
great adventure
it sure was!
That is so cool n impressive. Howmuch andhowI canget one. Im in the cook islands
It's definitely expensive. I think around $15 000. Just Google Action Track Chair and you should be able to find a dealer near you.
I’ve been able to spend about 30 minutes playing in an Action Track Chair on a step hillside. I loved it and would love to own one, but I just can’t get past the price.

@@EmpoweredPara 😂...of course all spinal cord injury people are special!!! I wrote more after you replied.
yeah going at an angle seems obvious now lol
@@EmpoweredPara glad you had fun...are you going to get one of those...a day at the beach sounds like a blast with one of those.
@@morgancalvi6675 I doubt it, at least not right away. I am currently trying to get an adaptive mountain bike instead!
Awesome!!!!!..............if they were even affordable.
Yeah price is definitely prohibitive.
I love that chair I would love to have one but I could never see myself getting one the price would more be more than what I could afford I am a double amputee I have no legs and I am 65 years
Can you do a weekly Grocery Haul?
absolutely!
I have an ST $14k + $3k in options I've used my chair 3Xs in 5 years I don't know which model you tested but my advice to anyone looking for an off road wheelchair DO NOT buy the ST it has 0 suspension 30min off road will have your back hurting for days and that's tackling obstacles and off road the right low speed. Works well on sand snow and mud hard surfaces are a nogo in my experience.
I have had my track chair for over 10 years now. About 8 months after my spinal cord injury, and I’ve taken it on trails with big tree roots on trail, also on very rocky trails, mud, snow and sand. Mine has zero suspension too and I’ve never had and sore back problems from using it.
thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind if I decide to buy one!
@Brian Murrock what level of injury? I'm a C6 Quad if your injury is higher you might not have as much sensation and if it's lower you probably have more mobility and control over your core so it's not just dead weight absorbing every bump. If I punch you in the stomach twice but 1 time you brace your core 1 you don't they will both hurt but not bracing your core will hurt more.
they need to get those approved for all wheel chair bound people through the government through medicaid and medicare and the VA...
They are
the front casters should be higher or removed. it's why I will never get a FWD power chair again. it stops me from going over bumps
yeah I think that's why I got stuck!
Hi Brit , girl your awesome I owe a Lot to you your info with video's ..about ones Care Thank You X's Ten .. Chair Kick's ass ::)) Love yeah p.s. Love and Admire your Honesty
Awe, I'm so glad you like my videos!
What a lady you are fantastic i get the impression you will try anything
nope I'm actually kinda wimpy lol.
i can just see a handicapped kid/teen modify one and go into one of those skateboard parks with it...
Price? Like $15,000
I love the chair, yet I know they are a little pricey? I need to get me an electric chair or scooter so I can get out of my house more often and even make a run to the local grocery store on my own. Who knows, I could even motor a mile or two to the neighborhood pond and do some fishing.😀😃😄😁
Yeah the price is pretty restrictive for most people. Which sucks.
You need a 30mm cannon I think that's available as an option.😆
Where can you get financing? Not everyone has good enough credit on disability to get one!!!!!! Financing would be great
Wish I knew of a financing option!
Ziesel Ground Squirrel Off-Road Wheelchair is better
Love your spirit. Add a gun to your chair, and you are a tank!!!
I can walk and I want one 😊
They are pretty cool! I know lots of able bodied people that use them!
