Zinger crazy quick ultralight wheelchair

[Hesam0000]

It'll work better with a single lever for both wheels because when someone is holding a door open he can't push both levers and chair will turn halfway in.

[Rayo000008]

Looks really cool! I hope you soon make this available also in Europe (particularly in Spain), and at a reasonable price, as I can't afford but a common manual wheel chair..

[Cariad28]

It's brilliant! There is nothing like this in Australia!

[TheGreatTed]

WILL PAY CASH !!! this is what the wheelchair community needs.  Probably dumbass able bodies keeping from manuf.

[loveruleshate]

Let me know when it's ready.... will pay cash!!!

[Ba3dadBoy]

[jackesdmollay79930]

@JoelQ502 Please look harder becouse we need it

[jackesdmollay79930]

@JoelQ502 lots of us need this chair to come out keep me posted on your serch for other companyes to market this revolutionary invention

[duchessjewell]

Brillant I want one, my massive scooter is to big for a hilly town center. I will never ever buy one of them granny type scooters and I hate being pushed.

[KenMacMillan]

0:44 that guy needs a tow!

[jackesdmollay79930]

@JoelQ502 I dontr think there is a lot of companies beter equiped than invacare to handle the job, they just need to figure out hopw to make the most money from it and do tyhe APQP for production and oh yes the aproval of the FDA, so i gues the answer is "NOT ANY TYME SOON"

[jackesdmollay79930]

@JoelQ502 ok that is sad, but I hear that ivacare still has the rigght to market it, I have the number for one of their reps ithink Ill give hima call..

[jackesdmollay79930]

@JoelQ502 THANKS, BUT i KNOW THATN INVACARE HAS AQUIRED THE LINCENCE TO MARKET THE CHAIR. MY QUESTION IS DO YOU HAVE A TIME FRRAME THAT i COULD SPECTING TO SEE THE ZIGER?

[jackesdmollay79930]

insurance has approbed me for a power weelchair, this is exactly wath I need, can someone tell me how can i get this, Ive herd that invacare is going to sell this in the states ploeace help

[jackesdmollay79930]

is there a dat5e for when is going to be availavle in the US?

[SunandMarius]

I want a Zinger! I have an Invacare A4 with a 20 X 18 seat. I hope I can purchase this product when it arrives on the market. Do you know yet when we will know if my chair can accommodate it? Is there a weight limit? Price quote? Thanks. I'll keep looking for updates soon.

[jackesdmollay79930]

Ithink is made in virginia and ivacare will BE DOING THE DISTRIVUTION di in the USA

[daflip9000]

How fast does that thing go? What is its top speed? How long does the battery last?

[helenmci31]

I very much like your idea and would love such a wheelchair especially for holidays. Much better than my heavy battery operated chair although it is quite zippy but heavy.

Any thoughts for adaptions for those of us who can only use one hand.

Congratulations and best of luck with manufacturing.

[BobbyIronsights]

I just had an idea from looking at this chair, I'm going to make a gasoline skidsteer version.

[ions82]

THAT... is a piece of brilliant engineering. I sincerely hope that Invacare handles it properly. All too often to big corporations destroy such designs as they attempt to squeeze more profit margin. This invention is fantastic. It has the potential to benefit the lives of MANY people.

[blujose]

hello from portugal can i buy one

[TheHotWheelie]

I Have to get one of these! this is amazing!!!!

[vwtroy3]

i have made my own is anyone interested in a kit they can assembel at a fraction of the cost

[Optionryderfp]

@vwtroy3 do you have a video of it in action? how does it work?

[carmenyoli]

It's great this wheelchair, very practical. I hope that will soon be in the market.

[mrAndy45656]

I like it very much but need more cooler style

[RosanneGP]

Love the look of it and like others want to know when and how to get one. I don't have an ultralight chair -- but from what I see it looks like Invacare Top End is the one to get. Thanks Royce for insisting I make the time to look at this.

Rosanne

[777kru08]

wow i could really use this! as i am a c-5 quad and my power chair is very large and clunky :)

[dwall392]

Joel Ican't possibly tell you the problems we have just been trying to solve and this will do it! Please put me on the mailing list or info or whatever

[Optionryderfp]

Joel, any word on this product? I am beyond restless.....what is taking so long!!??? I have been following this and willing to write a check ever since the day i saw your first gas model video...that was 3 + years ago!!!!! Any updates Joel?

[maneater4u]

This is wonderful. Too bad a private company can't manufacture them and sell them. Invacare will hike the price tremendously as would any medical supply place. Speaking as a paraplegic of 25 years, the medical industry takes advantage of those in need for equipment. If you dont have insurance you are helpless. If you do have insurance often times they dont want to cover it. I would prefer to buy it outright from an independent company. Good luck! WIsh you well. I want one too.

[WBarts]

Um. When...! How does it drive the axles? He used the same Locking axles so how does it drive them? I want one for my quickie

[WBarts]

Oh I see.. Powered by rollers onto wheels.. May be slick in the wet, but who cares! Ship me one please!

[olivier281]

j'en veux un !! comment je fait pour avoir plus d'informations ??

[JoelQ502]

Merci!  I will have a friend translate your comment and write back then. Thanks friend.

[olivier281]

ohh scuse me ! i can talk in english too ..i translate = i want one !! how i can buy 1 ??? im paraplegic t'il 3 years and i like ur product ! please can u help me ...i have 4 child ..and i only have 31 years old ..with that i can go much anywhere ..

[wheelieblind]

I just have 2 question how many thousands will it cost, and why will health care cover it? :-) I think this is a great idea, and I know plenty of people who would like one, beats using gas powered scooter motor parts.

[jackesdmollay79930]

@JoelQ502 the quote "manubers like this will tip over a conventional chair" is that means that the ziger is stable?

[justincole2003]

my joystick power wheelchair isn't jerky when I drive or turn...that guy in the promo video just sucked at driving. U guys probably don't have a sponsor company to mass market it because u aren't advertising it as a good alternative to a manual chair user. Instead u make it sound like its an alternative to ALL wheelchairs while putting down joystick powerchairs...kinda silly

[Optionryderfp]

Any updates on this product? Someone needs to make something similar to this and ill buy it. Ive been waiting 3+ years for this. Im done.

[vwtroy3]

@Optionryderfp i got one in a kit

[425i]

having to drive it with 2 hands is a pain in the A

Are they going to release one with a conventional joystick?

Every time your mobile ringd you would have to stop

[sciotr]

Invacare/Top End has acquired the rights for the Zinger and are determining what modifications may need to done in order to begin production. I had a chance to briefly demo a prototype and thought it was awesome. Kudos to Joel and Royce for a very clever well-designed invention which can truly make the world more-accessible for manual wheelchair users.

[Optionryderfp]

How did you find this out? Where were you able to demo one!? Any news on release date?

[sciotr]

Product managers/engineers from Invacare / Top End who gave me permission to disclose they obtained the rights for the Zinger. They exhibited it at a recent event hosted for seating clinicians from around the country. I had a 5 min. demo of a prototype on a Crossfire. It exhibited the same performance depicted in the video. It may be several months away, but Invacare/Top End would like to know what changes potential end users would want to see in the production version.

[Optionryderfp]

I could provide a lot of really good feedback on the product for free. Any ideas of how I could get in contact with someone about that?

[paraaron]

give me power on my manual...game on. Great ivention. Hopfuly I will have my own promo vid in the near future. Have some ideas of my own!!Peace

[serendipidy38]

Will it be available in the UK

If so i want the first one please lol

Good luck cant wait to hear the progress

[missionron]

AWESOME, seems very well engeneered, with lightness a major priority. Ill want one, but HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH? for those of us without insurance, need to know. sir, you should get some major prize for this,it will change the lives of sooo many. comgradulations on your success!

[RaspScotty]

That is great news. Are you still seeking investors? Distributors / dealerships availability?

[mrweelz11079]

hey joel i am eagely waiting release pls

[Mokaffree1]

este video es excelente

[starsilverado]

Come on man update us we are waiting in line to buy this is it going to make it on the market? Keep up the good work!

[crownofmartyrs]

Has there been any progress on this product, or any news? thanks

[gerry1147]

can i have one

[kellycolwell]

This is AWESOME. I can see an enormous market for it as soon as it starts being mass-produced. It would make getting to class so much less stressful!!

[SantaCruzSoulSurfer]

What a killer concept!...You know, you really should think of making a beach going version as well. Will you be at the abilities expo in LA this year?

[lcon3]

I'm looking forward to having one of

these chairs when they come out.

[RaspScotty]

Joel.

I so look forward to hearing that this available. What a fantastic unit. Godspeed to you,

Scott

[bluejayart]

I hope you continue to push this through to the marketplace. What a wonderful invention! It would really have a positive impact on my mobility! Good luck and keep us posted!

[Optionryderfp]

When do you think this is going to be available? whats the estimated cost?

[bezerker99]

Wow! What an incredible product. You are so right about the Zinger taking away the focus of the person's disabilities and instead showing how easily and quickly they can maneuver around. Great video with many good points.

[smasica]

Would this fit a regular manual chair with the X-brace underneath? Or is it just designed for ultra-lights? I've always hesitated getting power chair in case something breaks down on it. I'd be dead in the water. With this, I could just tool around as normal in case of a malfunction.

[2345678r1]

This is the most exciting thing on the You Tube. Why does it get only a few comments and only 1058 views?

[wheelieblind]

Cool, just make sure ya keep the anti-tippers on the back of the wheelchair or you might just tip onver.

[2345678r1]

Incredible machine. How can I know that it fits my ultralight before I buy it.

[JoelQ502]

When made available, I would post a list of the few chairs it wont fit as well as max and min width dimensions. And, naturally, 30 day return policy. of course that depends on the company that markets it. Thanks for writing.

[JoelQ502]

If you read the "more info" you will see that this is not available yet. We are actively seeking to license it to a qualified manufacturer. Will let you know as soon as it is available. Thanks for your interest. - Joel

[maddave627]

ok thank you

[jsmilak]

Thanks Joel!

yes, please keep us posted.

Best regards,

Jasmin.

P.S. I hope that Zinger can fit on Quickie XTR and on Ti ZR wheelchairs.

[gamby58]

Count me in.

[jackesdmollay79930]
