  • You should check out the new marvel wheelchair (google it to find the link)

    Jeff and Christian are guys that do awesome stuff with their chairs and now they've developed a chair that is adjustable and strong, borrowing techniques used to build racing bikes

  • ive tried that marvel chair, its alright but it takes ALOT of ajustment to try it out for each person. Someone with bigger feet needs the larger casters on it and I also find its tippy. To buy one and get all the ajustments made its a good chair I guess but it also has a good size price tag too it

  • Yeah, I understand the price tag is rather prohibitive. I heard numbers around $8000.

  • I know all about it, thanks.

  • Hi! I am handicapped as well...

    I don't have any strength in my hips but i do have okay strength in my hands. Does getting in and out of car need any hip strength? Could you give me some more information on car transfer boards? Also did you make any modifications to your car? (like height adjustments to fit your wheelchair height)

    Thanks!

  • No, you don't need any hip strength at all to do that transfer. I'm a T7 complete so I don't have any strength below the sternum. You could certainly use a transfer board, I used one initially. There is no height modifications to the car.

  • you are special.I love you

  • Eu admiro vc e sua disponibilidade em demonstrar à outras pessoas como aprender a fazer tudo de maneira menos complicada, quando possível claro! Parabéns!

  • The chair is a quickie titanium. The wheels on the video were spinergy with natural fit handrails and foam tires. My newer set-up is sun component Fusion 16 wheels with schwalbe marathon tires and regular handrails for a much lighter overall wheel.

  • I just leave board in the car but it is a problem if I want to use taxis etc...
