What if the new Phoenix i smart wheelchair breaks?
Excellent video but the audio gave me some difficulties at times.
How is a wheelchair so expensive? I don't understand it how a bent piece of pipe with wheels is more expensive than a 100cc motorcycle
-weight -production quantity -reliability
Laughs in european (1000 bucks for a wheelchair is not cheap... Like... at all...)
USA is so fucked up for such prices. I'm so happy I'm not living there.
Can someone explain to me what custom means in this context? Given there’s talk of adjusting it i assume it can’t mean that it’s made to the measure of the user. I have had to buy a few wheelchairs now, though none for long term daily use, and the most expensive models here were around €500 without insurance coverage and in direct supply. Is this just what American life is like or is a custom wheelchair something entirely different?
This looks nice. I wish we could get something like this that is super light weight for a lady to lift for her husband.
Nice to see other quads getting out there and having some 4 wheeler fun!
Very neat. Given the price of bicycles and the amount of material they use, it seems possible to make a wheelchair for $500 and still be sustainable, yeah? Glad to see fhe needle is moving in the right direction
$1000 for a decent manual wheelchair is pretty Awesome.. I mean I have 2 chairs, one by Invacare and one by TiLite each chair was $6k+!
Thanks for the video! It was very interesting.
🤘🤘
I've flown a dozen or more times. Yes, it sucks if your chair gets broken....but even worse is when it didn't make it onto the 2nd plane after a quick layover!!
How much does this chair weigh??
As someone not in a wheelchair it's very interesting and informative hearing the personal likes & dislikes of Zack & Cambry's product from someone who is the target demographic. Great video!
How is 999 cheap? I always see them left outside at hospitals without any supervision lol....
not good ones that are light and useable. Trump supporters arent known for their cognitive abilitys, huh?
That's awesome! I never felt like I had enough dexterity or strength to press them together. I should try. I've been playing with Ravensburger GraviTrax. The pieces are a little bigger. Same type of creativity.
Nice review, and from a Quad too!
It's great to see Lego bring joy to everyone regardless of age :)
Although i am glad they can make wheelchairs fast and cheaper but you know some how, some way the health insurance is going to find some way of messing this up for them. I hope not, But they will. Because this is going to cut into their profits big time. I've seen wheelchairs here lately costing from $1,700 to $6,700 dollars. And some guy's video here on youtube said his chair cost $10,400 and his chair was a lite weight wheelchair. None electric too!! Even in his video he said it was hard to believe a wheelchair could cost that much. But i will say this to the people at Notawheelchair company. When you make your wheelchairs keep in mind the heavy users that is going to want one of your chairs. 300 lbs + (maybe). Because i was looking for a wheelchair not to long ago and even though i don't weigh 300 lbs praise the Lord but i only seen 3 chairs on the market that goes up that high far as weight limits go. Quickie doesn't even have a model that can support that much weight. If they do they just made one. Anyway, please keep that in mind guys. Also, keep this in mind guys, The more features you ask for the higher its going to make your wheelchair cost. I don't care who you order it from. The guy in the video must have ordered the basic of the basic to have his wheelchair cost $1,000 or less. If you order a feature or 2, you will be looking at a wheelchair that will run you around $1,400 ish.
$1000 you can buy it yourself. Fuck the insurance company.
amazing facility, he let me check it out earlier this year, awesome dude, and I'm glad they are holding up to thier durability
I guess being wheelchair dependent in the US is just way to expensive. RIP to yall across the pond
Phenomenal video. Let me know where I can ship you a decent mic.
$1,000 for a charity wheelchair is an absolute f****** scam
I think I see my next chair. I was given a crappy Hospital Chair after my injury and I have used it for the last year. Lafe has been a nightmare in this chair. won't be sad to see it go and have a good chair that is made for me
same!
After having to fight with insurance just to get a basic wheelchair that didn't fit, then to save up to get a custom chair, only to have that stolen and now my insurance is dragging its feet on replacing it. I can easily save up and get one of these and be mobile again. In America, it totally sucks for wheelchair users to find good quality and affordable chairs to make life a little easier. I am getting one of these chairs.
stealing a wheelchair... how can ppl be so evil at time ?
Now he's gotta get back up that hill to get the camera at the end😅
Can you add bars to push it? I can push a manual wheelchair for a short time and have mom,dad or siblings push me in my wheelchair when I get to tired.
no, it's a self propeller for active folk
I had the same question and I found some removable push handles from somewhere else online that look like they could clamp right onto those backrest tubes
😂😂😂 Phone repair? I know who didn't watch any of Zack videos so he doesn't know
The fact that a $1k wheelchair is considered "cheap" is insane to me, something something capitalist dystopia I guess
Holly shit impressive website… idk if they’ll ever be profitable enough if they keep spending like that. It’s one thing to do have goodwill but it also needs to be sustainable so it can be brought to more people. I hope it is… as I have no way of knowing but it is inspiring.
Jerry does this out of compassion and has no interest of ever making the brand profitable. they are given out at cost and he often sells collectors coins which help further reduce prices.
It has no handles? How can people push you around if there are no handles? 🤔
This isn't a health provider push wheel chair. It's a self mobility for people who are active
Wheel chairs are not free in the USA? What a nice health care.
As if your taxes aren't inflated to pay for you "free healthcare" - everyone has to pay Big Pharma 😉
It's absolutely criminal what current wheelchair companies charge because of health insurance.
In Brasil you can get a GREAT wheelchair for 400 dollars. There's something so strange when dealing with anything "health" relate in America...Prices are insane.
$400 is still a lot of money but at least that's cheaper than a decent office chair I guess heh
You can’t compare that exactly. Both countries have different cost of living which impacts prices. Trust me, I live in Switzerland and pay for everything thing much more than other countries. Just because cost of labour, warehouse, store etc is higher. And of course because companies like to milk us for profit. But it’s not just that.
@@odeode4338 I know it's not one to one. But the gap is just too damn large.
@@Sasasala386 you can’t say that without looking at the overall picture.
@odeode4338 no amount of justification. It's just pure greed and taking advantage of those in need. I'm American, so I can definitely say that with fact. Other products get manufactured and stored and priced accordingly, but as soon as you throw in the term medical everything gets hiked up without a quality improvement
thanks for the review, let me review your review: solid research and valid points. solid camera work and editing. with that said, *the audio absolutely sucks* and if you plan on uploading any more videos then i highly suggest either invest in a mic or voiceover the entire thing while recording in a closed room with good acoustics. view and listen to the video before posting. its truly annoying. thanks again for the review and hope you have a great weekend :)
Yeah it's not that this wheelchair is cheap it's just that most other wheelchairs are ridiculously expensive. Take medical device out of it and $1,000 is just about what I would expect something like that to cost food
As a Norwegian (growing up with a grandfather with an amputated leg in the 1970s (wars, you understand) and with a friend who broke her back in a hang gliding accident another friend who went driving as a kid, another friend born with ME etc.) I honestly thought this was a parody. America is now pushing "cheap wheelchairs" as a "for-profit idea" on the internet. The gulf of stupidity is "palatable". "for profit"
Welcome to capitalism ...
That’s cheap for a wheelchair!. Wow how much do they usually cost over there? Sounds like they are way more expensive than in the U.K
The cheapest bottom end rigid wheelchair i could get was a little over double this and that is with no "add ons" like lighter wheels, scissor brakes, and rigid backrest that come as standard on this chair.
@ there’s something seriously wrong with that. Is there help available for people to get the chairs?
@@pauljakeman kinda. If you meet insurance qualifications for a wheelchair, you may get all/most paid for. But one every 5 years, and you get what they give you. Often you're responsible for 10-20% of the cost. And that's IF insurance covers it at all - mine won't bc my home isn't accessible.
@ that’s awful. I’m really sorry about that 😢
What I hate is no one makes these chairs for the big boys,I used to be fine with a 17x18, then a 20x21, but now I’ve been bed ridden for 6 yrs and I’m just now again training to get around while weighing almost 400lbs ,and I’d love to see a 24x24 or larger light weight chair be made, as it’s not that hard to just increase the size of everything by 2-5 inches because tires and the spindles won’t change just the basic frame so why is it just such a huge deal to make a lighter weight big chair if they can make bigger heavy weight chairs for us fat legged dudes :) pls 😂
Yeah I always thought that wheelchairs were way over priced I know I can’t live without one, but I just never saw them costing 6-15k for push chairs and up to 45k for electric chairs then they sell used like new for 1500 bucks and 300 bucks for pushing chairs..even the expensive chair companies claimed not to be making money so lol !!!! Even at a grand you can make plenty of cash if you sell a lot and are able to produce them yourself or over seas.. With a decent jig you can bend and weld the frames very easily! But it’s the insurance BS that jacks the price up too..plus the cost I’ve heard of government testing but not sure about that being true because it’s not like your crashing a new car at speed !!!
Welcome to capitalism! Profits over People!
I don’t know anything about wheelchairs but I see them all the time at goodwill for like $50. Maybe is the wrong kind of wheelchair
Probably a folding wheelchair meant for a caregiver to push, not a self propelled (hands on the wheels) wheelchair for someone who is in it and using it every day, all day.
yeah probably a cheap foldable one. a temporary portable one. not an active one meant for daily use.
when youtubers have to do the work of the government
excellent weird but the audio is really weird
Were you in the US & your microphone in Switzerland?
He lets his liberal hate dominate his mind but at the core he is a good man and I respect Zack.
1. GoPro audio? Makes it hard to watch. 2. What about the wheelchairs Walmart sells for 150-300 dollars? (My neighbor uses one and he says it's fine.) I honestly have no idea.
The cheap wheelchairs are mostly OK to wheel your granny around the zoo in but not great if you need to use one all day every day on your own. It's really difficult to say something general about the wheelchair needs of people as those are highly individual, but a good wheelchair generally has a huge impact on the abilities of people.
Its sad people have to pay 1000s of dollars for this i say this because a bicycle at Walmart is 100 dollars same concept same amount of materials used yet higher prices for handicap to get around ❤
A walmart bike is heavy and the materials would never hold up wo all-day every-day use like a wheelchair for something like this needs. A wheelchair for someone bascically living in one has to last better, be lightweight, and have a range of adjustment. I guarantee that wheelchair in the video is half the weight of that walmart bike.
handicap💀
That’s CHEAP? Goodness that is unbelievable Everything medical just gets an insane markup it seems
True, in part the price is driven up because of the liability connected to selling medical devices, but the biggest part of the price often indeed seems to be based in greed.
@@FoobarDesign Welcome to capitalism - profits over people! Heh
I shit you not. I can probably get the same-spec wheelchair in my country for 250€. And they want 1K from it? I enjoy watching JRE but the price is abit steep for any wheelchair consumer. 1k for some aluminium-based 1 seater? If it was fully carbon then i would understand.
Aluminum costs more than carbon lmao
@@3nertia i guess u dont know how much 1 meter of pure carbon and kevlar cost?
@@N.n.i.k Ah, the irony! Carbon fiber is basically dirt cheap nowadays and "Kevlar" is a brand name that is replicated by many other companies these days lmfao Tell me you've never tried to price a prototype without actually having to tell me ... 🙃
@@3nertia it's not dirt cheap. it's quite expensive
@@N.n.i.k Thanks for proving that you've never priced it in bulk ... Economies of scale play a huge role and I don't think you realize that ...
👌
