Having worked for 4 decades in physical disability rehabilitation, and this product is sorely needed for anyone requiring wheeled mobility. Good on ya!!!
I was so behind this project that I bought his $50 of *_Support Coins._* I am in a power scooter and want this project to succeed. The handicapped are forever being ripped off by the whole _health-don't-care_ industry.
As a wheelchair user the problem is the wheelchair has to be made to fit the person which is the main cost driver they have to be measured up and built specifically for that person. They are cheaper mass market wheelchairs but they often don't fit the user in terms of comfat, ease of use etc. Been made to fit the person makes a big difference for the end user. Looking at the chair on the website looks like there's a few problems no camber, fixed seat size, fixed leg angle but this is beta. Things I would change is to have the back folding mechsim higher up so you can fold it down and not have to remove the seat. Less things we have to do the better. Good luck on the project Jerry.
This was interesting. I wonder what parts on a wheelchair wear out that quickly and why aren't they made to be rebuild-able at a reasonable cost? I'd assume tires and seats are the main wear items.
My sister in law has daily epileptic seizures, I wonder if there is a bicycle for a person like that. Sort of a wheelchair that holds them in place and gives off a warning light when they get the seizure.
How do I get a wheelchair from him I am a wheelchair user and would love to try one of the new one they look so amazing and the medical industry is killing me with buying wheelchairs and I am having to buy them from Amazon
Interesting. I'd guessed, accessible in the US wouldn't really exist outside of some big cities. In Europe, you can reach _most_ places by bus (tram, train, ...) or on foot (wheelchair, bike...). In the US, you're pretty much stranded without a car. Even if you haven't got any disabilities... I don't mean you're wrong, but you have a different way of thinking in that regard.
Accessibility laws in the US apply to all public buildings, regardless of the city size. The small town (~10k) nearest me has cut down curbs, 36" wide entry doors, and ramps where needed. Restaurants and other building with public toilets are chair accessible. We do not have highly developed intercity public transportation to the extent one finds in parts of Europe but our buses, trains, and planes are handicapped usable and often one finds "taxi" type transportation for those who need something more than a regular vehicle. It's one of the places where our litigious tendencies work. Buildings and services out of compliance can, and do, get sued.
We are in Italy right now. Yes you can access public transportation. However, the tourist type building location locations such as castles in a lot of museums are very very difficult for a wheelchair to access
@@bobwallace9753 Sounds great, we could need more of that as well. I think accessibility should go hand in hand with a pedestrian focused infrastructure. Would be better and healthier for everyone.
@@gisobo Europe and Asia could use more accessibility for those who are not ambulatory. As could the parts of South America and Africa that I've visited. Most European and Asia cities grew up while people walked and used animals for transportation/burdens. Most US cities grew up when cars were common. To make US cities work like European cities it would require massive infrastructural changes. The answer in the US will almost certainly be robotaxis. Not pushing the population to walk or bike long distances.
These days to find someone's help is a real miracle for those whom cannot help themselves.God bless !
Good to see Munro Podcast branching out. Zack is a great guy; good luck on his wheelchair business.

Great project. Wishing you the best success.
Ç-6 quad for 30years. Very active. Can't wait to see your chairs. I'm also registered for human trials for neuralink. Keep up the great work Zack!
Thank you!

I hope to see a one day on RUclips Munro helping Zack with mass manufacturing like the car company's.
Love this. Engineering Collaboration for a better product.

CONGRATS GOOD LUCK!

Make sure there is enough profit for long tern existence. There might be government assistance in the future!?!?!
I really dislike teasers and or sneak peek’s for podcasts.
This is an excerpt...
@@jamesengland7461 "In this sneak peek of our upcoming episode, Zack Nelson (JerryRigEverything)........."
@@Zladcore but did you listen to it? It is informative and gives context so you know whether you want to listen to the whole thing when released.
