I just got a rogue wheelchair. I used to have one of those basic hospital ones and I absolutely love my new wheelchair. It’s amazing it makes me so confident and I love being able to push myself now that it’s lighter.
Why have I not found you before? I too am in a wheelchair, but only for the past couple of years, so my wheelchair (who was christened Zippy) has only a few things. One upgrade I made to her was to purchase a back with adjustable lumbar support - game changer! I also had to change my tires to more robust ones as I live in a wee town in the Canadian Arctic, so I am on snow eight months of the year, with the rest of the year being dirt or mud, depending on the season. That cup holder is something that I have often bemoaned that I need, so a HUGE thank you for giving that info!!! I am a little confused about the scissor brakes, so I am going to research them more to see if they would benefit my situation. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Being independent is something that I always prided myself on, so this has been a rather hard pill to swallow. By learning from you and other members of the ‘wheels community’, I am confident that I can regain a modicum of my independence back. A lot of my family tells me not to be silly and they love helping - and to a lot of people, I must look silly - but for my soul, I NEED to regain some, even if it’s just a bit.
I’m so glad you found me! I too pride myself on my independence, so we have that in common. If you have any specific questions please feel free to reach out! I’m sure it’s all a huge adjustment and a lot to get used to. Sending you hugs!
Those cup holders are costly but if ya gotta style........... i use two 5 buck bycicle holders on each downarm. Look ok and didnt put me out much. The cost of wheelchair accesories are just to costly requireing many of us to adapt. Good video though.
You had me @ Hi. That cupholder is a Genius idea. Wish I thought of it BEFORE I spilt hundreds of Coffees & Beers lol. I just got a Trekinetic wheelchair, it's an ALL-Terrain chair & does exactly as it says. The only problem is, there is actually a single round tube in the frame to attach a cup holder. Think I may need to try to engineer something myself for the cup holder & the carry-all.
If you've not found something yet i'd have a look at the Quokka cup holder/bags, the holder attaches by tightening around the tube so shape of tube shouldn't matter
The very first thing you showed, the drinks holder! Amazing! Why on earth has it taken so long though, for someone to come up with the idea? And why didn't I think of that? LOL You have a new subscriber by the way! xx
My uncles girlfriend just got paralyzed from the waist down in a horse riding accident so now I'm binging these videos for things to gift/make her lmao
@@j0-si3 hahah thank you, but I feel like anyone would do it. I've started to crochet a bottleholder and a bag for her wheelchair, now that she's finally got her permanent chair (it's smaller and easier to measure). Oooh,and they got married!
@@marialouise3450 that’s so kind, my friends love to crochet little ducks and stuff maybe i’ll steal the idea and ask them to make me a bottle holder! congratulations to the both of them on the marriage and i wish them luck on their new journey together. i’m an ambulatory user who occasionally goes to school and bags (specifically backpacks) have become awkward and impossible, which i’m sure she knows, so a bag will be wonderful
I had a Rogue for 2 years. Within the first 4 months, the back adjustment broke, and I had to send it back to the factory. Once I got it back, the front castor would make a cracking noise. I went to fix it, thinking a bolt was coming loose, but no . The noise I was hearing, was the frame cracking above where the castor attaches. It eventually fell off completely, and I went back to Quickie.
Hi Danielle, I'm in the market to get a wheelchair and I've been watching everything I can to learn more about what I need. I've not yet heard all your videos so forgive me if you've already made a show discussing how to pick a chair. If you have not, I would like to learn the things you wish you'd known when buying your first chair. Thank you!
I use the solid foot plate but over my legs not being worked for awhile they only.go back so far so you can turn the foot plate around to stick out further in the front if have any problems like that.
That is one downside to my current chair which is powered. Due to way it built there is no space for under storage and no bars for cup holders etc! If you put them on arm rest just makes chair harder to use as makes it wider. 🤔
Hmmm... that’s a great point... there must be a solution! I would send FFORA a message and see if they have products made for power chairs. I’m sure they’d have a recommendation
I'm interested In the cup holder, I love my scissors brakes the under mount basket is interesting but the roho imo IS WAY OVERRATED on any non air cushion or even without one I have no balance issues, when testing a roho just relying to tie my shoes was nearly a death wish level activity
Don’t know if you or anyone will see this comment, your video just showed up tonight on my recommended; but I agree all those attachments can be helpful, but do you dissemble your wheelchair if you drive? I don’t know what level you are so if I’m being a “higher level injury” guy I apologize. But as a t6 that seems so many things to get off your chair to get off in order to get into your car. Nevertheless everything in this video is very helpful for anyone until the low t’s. If you’re lazy however I’d recommend a Java air cushion instead of that cushion, but if you have more effort the roku or however you say it is more efficient for pressures sores. Just my opinion
I have a question? Where did you get you wheelchair? I order a wheelchair from Lowe's website on 5-20-22, I haven't received my wheelchair on 5-31-22. I fell, and hurt my knee the rehab facility marked me leave, because I when to thier doctor, and he told me that will receive a wheelchair, and a walker, but the The director of care or something I don't remember her title told me that I was go out with his told to leave against many horrent lives and I can't walk my son I don't know what to do I can't really walk I'm in pain I can't really take a shower what can I do I need help I spent over a $137 on a wheelchair and I can't walk and I'm in severe I need help
Can you tell me where I could get a Roho cushion? My butt and spine hurt quite a bit. I have tried other cushions that do not provide a lot of relief. Thank you for the video!
I know this video is 3 yrs old but would you by any chance know of a different link/website or store the under the wheelchair bags would be sold at ? The link says error and I would love to try that bag out .
Looks like there are a few different styles on Amazon www.amazon.com/ULTECHNOVO-Stroller-Wheelchair-Seatrollator-Portable/dp/B0C9ZRDFKP/ref=mp_s_a_1_18?crid=3V2H0FL87GCE0&keywords=under+wheelchair+storage&qid=1692996549&sprefix=under+wheelchair+%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-18

Glad you enjoy it. Same feeling for me when i got mines last month. So much faster and weighs less then the hospitals
Scissor locks can be a bit of a pain to adjust sometimes, but they really do stay out of the way compared to regular push/pull locks.

For I dont know why but ive become very interested in disabilities that affect mobility and peoples daily lives. Great video by the way! ❤️
Thank you for your video. I need all the help I can get. Being disabled is new to me and searching the internet is helpful.
Thank you! The cupholder looks awesome! I'm new to my chair so I tried two different types but neither worked. I also never thought to place it there.
Those cup holders are costly but if ya gotta style........... i use two 5 buck bycicle holders on each downarm. Look ok and didnt put me out much. The cost of wheelchair accesories are just to costly requireing many of us to adapt. Good video though.
That’s a great alternative option!
Yeah, out of my price range as well. I got two stroller cup holders that are very nice looking for $12 for the pair. They are easy on, easy off.

Thanks for sharing my god daughter could absolutely love these ideas she's 11 and is becoming way more independent now🤗
Thank you so much for sharing these tips
I’m so glad you found them helpful! 😀
Thank You very much,for Your time,and tips.
The very first thing you showed, the drinks holder! Amazing! Why on earth has it taken so long though, for someone to come up with the idea? And why didn't I think of that? LOL You have a new subscriber by the way! xx
Love my Roho cushion. My newest one has the same valve on the front. I just recently got a Rogue chair.
Thank you for suggesting my videos have a blessed day
I just ordered this bag for my chair. Thank you so much for sharing and posting the link!
My uncles girlfriend just got paralyzed from the waist down in a horse riding accident so now I'm binging these videos for things to gift/make her lmao
I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope you find my videos helpful 💗
you are so sweet, i hope she loves/loved them! wishing your family the best 💖

Yes! I'm baffled at the lack of common sense with some folks. 🤯
I am for my new manual chair before fixing ffora attachments.
I had a Rogue for 2 years. Within the first 4 months, the back adjustment broke, and I had to send it back to the factory. Once I got it back, the front castor would make a cracking noise. I went to fix it, thinking a bolt was coming loose, but no . The noise I was hearing, was the frame cracking above where the castor attaches.

I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience 😕

So glad I found this video I have been looking for a good cup/bottle holder

How about a rachet for climbing up long slopes/ramps?
I use a power chair so most of these things don’t apply to me but I do have the same kind of cushion
How did you motorized you wellchair?. I'm still training. But I think is much better have some extra helpe. 🎉

IM IN WHEELCHAIR THANK YOU MY DEAR TATA aunti Berlina
Where do u get ur side rails? My chair was made with non on and it be a good feature to have so I’m not close to the wheels
My chair came with them on. I would check with the manufacturer of your wheelchair to see if it’s an option
C.
Can you replace push to lock with scissor breaks?
Yep! Most wheelchairs have that option
@@daniellability no, what I meant to ask was if a chair comes with a certain style of brakes, can you put a different kind on the chair?
