Fascinating to watch this whole measurement process and the conversation involved in ordering a new chair. I saw on a screen that you were getting the Octane and went and looked at it on the website. The way the folding model folds is cool, I can see how that would fit in an overhead. or easily in a trunk. Thank you for sharing this, and your cool personality. Looking forward to your picking up video.
Oh!! I guess I can delete my Instagram comment that I’d love a RUclips video about this haha! Mind reader, Annika? This is gonna help me so much! Thank you!! The RGK seems like a great choice :)
I hope you get your RGK Octane soon :)) I have a Sopur Hybrid FF (European Quickie) it weighs 28lbs empty. It developed after 7 years of use with basically no issues a dying Caster Fork on the right hand side. I am way heavier than you and I live in South America where the streets even within a cities are abysmal. The replacement Forks are ordered and paid in Full and my new Wheelchair will be delivered before I arrive :))
Annika, I just realised a video I would love to see. Zack (JerryRigEverything) is moving their custom wheelchair factory "NotAWheelchair" to a new and bigger building, and they are getting a lot of new cool machines. The NotAWheelchair website is focused on their off-road solution, but they are also moving into regular custom wheelchairs and focus on making them more affordable (I know cost isn't much of a factor for you because of your military service, but it is of course important for many people). I would love a collab where Zack shows you around in their factory and chatting with you. Even though his channel is much bigger, I think it will be ok to reach out to him. He is a very nice guy, and his wife is a full time wheelchair user. They live in American Fork in Utah. I am not sure exactly where you live now, but a google search came up with Midvale in Utah? If that is correct, you are almost neighbours 😀. Anyway, I think you would enjoy meeting both Zack and his wife Cambry. and see the factory, and I for one would love to see the video.
I am not sure if you are familiar with JerryRigEverything, but here is a video from just after he met his now wife Cambry, and showing her the bicycle/wheelchair he made for her: ruclips.net/video/H3_mVryqXpU/видео.html. It was later on developed further and became the foundation for their NorAWheelchair company.
I'm just a bit jealous. I have a custom chair but it's a big, heavy, clunky - with armrests - old school thing. I don't really use it enough to tell them I need a lightweight fancy chair. Oh well.
European Tyre and Rim Technical Organisation (ERTRO) / not a serial but a standardized Tyre measuerment (25-540) if you need new tubes look for Schwalbe SCHWALBE TUBE ITEM 9A (24") 25-540
Very true Annika I have a custom wheel chair made to conure my body and my height. Losing both legs. I will always have a chair. even though I can use prosthetics people don't think I need a chair. BUT Just let me tell all the NONE Amputee's a wheel chair comes In very handy at night when you need to use the bathroom or when your legs are swollen and the prosthetics don't fit well.
Had my custom fitting with the VA for my Ki Mobility Rogue and it feels so bad I switch back to my $200 Amazon special at home. I'm a little sad they got it so wrong.
Well done! Glad to see you are back ! And thank you for sharing!🎉
Very helpful. Thank you.
Good video, Annika. Continue on your journey on getting the silver play button

Hope to see your new chair soon!!!

Check out the Kueschall Champion Folding should you need one for travelling. No other folds that compact.
