As a professional mechanical engineer, I am very impressed with the chair. I suspect it will serve our family well for many years. 😃. Another great video wifey!
I'm getting my fold and go soon and was doing research and your video makes me excited to be able to to spend time with my family again. so thank you for making this video!!!!!
Also, if you don't have another person to use as a referral, I'd love it if you would like to use my name! (Angie Hepp) That way I get a small credit to use on accessories, spare parts, etc. 😊 ❤️ Thank you!
I also have EDS and have just ordered my first power chair - it’s a Whill Model C and I couldn’t be more excited. It feels like the world is about to reopen to me. I’m already thinking about all the day trips I can take the kids on now!
How wonderful, Good for you!! I can tell your family is so excited to have you able to comfortably spend time doing the things you all love. God bless your family ❤
I’ve been searching the internet for something my mom can use and easy for me as well helping her . Being the only child is a lot. My biggest concern was the NYC sidewalks.. they’re horrible. Thanks for sharing especially the gravel/rock area. Now I need to find a way to get the money to get it . 🙏
Your video made me cry. Because with a bad back I’m unable to walk very far. I know how it feels to not be able to go many places. I’m praying that Our good Lord provide the funds so I can get one because right now I can’t afford it. But I’m believing!😊. God bless you and you’re beautiful family.
I hope you are able to get one, however God provides it for you. A friend encouraged me to start a fundraiser for it, and mine was completely paid for by donations! I'm so grateful. Maybe you can do the same thing?
What a beautiful video! I love your new chair! It makes me happy to see how easy it is to use and its ability to ride over bumpy and grassy land, so it won’t give you a hard time when you’re out with your family. So beautiful
Thank you and your husband for making this video. I’m glad you not only highlighted what it can do but demonstrated it. I’m looking to get one for my Mother as she has mobility issues.
I just bought one (thank you Stimulus) and am waiting to receive it and super excited! Thanks for the tip with the insulation. I’m also tall and am going to buy one for sure
I just bought one with my stimulus too! I’m super excited and can’t wait. Can finally be able to get out of the house and go places with the family! Look out world here I come!
Thank you for the review! I was just now looking into this chair when I came across your video on Google! Very helpful in my decision to possibly getting one later this year.
Ooh! Great idea with the padding at the top! I'm almost 6 ft. tall, so that's something that I would need to consider too. 💜 So cool watching you and your fam hanging out together!!
I just got a MagShock. It’s my second chair, and different from what I’m used to. I find the joystick programming to be kind of wonky compared to my first chair. The acceleration is VERY slow, which makes it difficult to use the elevator in my building. It also seems kind of touchy in a weird way. It’s made me nervous about using it. I want to get one of the joystick programmers when they’re back in stock. I know I just need to suck it up and use it to get used to it. I really miss the responsiveness of my first chair’s joystick. But there are so many things about the MagShock that are a vast improvement over my first chair. Thanks for the video! (From another zebra with a purple MagShock.)
Oh, that's a bummer! Have you contacted the company? I haven't had any issues with mine, so maybe you have a defective joystick, which can easily be replaced.
Amazing! I have EDS+POTS too, and my PT thinks it's time for a wheelchair. She recommended this model and it looks really good! The only thing is that I need to be able to get it into my car independently, and my arms are way too messed up to lift this (hence not being able to push myself.) Have you looked into hoists or lifts or anything?
I haven't, sorry. 😢 But I *think* I remember seeing one on the MagShock website. I still use mine and love it so much! We live in the mountains of Utah now, and I've taken it on snow, ice, slush, through woods, over rocks, and it's really amazing. It does have trouble sometimes, but it's incredible the places I've been able to go. I especially love the ability to go up a steeper grade than any other wheelchair.
Thank you for making this video. This helps very much. My son has Friedrich's ataxia and is in a wheelchair most of the time. We have been looking for a solution for him to travel off concrete paths. Are you still happy with this chair?
I have an all terrain ,fold and go wheelchair almost exactly like yours. It only weighs 50 lbs including the batteries. It's a wonderful machine but i'm not getting much use from it because it runs so fast . On the lowest speed setting it's still goes so fast i can barley control it. I turned it up to high speed one time and it leaps forward so fast it throws a person back against the seat ! I had a wheelchair mechanic look at it but he says there's no way to turn down the speed . He said i will have to just push the joystick very gently .I'm not very good at this.If you have any helpful tips i would be grateful. I'm very happy for your family to have a great chair.
Hmm, that sounds like a defect. Mine doesn't behave that way at all. It's very easy to control at the lowest speed. Maybe you accidentally got the Turbo racing model. ;) Just kidding. Seriously, though, I would let the company know. Maybe the controller needs to be calibrated.
This looks like a wonderful chair! I have used a manual wheelchair with a smart drive power assist. Sadly it died recently, and am hoping to get a new wheelchair. This one looks so great! I am kind of scared about how it manages downhill? Are there any manual brakes or does it go full speed down with no control? Thanks ahead of time! ✌️💗
It has electric brakes! It will only go as fast as you push the joystick. If you let go of the joystick in the middle of a hill, it will just sit there. 😊
Yeah, I was kind of frustrated to have to come up with a solution myself, and when I emailed the company to ask about a suggestion for padding it, or an accessory I could purchase, they weren't able to recommend anything that worked. Thankfully the solution my hubby came up with works like a charm and looks just like it was made for the chair!
@@AngelaHepp One more question. I tried to get an answer if the motors or CPU are made in China? The company told me the chairs are made in Texas, bit I could not get a definite answer on parts.
I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia, I've been getting by on my first electric wheelchair, a Radcity powerbike😂 however the ability to keep riding it won't last much longer so I'm looking at things like this and wonder how much performance I'll have to compromise, what is the top speed on this thing?
How much power/charge did it ship with? Mine will probably be delivered to a package hub 1/4 mile from where I live and I'll probably need to ride it home since I can't carry it.
I been looking for a good foldable wheelchair and I keep coming back to the Fold & Go I even choose the maroon when I get one. So far has it been pretty reliable? Have you had any problems? I have not been able to walk for a couple years.
Yes, it's been fantastic! I use it almost daily, and have taken it over very rough terrain, through deep grass, large gravel, rocks, sticks, in mud, up and down hills, and much more. It's never failed me yet. 😊
I live in an apartment and we have a ramp, can the chair make a sharp turn to get off the ramp and into the building? Not sure what the grade is, but it is fairly steep, do you go up ramps? How can we find out the grade? You did not show this in the video.
Hi Angie I found your channel through the food institute that had some information for making baby formula, I guess that Video was many years a go and I am not sure if you remembered. I would like to make the formula but still really nervous and I had some questions like did your little girl had any anemia? Pediatricians don't recommend feeding babies under a year old fresh milk and was just wondering your experience with making baby formula. Thank you.
Hi Diana! No, my daughter never had anemia and THRIVED on this homemade formula. Here are some testimonials from other parents who have used this formula with great success: www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/childrens-health/formula-homemade-baby-formula-testimonials/
I'm glad you're enjoying life with em again. I hope you make a full recovery and won't need a wheelchair again. Now obviously you know your conditions more than me but still I'm hoping for a true recovery. Keep fighting and staying healthy and safe 😎😎😎👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
What a beautiful site! Thank you for sharing. I am new to wheelchair\ scooters. Right now I have a scooter with a lift on my truck but this looks so awesome. And you can fly with it. I think. I am a large man but I see they have one that would work for me. Can I please ask you and your husband a question. Do you think it would be ok for me? I’ve been living a sheltered life even before Covid. But I want to come out of my shell. You and your family look so happy. Its beautiful.
I don't see why it wouldn't work for you! I still use it and love it to this day! I've used it in snow and slush and mud and on hills and rough terrain, and the only time it doesn't do well is with loose, small gravel or sand or super slick ice.
Not standard, but I believe you can add it on as an accessory. There are several accessories so you can customize it to your needs. Headrest, leg extention, cup holder, etc.

I just got my chair Friday mine is the same color Maroon
How exciting! Congratulations! I hope it provides you with much freedom and enjoyment. 😊

Thank you! It will take some time for me to gain some strength. I hope this summer will get me better and I can get out more
Love this company. I got the HD and am “scheming” to do an “upgrade” for Christmas...😜

You're most welcome! Yes, the padding is so helpful, and SO cheap! Thanks to my hubby for the idea!

All the details/specs are on their website, but it goes pretty fast. If I remember correctly, I think it's 15 mph.

What is your current optical Rx?
All my progress updates are in my Natural Vision Improvement playlist.
Hi, can you confirm the distance please? I believe I've read 16km Not 16 miles? Thank you XXG
Yes. This is what I want to be anle to do with my grand children.
This chair will enable you to do it! ❤️

Yes, the chair can turn within its own footprint and go up greater inclines than most other chairs. The exact specs are on the company website.
Hi there can you send a link where to buy one? Thanks. :)
It's in the video description. 😊
Thanks!

Awesome!!!
