Finally the best invention in 2020
I love hearing about the little girl saying “This was the best day of my life!” That’s so truly amazing. God bless you for all your doing for disabled people.
That looks like a blast and a humble dude at that the heart of that machine. Nice 👍🏽
Finally a breath from all bad news. Hope and more hope.
Awesome story. It gives everyone like myself who has a disability hope and continued to keep on living life as best as you can👍🏾✊🏾
This is an incredible creation! I've gotta build something like this for my little sister. She has cerebral palsy and I've always felt bad and guilty when I'd do things that my sister can't do. We live in a rural area that still has dirt roads in a majority of the areas. She has a power chair but I think something like this would open the world up more for her.
God this video made me cry of joy of the possibilities that my sister can join in off beaten paths that her power chair simply can't do. Thank you so much for this video. I'm so excited to show this to my little sister.
This is wonderful and highly beneficial for disabled people, just be safe
We prefer the term “people with disabilities” rather than “disabled people” because person first language reminds others we are human first.
Cmon really That's what we complaining about? Thia is a dope idea.
@Maxwell Turek I am disabled, I don't mind.
Take care, and all the best.
"We?" Speaking for everyone huh?
Got it. You're not defined by your disability.
I’m a 41 year old disabled former production supervisor! I miss my Rockie Mountains!
This is what I need!!! I’ve been trapped in a musculoskeletal instability nightmare that nobody knows how to stabilize…I went from being an ICU nurse and enrolled in a doctorate nurse anesthesia program; and practicing Gracie Jiujitsu after my 12-14hr nonstop shifts to balance my mind and shed the daily stress of taking care of very sick patients; on top of the world skiing; mountain biking; ice skating; skydiving; rebuilding my first car into the ‘68 289 v8 mustang it used to be; hiking; swimming; P90x.. I think you get the point- I went from this to being trapped in this body that makes any activity extremely challenging and difficult to tolerate, usually causing excruciating pain from my already constant severe pain..
Here’s the thing.. it’s very painful for me to walk without support- but if I can support/brace myself in a way that allows stability, I can do some things, sometimes..
It’s impossible to find equipment made for young and active disabled thrill seekers.. even a rollator walker that can hold up to the way I need to use it- putting a lot of weight on my arms to take pressure off the unstable spine.
When I do find something that may work for me or be helpful in allowing me to exercise, it’s cost prohibitive.. on total disability doesn’t give u a lot to work with.
I want to know more about your creations and maybe hold on to this hope I suddenly feel from watching this video ! ❤
I love it when people with disabilities aren’t disabled by their disability.🤙🤟✌️
This is amazing. I wish I could afford one of these bikes. I used to be very passionate about cycling. Now I have severe peripheral neuropathy due to a botched surgery and diabetes. It would give me a whole new dimension in my life
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Very cool and proud this dude is from my province of Alberta!
My mom has an electric tricycle, it’s really good.
As a woman with CP, that looks awesome! Well done, sir!
I rotated two lumbar, and my knees get sore , I’m near sixty, and want to spend the summers outside. I’m hoping to design a mode to get around cheap and easy. With enjoyment! 🎉I love ❤️ your design right away.
You're the man dude, love ya.
Fantastic!!You are a genius with a biiig heart. Wish you the best and lots of success!
Wish I could afford this. The problem isn't just disability that limits your life it's what equipment you can afford to mitigate the disability.
Set up a GoFundMe, I'll donate.
How I wished someone did this in Malaysia. I am a 53 year old double amputee
I just can't help myself from commenting that this is awesome. I would never be able to forgive myself if I didn't. AWESOME!!!
I wonder if he and Jerryrig everything might collab to make at 2.0 version
I would love to have one! Made just for me to finally get out and
PLAY!!! ( senior)
BRO THAT LOOKS DOPE
Some beautiful news. This brightened my mood
Great work and engineering🤙🤙🤙❤️
We need more news like this then political ones.
It's good for more people to enjoy fun. I'd be wary of a few MTB nitpickers who will argue this isn't allowed because there is no pedaling...
This is a cool story.👍
Jason Momoa would love this.
Legend 🤙🏻
Amazing 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I'm not disabled but I like to buy one just to have fun on it. The only thing I would add is range and speed
Too expensive for someone on disability. Very cool. 20+ for one. Cool
15,000 to 20,000 Jesus Christ that's prohibitive
Wow
These guys make an ugly situation in the lift lines... don't get me wrong, we respect you guys, you guys gotta respect us!
that looks sooo fun i want one 😯😂
Inspirational. What will I do with my life today? I'd better make it count, that's for sure.
I'd definitely like 1 of thosé but being on a fixed in come it's have to save I SSI
I'm jelly as I am one of those short people can't ride tall adventure and offroad bikes.
What? MTBs come in all sizes
@@yaboi3702 I meant motorcycles sry
Can you ride it on beaches
I think 15k to 20k is out of reach for most. But if you don't drive and you look at it as a cheap car, I guess maybe? Still, whole lotta cash to drop. But the idea is amazing. Bikes are out for me due to RA. So it's an attractive idea. But wow.
Now...that's COOL!!!!! You know this can sell to everyone... I want one.🤔 This is amazing, I hope you made it affordable..... or you're not nice.
Let's hope so....It would help families with disabilities do something fun together and teach us something as well. Just don't turn this into a weapon....I hate it when we get innovation and they use it for evil.
What an excellent idea. My only concern is that it looks like it's petrol (gasoline) powered and not electric. If so the idea needs work to bring it into th i s decade .
A quick trip to his website reveals that it's all electric. No worries.
@@dawn3737 didn't do that but thanks for the update 🍻
👏👍🤙
He is my science teachers brother in law
🧐
Dood I wanna do that and I’m not disabled
Ok seriously no disrespect but I may be the first abled body person to legit be jealous lol 🤙🏾
