I test drove a Rehasense PAWS Tourer last year. Lots of fun! It goes up to 32KM/hr plus there’s cruise control and a walk mode. There’s a cool RUclips video showing how it tackles winter snow in Scandinavia. If you think the Smoov goes fast that one and the larger Batechs will blow your mind! 🎉 I use a wheelchair mainly for dysautonomia, having my hands at or above my heart isn’t a good idea on flare days/times. So when I get to needing power assist it will be a SmartDrive. It’s one of two power assist options covered here in Ontario Canada. I like that it’s hardwired now. Too many issues with Bluetooth. The other is a locally made tiny handbike (basically a Batech knockoff). I found that way too fussy and painful to operate with nerve pain. But some people like it. Love your energy. Just discovered your channel and subbed. 😊
Have you tried a Smartdrive, too? That's what I have and love it. And price is ridiculous. it's so expensive to be crippled. They really don't share that with you after injury (34 years post here). Thanks for the video.
No, I haven't tried the smart drive yet. When I had the opportunity, I picked the Smoov because it looked better. When I tried it, I liked it so much I never tried the smart drive. The price things cost can be very expensive, and you are right they do not share that with you at all.
@@hotwheels1112 I use an apple watch now and it rarely cuts out like the Pushtracker does. That's not to say it's not without its flaws, though. Occasionally, it doesn't respond to shutting off on first attempt and sometimes it doesn't match the speed tap. But to answer your question, the Pushtracker is notorious for cutting out, and mine did as well.
@@Crappler1989 yes I have the tic watch e2 now and I think I will just have to get used to it cutting out, it happens in quite dangerous situations sometimes though which isn't great
I've had my Smoov for almost 4 years now. The custom mode is where you can set everything the way you want it. You can set the torque, acceleration, speed etc. I only use my own custom profile and have everything at max. I've clocked mine at 12 mph. And I live in Norway so it's free for us 😊
This is so helpful, thank you. It's so useful to see it used outside of an ad! I'm worried about the app because sometimes apps stop updating without warning, which could be such a disaster.
For $7000, that thing should be a complete conversion kit with two 300 watt non swivel motors. A joystick for remote steering control, and be able to take you straight up that hill without your assistance.
@@LorraineIwakashdan "That would be the Alber e-fix. Already exists. This is for people who still want excercise." Something already existing is irrelevant. Competition lowers the price. People still wanting exercise is irrelevant. Just because an attachment can take you up the hill, does not mean you have to use the full power of it. It does however, mean that should you need that full power, it is there. There was at one point a e-conversion kit for around $2400. You simply swap the back wheels out and mount the joy stick, the controller and the battery. Currently, there is an electric wheel chair for $1500 listed on Amazon. I found listed on Amazon, a 6" 300 watt motor for $49, so two is $98. What I stated about the $7000 price of this product, what you so conveniently chose to ignore, remains valid and is not canceled by your poor attempt to divert the subject off topic and where it properly should be focused. The cost of this product is excessive and it can not do what a lower cost device, or a DIY device built at a lower cost, would be capable of doing.
I just got the smoov device and it looks like you also have the same issue I have when the chair starts going it don’t really want to go straight it will either go left or right
I am considering to buy this device, having tried the smartdrive before and hated it. I am hoping it will be better. The price is so crazy though. I wonder how durable is the wheel? How much is a wheel replacement?
I got my Smoov last year when I got my new manual chair. It was covered by Medicare. Do you find it aggravating. when using it inside, that the wheel must be straight before you can move the wheelchair?
Some smart companies have a friend contribution function. Like springing for lunch or buying a friend a beer. Friends have to know it’s there is all. Sell your used stuff to would-be mechanics on Craig’s or some other. Waiting around for what’s covered by insurance is old. A robo vac does more than chairs, it docks itself and vacuums under the bed. Wheelchairs should check to see if you locked the front door, and bring you a beer while you’re up.
In puddles I haven’t had a problem and I haven’t tested it out in the snow. The battery for the Unit last a few days depending on how I’m using it. The remote nob last a while.
$7000 dollars??? For 7grand you can buy yourself a complete electric wheelchair or better yet you can just get yourself a car. The device is great but for $7000 dollars, the creator or the person who owns the patent didnt really have the people who can use the help from a device like this in mind. For 7000 they ain't trying to help out at all. That's a damn shame. It probably doesn't even cost half of 7grand to make this thing
Please quit complaining about the added cost of the extra programs! At least you do do not have to buy a bloody Apple watch to run the device, as one does with the Smart Drive.
That’s no longer the case. It comes with a choice of SpeedControl dial or switch by default. Bluetooth is no longer recommended as the primary operating choice.
The price is ridiculous! A power chair is that price….why would anyone want to spend that kind of money on a add on for a manual wheel chair? My power chair reclines and has other features.
Because most manual chair users have no desire to have a power chair and all the restrictions that come with it. Add to that, the reduction in fitness by not using a manual. You should only use a power chair if you can't practically use a manual. 46 years post accident and still using a manual all the time.
These are great for those that travel. Can hop on a flight to Milan or Paris and this and s manual chair fit easily in small rental cars. With a power chair you cannot easily rent a rental van with lift to get a power chair around!
- inaccessible property - no WAV - loss of strength & mobility - lack of access to places that can be accessed in a manual & cannot in a powerchair - no space to store an additional aid need any more?
I think a big part of your shoulder problems is the way your wheelchair is adjusted, you sit way high (lack of dump) over the wheels and way in front of the axle(center of gravity) it’s way less efficient my brother 👊 Ps I’d trade my shitty smartdrive for a smoov any day!

It should be noted that a lot of these devices can be approved by insurance, so it's definitely worth exploring that route.

Do your have issues with pushtracker cutting out? Im on my second type and still having problems
I mean the pushtracker with the smartdrive

Wait what how? Im moving in the next year and id love to know more about the process
i would look into a smartdrive mx2 pretty much the same but i think a lil better, especially on the grass i have one and love it
In Australia, all the app features are free with the purchase of your Smoove.
This is so helpful, thank you. It's so useful to see it used outside of an ad! I'm worried about the app because sometimes apps stop updating without warning, which could be such a disaster.
I have a Firefly by Rio Mobility its more of a bike attachment of sorts but it ZOOMS!! I love that thing.
I want one of those

That would be the Alber e-fix. Already exists. This is for people who still want excercise.

I would of like to of seen you going over little bumps or sidewalk cracks I’ve tried it and dumped over twice

I have a smoov and think its a liability issue since the performance adds speed. Any suggestions you have for going up hill easier?
I’m so blessed to live in Australia! ❤
I just had mine approved by NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme)
$14k AU
Very informative video mate! 🇦🇺
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie!, Oi! Oi! Oi! The NDIS are taking a hammering off me! Thank you very much for bring this device to my attention.
@@tonybuhagiar6990 My absolute pleasure mate!
Cheers! 🇦🇺
I got my Smoov last year when I got my new manual chair. It was covered by Medicare. Do you find it aggravating. when using it inside, that the wheel must be straight before you can move the wheelchair?
thanks for the info bro !
Question- Does the dial come off the wheelchair when not in use?
It does! It has a bracket that stays on your chair & the dial pops on & off as needed
app is free man down under and it should be there ?
Good divise but I will die before I can afford it
I got my wheelchair assist smart drive through my medical insurance or else I wouldn’t be able to afford it to you should look into that yourself
i got one of these as well i like it
Will the VA purchase or provide this item to a veteran that qualifies for it?
Yes that’s how I was able to get it.
@@WheelchairKev thanks for the reply. I will pass on this information to my veterans friends. Thanks for sharing this video!
I'm in the wheelchair I'm not a veteran though but the first time my applied for it I would deny that I did it again and I got it hopefully that helps
Some smart companies have a friend contribution function.

I have the same one but they have à new thing coming here soon this is older but good for what's it's for
where can I see or find info on this new thing you speak of ?
I have that but my remote bracket fell off
How do you like it and did you contact the company?
@kevinandkassy I love it. My wheelchair guy is supposed to be working on it for me.
What will be the cost for this, I am from india
How long does battery last and does puddles or light snow change how it preforms.
In puddles I haven’t had a problem and I haven’t tested it out in the snow. The battery for the Unit last a few days depending on how I’m using it. The remote nob last a while.
7k why not just buy a powered wheel chair for 4-5k ?
I was trying to guess what this would cost and was way off when I Googled it.
What was your initial guess?
$7000 dollars??? For 7grand you can buy yourself a complete electric wheelchair or better yet you can just get yourself a car. The device is great but for $7000 dollars, the creator or the person who owns the patent didnt really have the people who can use the help from a device like this in mind. For 7000 they ain't trying to help out at all. That's a damn shame. It probably doesn't even cost half of 7grand to make this thing
Acceleration is nothing if you cant turn your wheelchair. I have a Riomobility Firefly and its a game changer.
Nice
Thanks
it's beautifuj !!!
Nice a 100$ hubmotor and a 60$ battery put on low quality chinese metal and they charge you more to go faster u can keep that ripoff over there bro
Yeah looks cool, but 7k is waaaaay out of my range.
Australia 12k
need a more realistic test
Please quit complaining about the added cost of the extra programs! At least you do do not have to buy a bloody Apple watch to run the device, as one does with the Smart Drive.
You should have gotten a Smoov then
That’s no longer the case. It comes with a choice of SpeedControl dial or switch by default. Bluetooth is no longer recommended as the primary operating choice.
my heart bleeds for you.

need any more?
I dont trust that thing
