Freewheel Review - Offroad Wheelchair Attachment.

Спорт

Here's my review of the Freewheel, a great wheelchair attachment that means you can go off-road as well as reduce the rolling resistance of your wheelchair allowing you to get more efficiency of each push. in this video I test it varies terrains and see its limits.

    Oooh this was great Ben! I’m looking for ways to be able to get out more and engage with the natural world and this might be the ticket. I have a motorised add on but it’s for urban use and isn’t any good for “off road” adventures. I think this might be my next purchase. Thanks for this great review! 👏☺️

    Freewheel is great but should be half the price!! I could understand somewhat when they started out, however now that these are mass produced and there’s nothing particularly expensive or high tech, the profiteering is inexcusable.

    I'm not trying to defend them but it's totally within their rights to price it how they want to. If people still buy them then why would they reduce the price. That's capitalism for you. The competition that's come along since hasn't come in any cheaper

    @@AdaptToPerform Sure, it's within their rights and yes, thats capitalism. It's also unethical in a world that is becoming more attuned to the ethics of any company. There is a huge history in the wheelchair and related industry of exploiting the market, and in many cases by disabled business owners themselves. A certain spanish company comes to mind. Powered front wheels for $5000 quid !! And yes, everybody follows suit. You run the price of any of these powered add-ons past anyone in the electric bike industry, and they fall over in disbelief. Same with wheelchairs. Why does this happen? Follow the money. The industry caters to a market largely funded by insurance and payouts. So if you have one of these behind you, you can basically buy what you want no matter what the cost. It's just too bad for anyone who isn't that fortunate, and there are many. Unfortunately there's not enough real competition or market share to cause this to be resolved, so it is the way it is.

    I don't know if you still look at the comments, but I'm being fitted for a better wheelchair at the beginning of the month, I hope this will fit on it as it looks great! I had a bit of trouble hearing what you said due to the music, but I can see it's an awesome piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing.
