Great video! I’m also chronically ill and an ambulatory wheelchair user! It’s nice to see someone a similar age like me 💗

I just bought the Kadokura Malibu Nine second hand (the equivalent about £600 new on Amazon jp, but I paid just under £200) I’m waiting for it to arrive. I asked the maker if the anti tipper could be adjusted or removed. And in typical Japanese roundabout speaking fashion they were like, “It’s not that they can’t be removed or adjusted, but we really recommend that you don’t.” 😂

Love this video

Good job. My wife and I found her rigid frame Quickie wheelchair at a pawnshop for 150 USD, it was barely used. She upgraded it with Spinergy wheels she found online for $100. It sold new for around 3000 USD. She has had orthopedic issues since an accident as a teenager.

It’s so so worth trying to find second hand first! I’m glad you guys found what you needed

@@SmallandStrong66 Thanks. Weve also found other rigid-frame chairs on Craigslist. Weve bought a few of them, reconditioned them and resold them to people who cant afford a new wheelchair or need a backup. We also keep our eyes open for parts wheels and tires (tyres if British) as we live in an area that gets lots of snow and knobbies are a necessity for getting around in the winter..

Thanks for the great information

Lots of love and respect from India. Lots of love and respect from a wheelchair too..

Great video. Thank you!

@@SmallandStrong66 I’m a hardcore soaps fan.. they always do that dump up the age of the actors to play younger characters, for the dramatic an more mature storylines, I know! An it was a biggie you were in.. - will Freya be back at some point?? Nothing was touched upon after her mom was killed by Silas!!😱‼️.. BTW - I’ve got another YT channel where I share my Blu-ray collection and do movie reviews an chats! It’s my main channel..

I have an argon 2 from wheelchair services, I'm assuming that you tried that route? Some areas allow them for ambulatory wheelchair users, I was more mobile when I got my first one, now have a bright pink one with volcanic wheels at the front. They're the flashing ones, my inner child loves it!

This was a great video very informational!! But do you think you could share the name of the seller you got your second wheelchair from it would be very helpful to me as I have been looking at second hand chairs for a little while 💗

Hey there I wear oxygen for more than 10+ hours a day, have scoliosis and adolescent disc dysplasia, along with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis, asthma, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita, how did you get fitted what was the process do you think the nhs will give me one even tho I can walk. I just have pains in my hips, feet and legs & back so trying to keep up with people is a struggle along with wearing oxygen

Nice

Are you able to buy a second hand smart drive or Smoov one for your wheelchair? I love my smart drive system and I highly recommend them. (They are quite expensive though)

It depends on the model you get. I was told that I should get the quickie 2 and seriously hated it but I’ve seen newer different models that are amazing.
