Such a great video, thank you!

Price?

bike tires are different, the wall is different. So if you go for Schwalbe, go for the wheelchair version of the Schwalbe Marathon Plus Reflex.

Foam filled is bad esp. for outside use.

you have a Xenon2 Hybrid FF. I know because I have the Xenon 2 Hybrid FF Wheelchair too.

How easy would it be to sit in teh car and fold it down and then twist it into the car?. My eheelchaur is far too heavy and in not able to use my car without someone lifting it in and out.

You might want to lose the weight before it kills you prematurely.

I have cerebral palay and looking for love .

I need to help my mom who has spina bifida. She doesn't live in the US, and it is expensive for her to travel. Is there a way to get a help online? She doesn't want to do surgery

Love your video. I am in the process of getting a new wheelchair and it is a lengthy process thru ADP. I am currently using an older wheelchair. I use a Kafo and forearm crutches to walk but using wheelchair is giving me more freedom. I am also exercising regularly. Aging with Spina Bifida can be challenging at times

Thanks for such a great video. I'm currently looking because I need to change from a rigid frame to a foldable. Your personal experiences were very thought provoking and useful.

Thanks for your video and info about this wheelchair. I have Spina Bifida and I am about to go to a wheelchair clinic for a new wheelchair.

That’s an excellent review😊. My husband and I have had a foldable quickie for years and we love it, it has been a game changer. I believe that if he was to change it, it will look just like yours🤝.

Will it for God’s approval. Congratulations!

Where can we buy these in ontario? This is what I need!!! 😊

Thank you for informing we don't need help every time and because we are a larger person our centre of balance is different,

Cool won't have to hand push anymore. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💝👍👍👍👍🤲💞💞💞💞🎶🎶🎶💞💞

Wow...I'm surprised more people don't use one of these!! Great invention!

Technology. This is fantastic. 💕

Have you ever ridden a public bus with the Xenon and had the safety straps attached to it? Where do they usually attach the straps in the back? My current manual chair is a rigid chair with an axle tube they strap to but the Xenon doesn't have one of those.

Thanks so much for being honest and humorous about using a wheelchair. I have childhood polio and not able to walk with crutches anymore due to multiple cancer treatments. This is a model I will consider. You are right, most people are trying to help a fellow human being, not to look down on the disability.

I'm 'iffy' about wheelies too! Lol..maybe something to do with becoming a wheelchair user in my mid-sixties

I like the folding handles and your comments about people grabbing your wheelchair to 'help' without being asked...I hate that! Not only do I dislike being 'kidnaped', with COVID still around & mutating, I don't want other people touching my chair!

Awesome review of your Quickie Xenon 2. And thank you. I am in the process of getting one myself. It will take 3 to 6 months before I can have it, as I was told. I currently own a Quickie Q7, which I love. But this thing is nearing 10 years, and it has some squeaking every now and then.

Hello I heard in your video that you have a wheelie bar does that help you get up curbs? it would really help me if I could get one when I get my wheelchair instead of having to be pushed .

Great Video! Welcome to my channel :)

I have 0 knowldge about spina bifida iam 27 iam married iam lady i give birth to 2 childs now living normal life in some other issues i found in mri i have closed spina bifida. I do not no about that. How many types r their in spina bifida. Now iam fealing pain in hands legs. I am fear about this

Atleast any idea for surgery is their spins bifida

Sir my age is 27 i have spina bifida closed . Iam andhra pradesh .any suggestions to give for surgery

Excelent

I was 21-22when it really kicked in for me. I thought I could do what everyone else did but turns out iI was wrong, that lead to depression for awhile but eventually snapped out of it .

So I got my new chair and I love it even more than the previous one. That wasn't quite to my size (measurement error) but i still liked it. This one? Bloody awesome! Fits my body so well and rolls smooooth!

Oh Jonathan and Joy I soooo enjoy listening to you banter back and forth. So happy for you both and look forward to following your journey. Jonathan you are a natural in front of the camera. I just want to reach up and pinch your cheeks. Lol. I love that this is just a regular conversation for you. Keep up the good work!!!!

I am so happy i found your channel. I'm in the Niagara area and we are just starting the potion possess. Our first I guess 'class' is on the 27th and paperwork is just before that. He's the able-bodied one and I am not so much. We are also just a little younger than you. It makes it, it gives me hope to see your journey knowing that there are others like us and able to adopt. It's been my biggest worry and fear for me that adoption was just out of reach for me, Thank you and I can't wait to see your next video

Thank god! Joy ma'am is Fine now. Thanks for the wishes & Wish you both a very Happy new year.

Feel better Joy!

Hi Happy. Holluday Wbat do you think about Frog legs casters? Thanks josie

You probably can't do a wheelie bc your center of gravity is too far back. In the Xeon you can adjust it through moving your wheels a bit more to the front. But be aware, it can get really trippy. The weight distribution should be around 80/20 up to 95/5 (weight on caster wheels to weight on pushing wheels)

That was my battle until recently. Now, I'm like okay I can do this. We love doing these things I love going places, I love looking around, I just don't have the stamina to walk far. My size and various physical issues limit how long I'm on My feet. Hubby is on board. He actually asked me why didn't you ask or talk about getting a scooter. And I'm like we can rent a scooter anytime anywhere.

What a great video. Thank you so much! I started the process of getting a wheelchair for part time use and I'm doing research. My challenge for a decent, visually pleasing manual wheelchair will be for my heavy frame as well as my limited hand use. I didn't want a power chair; I didn't want to scooter because the small SUV will fit in neither of those. I have my eye on the Quickie brand and this model looks like it might be the right one. My only question is what's it's weight limit. I still have not met with physical therapist so we'll find out when we get to that point. But again, thank you so much for this informative video.

Hi. I've been learning a lot via your youtube clips. Thank you! Thanks to your videos, I feel better about getting a chair, especially this video. My wife and I watched it together and it totally spoke to her. Thanks to this video, I have received my mandate: "get the Xenon!" (She's already planning vacations) Now the questions, because I'm getting different answers from different "experts" and now I'm even more confused than before (where I was confident in my choices before I met them): 1. When determining the heights (seatfront, seatrear, chairback, legrests) do you need to take into account the cushion (I'm looking at the Jay BasicPro)? One says yes, one says no. 2. I was told that a footplate clearance of 5" is not a problem (this is the one that says the changes must be in accordance with the thickest part of the cushion). It seems high for me. What do you think? Thanks so much for your advice and your videos. They've helped us so much!

Can COG be adjusted?

Hello Sir, I would like to purchase this wheelchair how can I get it.please help to know me the information

Great review! As a fellow owner, I can wholeheartedly agree. Great chair, recommended, it is surprisingly rigid and very cleverly designed. My social security is about to expire on mine, so I'll get a new one jut because servicing isn't for free after expiry. Other than that it is still like new, rigid and tough yet lightweight. When going to work, I pop on the electric Triride and woosh. 20km/h for years now, over potholes and curbs and still it doesn't squeak. I will get froglegs castor forks though, wanna try if they make a difference.

Great review! I have to start looking for a wheelchair and haven't the slightest idea where to start. The advice I get seems to be linked to kickbacks, that's why I appreciated your comments and advice so much. I am unable to fully close one of my hands and thus will be unable to grip the corresponding push rims. Can you think of any solutions? Thanks!

"How do you teach your non-disabled children to interact with those who do have a disability." Me: Simple. Do what I do: teach your children early that there are many ways that people walk/move, talk, see, hear etc...and it is okay and it's not weird...just different. My children are all Autistic, just like me...so it was very important to me that they understood that what makes them different is just as fine as something that makes someone else different. In our house, we are often confused about the behaviors of NT's (neeurotypicals...non autistic people)...behaviors that include categorizing, labeling, and defining others by, to our view, some very strange criteria...and often ends up being derogatory, unkind, or flat out wrong to the person in question. I can remember one instance with one of my younger sons, where a new student in his school happened to use a wheelchair. The little guy in question was sitting kind of away from the others in his chair and I said to my then five year old son, "Why don't you go say Hi to that little boy over there and ask him his name?" My son looked up at me from the table of sensory toys he was playing with and said, "why?" I told him, "Because I think he looks unhappy sitting there by himself and he might be very nice and you might be friends and play together." My son played with the toys a moment longer and then asked me, "But what if he's a meanie?" I remember laughing a little and telling him, "well if he's mean you don't have to play with him, but why don't you go say Hi and see?" (being autistic, my son had met his share of 'meanies') Long story short the two ended up getting along together like a house on fire...but that wasn't what made my mama-heart so happy...what made me so happy was that not once did my son question the fact that this little boy was in a wheelchair or why (though he did ask the boy some days later why he was in "that chair" and accepted the child's answer very matter of fact like), but instead, was simply worried that a new person he was meeting might not be nice...in essence he saw the little boy as he would anyone else, not so much the chair/disability...as it should be. He was worried about meeting someone new just like we all do at times (I'm an introvert as well Joy). Doing things like this...encouraging your children to be inclusive of others (and not because of, for instance, someone's disability, but rather because they may be sitting alone) is so very important when we are raising our children to be kind, sensitive, loving individuals. Also, if a child sees someone using a wheelchair or crutches, a seeing-eye dog, sign language, etc...and they ask questions,...parents shouldn't shush them or pull them away as I see so many parents do in grocery stores and other public places, seemingly embarrassed by their child's natural curiosity. It takes only a moment to inform or reassure a child so that their comfort level around someone with a disability can grow. Children learn quickly and wouldn't it be great if one of the first things they learned from us as parents is how to really see each other, no matter the small differences?

Such great advice. I fell into using a chair out of necessity at the mall one day. Later on I rented a chair for a month, borrowed a couple to test drive, then finally got my custom chair. The first OT I saw flat out refused to apply for me because she said I wouldn’t be approved. It worked out because I don’t think she had the experience to fill out the paperwork correctly. The next OT was like oh I know exactly what to write to get you approved. We ended up paying about 10% of my $6600 chair. 😬 Unfortunately drs and society are ableist. I had NO idea how helpful/energy saving a wheelchair could be. Literally life changing.

I have a Tilite ZRA with ROHO air cushion, Jay low back, side guards, and soft roll castors. I got it through Motion Specialties on Adelaide 4 years ago. I drove past awhile ago and they’re not called Motion Specialties anymore. Can’t remember the new name. I went through ADP for funding. The OT I worked with put in the paperwork for why I needed the titanium. My biggest gripes are the sagging fabric seat and the aluminum rims. My footplate is a little too low as well. I didn’t know it was going to slope down. That’s great if you’re paralyzed but not helpful for me. I’m a PT user, mostly on flat flooring (malls, grocery store), so it works well enough for now.

Great video!
