2024 Abilities Expo - Lots of Interesting Products For Greater Mobility!

[@IMBruceECLECTIC]

Interesting....thank you for sharing!

It’s pretty cool. I know the pandemic really hurt trade shows like these, looks pretty well attended from both the vendor and public side, so it’s good to see that coming back. I used to like to go to the vacation and boat show at the fairgrounds where I grew up. I never bought anything of significance from it (I think I bought some fishing stuff a couple times, but nothing big), but it was always interesting to see what was out there. There’s a lot of stuff to help people with significant mobility issues, and that’s cool. Coming at it from the outside some of the prices make my eyes water, but I guess it has to very rugged and completely dependable since people are putting their full safety in the hands of the device.

Wow, Thanks Russ! I'm a patron of a company called Not a Wheelchair. One of the places that sells it is Utah Trikes. It's a full mobility Trike and Quad.

Some pretty cool and useful Tec at that show, thanks for taking us along.

[@elayned6147]

I thought that mobility trike was pretty cool. Some of those are like those monster cars, pretty pricey too. Thanks for taking us along 👍

Interesting stuff!

Mobility matters. Bicycles matter. Electric busses matter. Electric trains matter. Safe protected bike and bus lanes are necessary for efficient transport. Children should be able to ride bicycles or take a bus to school safely. Cities need to provide multiple options for transportation. Less cars, more buses, more bicycles. Staying active is key. There is a climate crisis. We need to make walking, cycling, using escooters and taking a bus easier and the default option for most people. Ebikes are brinigng many older adults back to cycling and the benefits of exercise.

Great job!

Thank you for showing us these products. My main problem is that most people that use these products are very disabled and usually dont work, so we dont just have 3 grand to spend so we can ride a bike were a normal bike is less than a grand.

I've been watching some Amsterdam biking videos and often you'll see people on a scooter going 15 - 20 MPH and keeping up with a bikers.

[@iscootct]

Do you think any of the mobility scooter companies would send out review/influencer products?

[@RussIsRight]

Here you go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqa4lWChjsaleZo

[@iscootct]

@@RussIsRightThanks. Maybe I will ditch e-bikes and become a full time mobility scooter influencer. I can post my QR code at the local senior center and I will have millions of followers. 😂😊😂. But seriously I did go back and watch your review. I see one of these in my future.

[@RussIsRight]

My scooter is the Pride Mobility Go Go series travel scooter. I think this type is best for getting on planes and ships and even cars. Being able to take the scooter apart makes a huge difference for taking a scooter with you in the trunk of your car.

The adaptive tools coming to market can make the difference in so many people's lives Too bad prices for these products were not in the affordable range for so many if not most middle income families.

[@allanflippin2453]

Russ, If you get a chance, can you include some links to these products? Thanks!

[@RussIsRight]

I don't have any additional links other than what I already posted in the description of the video.

[@allanflippin2453]

@@RussIsRight Sorry, Russ. You have a million links and I couldn't tell right off if some were related to the show. My bad.

Bicycles, ebikes, electric cargo bicycles, robo taxis and escooters are great options for last mile, short distance travel. Reduced transportation costs and fossil fuels free transportation. Cities need to do more to encourage people to ride bicycles by providing SAFE, PROTECTED BIKE LANES and trails. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Bicycles are healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. Electric bicycles are bringing many older adults back to cycling. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for health or ride for fun. Children should be able to ride a bicycle to school without having to dodge cars and trucks. Separated and protected bike lanes are required. It will also make the roads safer for automobile drivers. Transportation planners and elected officials need to encourage people to walk, bike and take public transportation. Healthy exercise and fossil fuels free transportation. In the future cities will be redesigned for people not cars. Crazy big parking lots will be transformed with solar canopies generating free energy from the sun.
