How We Saved Around $1000 on My New Wheels!!

[@shellyhorton1466]

I love following you. I have CMT and cause limitations with my walking. You inspired me to continue to move forward each day.

[@AichaCT]

I love how she loves him. If we all were lucky to have a partner like Charisma we wouldn't be lucky; we would be blessed. The loves, patients and positivity in her is beautiful to see.

[@jenniferpruden4059]

Good on the bike shop for not ripping you off. They did a good job for you. Hope other disabled wheelchair users make good use of their services 🎉🚲🚲🧑‍🦽Well done for passing your test and the new license where you live.🙋👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩❤️🎊🎊

[@BeautyMeetsDIY]

Hi guys! My husband and I are from Newport News, VA. 👋👋We would love to connect with you. We have similar stories and we have been following you for a while! And we love that you are fun and outgoing like we are despite the many challenges that come with being a paraplegic (my husband is T4 down) I’m his caretaker. We would love to chat and also pick your brains lol. Helen & Henry here! 🤗

[@noxolomatshaka2257]

Team work family... Well done. Congrats to Cole on passing with flying colours... Stay blessed family❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@slcncr]

I am a certified bicycle mechanic and when i hear those prizes for "wheelchair tires" i can only SMH ... They are bicycle tires ! Nothing else. And i can say that with confidence cause i have worked on wheelchairs for years too. Yes, you can choose between air tires and full rubber material depending on what your preferences are or what the chair is specifically used for. So DON`T go to a wheelchair shop when you need new rubber, always go to a bicycle shop, they can and will help you. At a fraction of the prize. Another example: JerryRigEverything`s "Notawheelchair" : Mostly, i would guess more than 90 %, bike parts. Zack did that on purpose, for easy maintenance and mostly low costs.

[@rosieschweebie]

Hello! You two have so much fun together.😊 Congratulations on passing your driving test and getting your license Cole. 🙌🏾

[@karenkennedy9874]

I love you both!!! Thank you for sharing your life with me. My brother was in a car accident years ago and they didn’t have all of the different chairs like you have today. You’re both so blessed to have each other and to have the support from both your families ♥️♥️

[@sybilmcpherson2240]

Charisma is the true Nerd! Asking which ones Cole got wrong!!!😂😂😂

[@DeniseTerrell-oy5tm]

That’s crazy that they basically rip off people with a disability… that makes me mad and sad! Glad you found a good place to take the wheelchair to!

[@CrabtreeJK]

Numotion is particularly bad and has several court cases against them at the moment.

[@joemyers5302]

Disabled people are a small and captive audience, it's quite common for us to have to pay way more than we should to get anything.

[@Kinmoonify]

They do that over here in sweden too, same injury as Cole. Getting stuff is close to impossible depending on location you live

[@NiceDiggz]

Yep, same with ppl who take meds.

[@Jacobytru]

One thing I’ve learned from in different companies is that these companies don’t care about you. They charge you so much because they know it’s something you’ll need if you have a disability.

[@jtmmy]

That’s absolutely insane. I’m a nurse and will recommend this now. Thank you

[@iamtranyceproductions]

Love this video! It's so nice to just have celebratory videos. Thanks for sharing this with us, y'all. ❤

[@triciadowty8416]

You guys got me on the pass/fail. Well played.

[@H0oLIgAnSsRo0lMaRrSz]

Me too! I was like , how?!! 😂

[@elizabethharttley4073]

Haha I remember having to take the test in a new state. The woman who administered the test said I cheated cause I answered all questions correctly. Keep spreading the info on tire replacement. It's that good. Peace

[@martysinq4831]

We enjoy going on these adventures with you. You’re both adorable, Cole you look very handsome on your new license.

[@evelyn7881]

Cole is very handsome.

[@Pat.Pat123]

​@@evelyn7881and Clarissa is beautiful right she's beautiful

[@sybilmcpherson2240]

Its time for me to get new tires - thanks for the reminder that the bike shop can do the job!

[@valjean9581]

One of my favorite pastors on youtube is derek prince and he said some of the sweetest people he has met are those who use wheelchairs. I completely agree because of the line of work I'm in I have been blessed to meet a few. And to my point, Cole is so very sweet God bless!

[@Pat.Pat123]

What bout Clarissa isn't she great also and sweet all she does that's whycoles so happy so bless them both right

[@bevl7989]

Congratulations Cole way to go buddy god’s blessings on you both🙏

[@zamakhosimpanza3902]

😂Ha-ha that tickles! Or is it high standards😮?

[@Tamira17676]

Am in Kenya and always happy to watch your show lovely couple i wish to be a caretaker always love that Job to those who have disabilities

[@lisagiardino5715]

Awesome You got a great deal congrats Cole on getting a new driver's license Enjoy your week 😊

[@Pat.Pat123]

Yes Clarissa and Cole enjoy your weekends I think people forget Coles married so he'll be enjoying his weekends with his pretty wife

[@mercedesray9098]

That difference in price is just crazy! Thank God you both are more forward thinking and can work outside the box. I am not disabled, but have been watching you for years, and the things I have learned on your channel, I have been able to share. Thanks for all you do. Congrats on obtaining your Cali license and Real ID. The thought of fighting the DMV crouds to get that Real ID has helped me procrastinate getting that done.

[@grf5]

I recommend you schedule an appointment, fill the application out online and have ALL of your documents with you. In fact. Take too much information

[@kavitadeva]

Just so you know, of you are Disabled and going to the DMV there is a no wait line. None of this waiting for hours. I get right in. Take care.

[@rogermcmillan4631]

$1,300 is a lot thanks for sharing with us guys I look forward to seeing the next video on the weekend thank you so much

[@troydrew4958]

Cole, you might have lucked out with getting the grey tires over the black. Most black tires can leave streaks on floors, kind of like black rubber heels on shoes leave marks. The people that keep our floors nice tend to love us more when we don't streak up their floors. 😄

[@robertboettinger4102]

Cole congratulations on your California license charisma. You’re a wonderful wife to your husband Cole you had a crazy two weeks you finally got your wheel chair tires change they look awesome. You should have back ups so case you get a flat tire. I love you guys videos. It shows you how much you love each other. Sofi is adorable.

[@ritalyn3296]

Cole and Charisma I will roll with you anywhere! You are my power couple on KZbin❤❤

[@patriciarobinson5172]

I’m staying positive you’ll get yours first go too 🙏🏾👏🏽🎉🎊 congratulations Cole 🎈🙌🎉

[@Pat.Pat123]

Ya Clarissa and Cole congratulations

[@dianethompson463]

Everything is looking up and blessings keep pouring in

[@taraisaacs8965]

I agree with bike shop’s being cheaper. However, one word of caution, traditional wheelchair tires are latex free. Just keep that in mind if you have latex allergies. Bike tires contain latex. The reason the black tires probably didn’t fit is because there’s a number after the size. For example my tires are 22x 1 3/8 but right after the size there is a number such as 37-501. If you don’t match this number to your existing tires they will not fit!

[@sybilmcpherson2240]

Congrats! 🎉🎉🎉

[@CrabtreeJK]

We also replaced a tube in my wife’s manual chair at a bike shop! Thanks for the tip in your NY video!

[@ElviraSongalla]

Good to hear from you both new update from your channel done played here

[@taylor3950]

The way I’ve committed the bike shop tip to memory lol. I don’t know anyone in a wheelchair but maybe one day!

[@ChildofObatala]

This is good to know. Hopefully I’ll remember this down the road. I have no idea why insurance doesn’t cover new wheels for manual chair but will do it for electric ones. Makes no sense

[@carlagat1075]

Congratulations!!

[@jasearc]

I will never go back to tube tyres... solid rubber tyres are the best and you never have to worry about a flat or having to pump up a tyre again

[@MAFsters]

awesome cost savings. air pressure matters in cars and bicycles. maybe in wheelchairs too? slightly softer tyres give a smoother, less jerky ride. softer is also good for rough terraine so tyres have "give". that reduces likelihood of punctures. hard maxed-out air pressure in tyres are good for lower friction and, in a car, less gas consumption. on a bike, for speed on smooth roads. (higher risk of punctures, esp on rougher suface). so i assume it's easier to push a chair with harder tyres, as there is less friction and less tyre surface touching the pavement. but to the rider, slightly softer tyres might feel smoother. can the body be damaged by tough wheel jerking and increased vibrations? can you increase shock abdorbtion with cushier seat?

[@bjyoung11616]

My husband has a knee brace among many things for his stroke recovery. The brace was covered by insurance but extra parts would have cost $40 (the rep who came to our house was a tool but that’s a different story). I called the manufacturer and they sent us the parts for free! 🙌

[@maggiemacha5552]

Well done Cole! Congratulations on passing the driving test in your new home state! Your new photo came out really nice! Awesome new tires on your manual chair! The bike shop is so much more reasonably priced! Much love to you both and Sophie too ❤

[@helenmokom1569]

Good job Cole .You passed your test You always try to put in your very best in all your endeavours.

[@Pat.Pat123]

His pretty wife also does right

[@anna2skadoo]

My uncle is a bike mechanic and I never knew they did stuff like that. But it does make sense that they would! Good thinking, way to save that $$$$ 😂

[@cristinacristina9964]

Love you guys…..watching from London, England

[@robincrawley9794]

Hi Cole and Charisma! Alriiiiight, Congratulations All Around The Board! Awesome Team You Are, Love You Much, Blessings❣️🌅

Cool Cole😎. You guys are interesting fun to watch.💕💕

[@adelinarivera2193]

Congratulations on passing your test!! How often do you have to replace your tires?

[@MichiganMike]

in Michigan you must take a yearly written and road test for a DL if using a wheel chair or just unable to walk, even though I dont need special equipment to drive, appointment must be made NO WALK OR ROLL INS ALLOWED, I feel discimated against, I pass with flying colors every year, kind of hurts, congrats Coleeee

[@Nick-rb1vk]

Should try CRS. they cover ALL my wheelchair needs.

[@dazza70smith]

Good morning Cole & Charisma. Sending love and prayers from the UK 🇬🇧. 👏💜👍🙏🤗♿️ #ForeverPromotingPositiveDisabilityAwareness

[@beachristiansen590]

Cole congrats on the new CA drivers license --- excellent acting on reporting the outcome of the test! lol Always check all your options and ask, ask before you pay $$$$ Good luck on your test Charisma. 🤩

[@globalconcern4995]

Your vlogs are fun, motivating, inspirational.

[@Sophia-ld3vq]

Glad you shop around that outrageous your chair should be covered by the insurance happy to see you didn't have to pay that price god bless

[@Pat.Pat123]

And Clarissa she's the best woman right Coles not in this alone he's married to Clarissa who takes good care of Cole that's why Coles happy

[@robinvarnadoe8429]

Glad y'all found a shop that could fix your chair up at a reasonable price, that's ridiculous the mobility place quoting you $1300! Shows they price gouge the disabled.

[@nikkimatthys1995]

Back in December I got new tire for my wheelchair because they were bald as 💩the company I use for my chair they gave me the option to get air filled or solid I decided to go with solid so my brakes always work and I wanted solid tires anyway because the air filled ones drove me crazy because when the air was going down my brakes stopped working and I’ve landed on my but a few times transferring then in April of this year on Easter weekend I woke up and my seatbelt broke it wouldn’t click so for a week I couldn’t use my seatbelt I don’t how people with out seatbelt do it I was so scared that I was gonna go arse over tea kettle I’ve always had a seatbelt I live in Canada so when I’m wheeling around outside you just never know if you’ll hit a pot hole I can go without my wheelie bars but I need a seatbelt to feel safe

[@dorisharrison9885]

Enjoyed watching your video, God bless,have a bless day 😊🍁🍁🍁

[@tammyrolle4733]

So happy for you Cole 🎉 You will do awesome charisma 👍🏾

[@lindaholmes9460]

Congratulations on the test

[@joemyers5302]

It's odd that you had troubles getting repairs at the bike shop, I've always managed to get my wheels fixed at my local one.

[@catherinezenovich5483]

Your old tyres felt soft probably because they needed more air in them. You may want to get a bike pump to keep your tyre pressure where it should be. Soft tyres are harder work to ride on

[@coleandcharisma]

We made sure to pump Cole’s tires often 😊 the biggest issue was the lack of tread

[@pattyfluegel7816]

That is what I was thinking too...that you could look at a bike shop.

[@euniceolawoyin1041]

Congratulations on your new licence 🎉🎊🤷‍♀️🧨🤾‍♀️🤾‍♂️🤾‍♂️🤾‍♀️.Rock your new wheels 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@missLeamon2023]

Awesome

[@sybilmcpherson2240]

Omg! The closed on Monday ploy is the worst for wheelchair users - such a pain to go somewhere w/o an appt!

[@petuniamavuso7139]

My favourite couple ❤

[@TheMessyDeskxyz]

Gosh, $1300 on wheelchair tires is insane, I feel like you can buy a new manual wheelchair (or half?) at that price! What a ripoff, glad you found the bike shop!

[@peggyvincent2310]

I know it may be fun be careful 🙏🏾

[@timpearson9579]

It's the same in the UK, anything to do with disabled equipment they add two 0's on, why?

[@lindastjohn2543]

That is such great advice about the wheel chair tires I never knew that. Congratulations on your license Cole ❤❤

[@samanthaheath5351]

That’s so great!! 🎉

[@tonisangel5024]

Such nice people at the bike shop! Makes me sooooo mad the first place was trying to rip ya'll off A Disabled person thats sickening and God doesn't like nasty!!!! Love ya'll take care...🤗💥🙏💥🧑‍🦽🌟💫🌟☮

[@mamaafrican4958]

GOD bless u guys

[@Jakori1977]

You have to take a test to get a drivers licence in each state you move too ? You don’t have to do this in Canada when you move provinces.. here you just switch your licence to the new province Id

[@sybilmcpherson2240]

I think like most licenses in the US, it depends on the state. Many states have reciprocity and may only require basic info to switch licenses.

[@brendavankomen182]

. I have been doing this since I got my chair. I guess I just never though to tell others. I’m glad it worked out and you were able to get new wheels. 😊

[@20page05]

Yay you got your Cally driver license

[@puccaleo]

Love that skeleton just taking a nap on the floor!

HEY GUYS! l see you're getting further settled in you life in Cali. I've enjoyed watching your lives unfold since you two stayed with Coles parents. It's always nice to see you. LOTs of love from East Coast. Delaware

[@Autum-MrsPinkHairedChristian]

I remember my parents VA license from the 80s. Paper in a plastic sleeve. MI just had big licenses that were plastic that didn’t fit in your wallet well.

[@eugeniajones1895]

That is ridiculous that they are charging that much. Everything is about money. No one should have to pay that much . I'm glad you have Charisma to watch out for you Cole. And that's a big difference in price. Glad you were able to get your wheelchair tires at a decent price. They look great. And congratulations on getting your California license. That's a big deal. Now your officially a Californian resident. 👍🏾 Now it's Charisma 's turn. Wishing you all the best when you take you test. Cole you look so handsome great picture.😊😊❤️❤️
