Triride review. Is it worth the money?

[@drdarwin1]

Thank you for sharing. I have MS and I really appreciate when real people own and give their real life experiences.

[@simaega]

it is SO hard to find videos on Triride from actual users, thank u for sharing this 🥳

[@abievans]

No problem 😊

[@simaega]

@@abievans hey i've got a question. for when ur air travelling, anything u keep in mind or do for safety of ur wheelchair and triride? i knw baggage collection is notorious for lugging them around and causing damage. so was wondering if you had any tips to stay safe, since im lookin to get a triride soon :)

[@abievans]

@@simaega absolutely, all I do is make sure I keep the together. Don’t disconnect the Triride. Just remove the battery and take it in the cabin. This means it is around 25kg and so they have to carefully pick it up and also have to put it its own container and strap it in. So far the worst damage I have had is a snapped mud guard! Hope that helps. 😊

I'm currently waiting for my Triride and bespoke wheelchair (I'm a 20 stone 6ft male) and your video has given me confidence in it. My biggest concern is the foot room ill have with my left foot. I'm a BTK amputee and because of restrictions on my leg angle, (I find it difficult to keep my leg at 90 degrees and further back, for long periods. The demo model the guy brought round was too small for me and the front wheel caught my left trainer shoe when the steering was on full lock. Thanks again Abi.

Great video , key points no faff. I hear prices ranging from a few to 6-7 grand. As always with disability equipment you get ripped off. For those wheelchair users who didn’t get a compo claim luxuries like these are sadly unaffordable.

[@abievans]

Unfortunately so, disability is so expensive! It would be amazing if they could be more affordable

Thanks for a quick informative review, plus the vlogs of your trips. Really helps get a practical feel for possible equipment choices. How have you found the Triride as far as reliability goes? And if/when repairs or maintenance are needed, what’s the service like? Thanks.

[@abievans]

Hi. Reliability. Has been pretty good so far. The battery really hold its charge well and tired hasn’t needed replacing yet and I am at 600 miles now. Triride uk, seem to yo be really on it with repairs and support too. Thank you for a lovely message!!

[@teresap8950]

Thanks very much for the extra info. Very helpful.

[@PaigeWalker-vh6xr]

Hi Abi. Thank you for your videos. They are super helpful. Can I ask where you purchased? I'm looking online from the US and can only find info, but no purchase options.

[@melin1969]

they are sold by mobilty shops it shouldnt be hard to find a seller in the USA theres a dozen or more in the UK and even a page on facebook

[@Wheels4Leg]

Thank you for sharing this, I’ve struggled to find anything on this and especially the flight and battery part! How have you found the experience of keeping the chair all attached when they store it in cargo?

[@abievans]

Not a problem. I have found it absolutely find just say it’s on wheelchair and it’s electric and they don’t question, if they as to take it apart (only happened once to me) I just say it is to difficult and it need to stay together. They just put it in it own container, which means less chance of damage. Hope that helps.

[@LarryjB53]

They're about 7,000 euros, right?

[@abievans]

They range from around 4000 to 7000 euros depending on the model

[@michaeldavey6276]

Hello Abi, unfortunately there is not a tryride for everyone, because they have a weight limit and when you are six foot three and weigh nearly two hundred plus kilograms, your options are very limited, I have only found one power add on that comes close and it has so many negatives that I believe it is not worth the money but what other option is there?

[@frankward8336]

Too much yap, should be a voiceover of practical use
