What do you think of the SMOOV One? I'll be doing a full review once I've tested it in Bali so be sure to stick around for that! One more thing in regards to the weight, the reason is because it has a much more powerful battery and motor than its lighter rivals. Giving you higher speeds and longer range.

[@JohnTwentyMilanda]

Price?

[@paco3447]

​@@JohnTwentyMilanda Close to 4000 eur. I Have one and I don't reccomend it. It doesn't even last 2 months, either drive and auxiliar pieces. Engineering flaws: The control unit's clamp is made out of aluminium, a very bad idea as long as aluminium can't stand material fatigue as iron could (bend). so it will fracture within a few months. Second, whatever the motor drive / battery or MCU unit will die in ~2 months, no matter how careful you are. Eventually the drive will not longer charge anymore without any reason. And last but not least, the support service is the worse by any means: you need to send the defective piece back to Germany anytime you have a problem, which is common (good luck depending on your living country). And it takes a lifetime between sending, inspecting and bringing it back.

Excellent review. Helped my decision making process. Cheers!

[@pimpinkeen19]

I had a smart drive and this looks a lot safer and easier to adjust the speed.

[@AdaptToPerform]

I've only tried a smartdrive briefly so can't really compare but it seems that way

[@DisabledAtDisney]

Thanks, I’m trying mx smart drive 2 and Smoov

[@ilovebrean]

I would absolutely love to try one of these sadly way out of my price range I have the efix e35 and it’s a great system if it fits your chair (doesn’t fit my new chair) but the wheels add so much weight and extra width onto your chair I like how the smoov doesn’t add any width

[@AdaptToPerform]

I've not heard of that one! It's unfortunate with the prices but fairly unavoidable

[@patisrael2421]

Love the comparison to K-9 . Good review. I will have to see who sells it in Canada. Would be interesting to test drive it. I have a chair that folds - would I be able to use it? Thanks, Pat

[@wheelworldstan8608]

Can’t wait to see how it performs overall

[@AdaptToPerform]

Me too!

[@louisecroft1423]

So exciting!!

[@RohanTheBT]

Looks very clunky. I have a smartdrive 1. Gloves essential as I have burnt my hands trying to stop. How are you getting on with relatively small castors on your chair?

[@AdaptToPerform]

I'm making my full review soon after using in 3 different countries. It has enough differences to make it worth looking at if you don't have a smartdrive already or looking for a new one.

[@sylvialee7027]

The clamp broke to mine while detaching it to move from one chair to another. The company wants over $100. for this small clamp! Any suggestions of where I can find one that would work?

[@AdaptToPerform]

I'm sorry to hear that! It maybe cheaper to get on made... Plus it'd probably be stronger. Ask around your local area to see if anyone can help ☺️ let me know how you get on

can you upload close captions because the auto ones take a bit to work out

[@Denimgirl111]

When will you be doing the Bali review? I’m so keen to hear your thoughts as I’m seriously considering this unit. I really appreciated your video, so thank you for that 😊

[@AdaptToPerform]

So it'll be out in about a month from now. Only because the internet is slow here so uploading will be difficult (I'm here until 12th July) on my Instagram I'll be having posts on how it's going throughout so stay tuned for that!

[@Denimgirl111]

Adapt To Perform Thanks Ben. I’ll check it out. Enjoy your holiday mate 😀

[@AdaptToPerform]

Thank you very much 😀

[@Traceleeholland]

Very nice! I’ve always wondered what exactly that wheel does, I’m para 24 years and my shoulders are in bad shape this would work well. How much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking?

[@AdaptToPerform]

I didn't pay. Was given for review. The unit is being released soon so I'm not 100% sure on price

[@michaelsweeney4763]

Hi also a para for 24yrs tried 2 different powered wheel attachments. I have a deteriorating shoulder and the wheels left me in a bad way (having to steer wheelchair when in use) I recommend the Rio Firefly retails at 2290euro and a fabulous product given me full control with no added pressure to my body.

[@jorgemrjesus]

Not braking going down? It's dangerous for quads we don't have the grip brake. Prefer my e-motion wheels. Ty for the video. Stay strong.

[@AdaptToPerform]

When I do my full review I'll explain this ✌️

[@TuberLoober]

It wouldn't work on my wheelchair, since it folds and has an X shaped structure rather than the straight bar in the back. I also have an oxygen concentrator which would impede its use. But I applaud the attempt to improve independence for those of us with mobility restrictions.

[@AdaptToPerform]

They do claim it fits to folding chairs. Have a look at their website they have a list of wheelchairs that are compatible

[@JohnTwentyMilanda]

What's the price? I dont think you've talked about it....

[@AdaptToPerform]

I'm not 100% sure on price as the product isn't out quite yet

[@AdaptToPerform]

UK price is £4250 👍

Really depends on you skin and your independence. I have a hard IKEA mattress but I have no skin issues and I get dressed myself so that surface is easier

Who in the UK can we go to for a demo of this unit?

[@AdaptToPerform]

Try the SMOOV website. They have a form for demo's

[@DisabledAtDisney]

What area are you in? Freedom wheels are bringing it out for me to try, they cover London and surrounding areas

[@Ozzie4Para]

$6900?!?!?!???!!?????!!! Wow! This thing costs just as much as a new chair. That is nuts!

Yeah unfortunately that's the same for the competitors too.

[@paco3447]

I've purchased one about 2 months ago. Sorry but it sucks. It doesn't even last 2 months, either drive and auxiliar pieces. Is in some sort of Beta stage. Flaws and defective: The control unit's clamp is made out of aluminium, a very bad idea as long as aluminium can't stand material fatigue as iron could (bend). so it will fracture within a few months. The motor drive / battery or MCU unit will die in ~2 months, no matter how careful you are. Eventually the drive will not longer charge anymore without any reason. The support service is the worse by any means: you need to send the defective piece back to Germany anytime you have a problem, which is common (good luck depending on your living country). And it takes a lifetime between sending, inspecting and bringing it back.

[@AdaptToPerform]

I'm sorry to hear this! Mines going strong after 6 months using nearly everyday including heavy rain, sand, and big bumps. They've been nothing but accommodating to me either. I'll contact my guy and get them to get in touch

[@paco3447]

Despite the design flaws, like employ die casted aluminium for the clamp of the control unit holder, which is a crazy idea from the point of view of industrial engineering, as is a rigid and porous material not intended to bend around a frame tube. But the most annoying is the customer service support. Everytime some part fails, you will need to send the unit to Germany and wait months for repairs and bringing back. The idea is good, but the design, quality and customer support needs heavy improvement.

[@bobshropshire2781]

I’ve used the Smovv for a two week per before ordering- it’s not for off road or doing out of the ordinary- it’s for long stretches on smooth surfaces- the system is durable enough for most uses-

[@mirjanamuco8929]

[@codysmiff222]

Cool device to compete with the smartdrive, I’m not sure how much I like the control knob that clips onto the chair having to take it on and off for the car

[@AdaptToPerform]

It removes quickly but I haven't gone in and out of the car yet. I'll remember to do this for my full review. It's great to see more competition, only improves things for us!
