Zoomer Chair & KD Smart Chair

Sharing what I like about my new electric wheelchair and a small comparison with the KD Smart Chair.

[@loriescobar9682]

Thanks for posting your review. Your video was very helpful. I just got a Zoomer for my partner with Parkinson's.

[@troypettit2332]

Hey, thanks! It has helped me so much the last couple of years. Wishing you the best!

[@loriescobar9682]

@@troypettit2332 How do you transport your Zoomer in the car. I find it too heavy for me to left into the car trunk. Any suggestions?

[@ZanBlackk]

Fantastic review! I'm getting one soon, its on its way. Thank you for the terrific video! The foot rest looks great! I trip over anything anyways, lol. I have Fibromyalgia and a I can make myself walk a little bit but not far without sitting down and I can't drive because of other disabilities. I cant wait for this to help me get out of my apartment! I have places to go, lol.

[@troypettit2332]

Hahah. That’s awesome! Sorry for the late reply. I get that. I hope you’re liking the chair. It’s a game changer

[@taste_is_sweet]

Thank you so much for your painstaking review! Could you please tell me if either of the arm rests lift? I'm concerned about my dad having to back into this chair to sit, since his balance is very bad.

[@troypettit2332]

Ahh. Both of the armrests on the kd smart chair lift Bu the zoomer are fixed. and. lower. 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@troypettit2332]

To be honest the zoomer is pretty great for getting into. Because the footrest is just hanging, you can get close before sitting down.

[@beckyroberts5818]

Hey! I have MS and am trying to decide which electric wheelchair to go with. Do you still like the zoomer? Or have you found one you prefer more?

[@troypettit2332]

Heyy! I still love the zoomer:) It’s helped so much. No complaints.

[@bobjohnson2172]

Thank you Troy.

[@maxwellmark]

Seemed like a good review but the volume is so low I can only hear a few words...can the wheels still have power when folded up? Wondering if it could be used to help load using a ramp and using the motors to drive up the ramp when folded.

[@troypettit2332]

Ahh. My bad! 😅 I appreciate you letting me know. Yeah!! The wheels still have power and work the same when it’s folded but I think the “anti tip wheels” are for moving it around when folded because they stick out farther than the tires lol but I really don’t know.

[@troypettit2332]

I like to drive up to my Uber and flip the red levers that are by the tires while the zoomer is still on hah The chair knows it’s in free wheel mode but the wheels lock and the lights around the joystick flash. When I stand up then I hit the power off and my driver can easily roll it the the trunk. I hope that helped a little!

[@KattyWamp]

Do the front wheels have a hard time going over the gap in an elevator door? Do you have to put air in the tires often or can you change them out for the solid tires?

[@NK-dg8lf]

Thank you Troy. My search for a chair may have ended. The footrest and lower armrest are what I like about the Zoomer. Can you feel the bar under your legs? I too have MS. Thank again.

[@troypettit2332]

Ohhh awesome Nishma! Those are some of my favourite things. “That bar that moves?”😅. No I don’t notice it. The seat is very comfortable.

[@mitathehermita]

I own a zoomer. The foot rest is what impressed my nurse’s the most. I do appreciate it. They explained how wheelchair feet always trip people up so the swing away feature was nice. I find the chair pretty comfortable and easy to get into. I’ve never used the basket but it seems handy. It’s pretty quiet and quite maneuverable. I can’t believe my turn radius! Even people are impressed by the tight spaces I can navigate. I can turn around in an elevator. I love the independence it’s given me. My chair stays charged fairly long.

[@troypettit2332]

Heck yeahh mitathehermita! That’s so awesome. I completely agree! The footrest is the best part. It makes turning around in an elevator so easy. I’ve used a regular wheelchair at the airport and hospital and those footrests are wack. Haha They stick out so far at a crazy angle and you have to mess with them because they work separately. I’m stoked for you! and feel the same way about my independence.

[@richardlisacki2250]

How much do they sell for?What is the weight without the battery? Can you lift the chair

[@troypettit2332]

To be honest my wonderful mother got it for me. I think it’s around 3k In Canada and I think there’s only one seller here, in Edmonton. And I think it’s just under 50lbs without the battery and just over with it. I can’t really lift it because my balance while standing is a problem. All the weight seems to be around the wheels, motors, battery and most people could pick it up without a problem.

[@ellakoch7628]

Can you show us the foot exercise device you show in this video?

[@troypettit2332]

Good call! 👊🏻. The exercise bike ?

[@ellakoch7628]

It is the unit that can be used when sitting the chair that you show in the video with the zoomer . Not actually a bike but a person can peddle it ...what is it ?

[@troypettit2332]

Ahh yeah. Sorry. I think that’s just a portable exercise bike. It’s exactly like the “sunny health and fitness magnet mini exercise bike” on Amazon. I didn’t buy it and I’m not home right now so I don’t know for sure but it’s exactly like that one.

[@troypettit2332]

Those cubii mini elliptical machines look cool too. A little less like a bike motions and probably a bit easier 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@rogerryan4926]

Can you buy this in the UK

[@Pennystockid]

Just bought the zoomer chair. Thanks man!

[@troypettit2332]

🙌🏻 That’s so awesome!! I’m sure you’ll love it. Sorry for the late response, I’ve been battling this heat hah. Finally hooked up my A/C yesterday.

[@Pennystockid]

Troy Pettit I’m from Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Houston Texas, I know all about that heat! LOL

[@Pennystockid]

Impossible to put in my car... ESPECIALLY for MS people in our condition. Way too heavy and bulky. Makes me mad haha😡

[@troypettit2332]

No way. That’s cool! You would know about the heat. 😅

[@troypettit2332]

That fkn sucks to hear dude. :/ I’m pretty sure it is 50lbs but it has a large frame and seems awkward for some and not others. All the weight is by the wheels and motors. I don’t lift it though so What do I know. I think my Uber driver hurt his back lifting it the other day. He said he didn’t lol.

[@getoffmyramp]

I am down AF with the zoomer! Frig that kd smart chair yo!

[@troypettit2332]

Hahaa 😭 I have to agree.

[@Benny-j6u]

I hope it worked good for you buddy but my old man was 126 lb this piece couldn't go over a transition between carpet and linoleum for over three grand there is way cheaper better models on Amazon

[@murf003]

Yeah man, good stuff also, hooray for the Nine a club Hat, the guys be stoked to see this

[@troypettit2332]

LosLoamHowler haha thanks!! 👊🏻That’s hilarious.

[@letanyabaucom951]

How much do cost

[@richardlisacki2250]

Can you lift the chair in and out of your vehicle yourself?

[@troypettit2332]

I had to stop driving a couple of years ago but I use Uber a lot and they have no problem with it!

[@eric11807]

Can you take with you on airplane?

[@troypettit2332]

Yeah. It’s easy. You just take the battery with you onto the plane.

[@stevelapienski3242]

How wide is it?

[@troypettit2332]

Hey! The manual says 25” I’m measuring a little over 24” from the outside of the arm rests but it’s likely 25 at the rear wheels/ widest point.

[@marialinder1295]

Zeno volum can’t hear it at all
