It's terrific that you are trying new things. Keep it up! That's the best way to learn.

So smart..🎉 I am going to try it.

I just want something that can handle an unplowed snowy sidewalk.

great idea if you are able to move your legs. The Idea could be modify for a paraplegic I suppose

This thing is beautiful! You nailed literally everything. I can’t get over the fact the seat is an office chair. Looks so clean from the side!

Awesome job. I am passing this on to my son. He is a tinkerer and has wheelchairs, maybe he can get some ideas from your build. God bless ya.

Thanks for the info!

Fabulous ideas. Thank you for sharing

But you did let us see how it works.

Cost efficient

Very inspirational. Last comments were over a year ago, but this deserves to be seen by anyone with a disability. I am wheelchair bound and live next to the ocean. Slowly building up parts to make a beach accessible electric wheelchair for myself using an old wheelchair frame I had. Going onto the beach is why I moved here and I have to adapt a tad to be able to do so. Like so many others I am disgusted with the price of anything having to do with disabilities. Looking for an off-road electric wheelchair and the ones that boast being affordable are asking over 5k. That is around 4k more than I have to spend on a chair. Only issue I am running into at the moment is how expensive the raw parts are. I have about 75% of the parts I need and had spent around 600.00 USD so far… and that was trying my best to be fragile. I still need a few more Fat Tires and rims and those are not cheap. Thank you again for posting this.

great design sir... can i get your permission to make one like yours for my disabled mother-in-law? Thanks

Hey Shawn, I was watching at your video and I think it is a great design. I have a disability and I am looking to make my own Diy wheelchair, I already made 3 versions of it but I like the simpicity of your design, do you mind if I use some of your design ideas for myself? Thanks!

this looks like the prototype for the Mountain Trike

Nice work, I wonder if the small wheel was at an angle wouldn’t that help the wheel stay straight. The front fork on a bike is at an angle that helps keep the wheel straight, shove a bike & let it go & it will correct itself & stay upright.

Is this project done is this guy still around

You are brilliant. Inspiring too. I have MS and I know the day I'll need one is coming. I'm looking for ideas, I spotted the office chair, do you do this kind of thing for work? Thank you

genius, foudn this looking for my next chair - I think youre awesome!

OMG I love you Wheel chair

Oh my gosh it worked

I like your accent, your attitude and your chair

have you not thought of powering it 2 x 49 v hub motors

Where can you get the off road wheel chair wheels at a reasonable price ? Everything i have found is 400.dollars for a pair or higher ?

i like it , its similar to Trekinetic - All Terrain (you can see that to get more idea), please update us with this as its looks so good and so cheap. please make a full video .love to hear from you soon. will be waiting for the updated video

Any updates?

How mohse ruppess

Firstly my good man, don't ever apologise for a wonderful Yorkshire accent! Most of my wife's family are from Hull! And secondly, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for recognising that us mere mortals cannot afford these things! I'm currently looking into funding for a Grit Freedom Chair, which is a very similar thing to what you've designed and built for yourself. I say 'looking into', because I know full well that I won't be able to get the funding to be able to afford this thing. Firstly, it's manufactured in America (the first hurdle I've got to negotiate), secondly, as you've rightly pointed out, these things cost an absolute arm and a leg, (it works out at nearly 5 grand for goodness sake!) and thirdly, at least 90% of the funding available for these things is aimed at kids, or least for people under the age of 25! I'm a 48 year old man, for goodness sake, what chance have I got! I want to enjoy what life I've got left, I want to go off the beaten track a bit. So I need something like this! But I can't afford it. I wish the manufacturers of these things, would get it into their skulls that the very people that need these things, are also the poorest people in our societies, the disabled people who, generally speaking are on benefits! I guess what I'm trying to say, is congratulations for taking matters into your own hands, and actually building one of these things yourself, and getting yourself out of the predicament that many of us find ourselves in.

I like the design, can you give me the measurements? Congratulations

I like your thinking and concept .I am just starting a wheelchair convertion for my diasbled wife so she will be able to go on the local beach .I am no engineer far from it , And yes it is nearly a crime for what fork's charge to buy beach wheelchair's and I don't know How they can charge nearly £600 for a convertion wheelchair kit so it can go on the beach . it is because of this and the fact there are many disabled people who are missing out of not being able to enjoy going on a beach including my wife that I have taken on this Project .keep up the good work . Ps when are you going to add a electric motor to you new designed wheel chair .

WOW. What a great job. Do you take commissions?

I like the idea of this very much! I'm surprised you call it heavy at 18kg...my standard wheelchair I bought secondhand here in France comes in at 23 kg. Itld be great to see some footage of you using this too! I'm looking really for an electric wheelchair solution now as I'm starting to have trouble with my hands now.

AppCrook works, all other sites only pretends to work and do nothing

*Love this thing•ᴥ•>**share4.photo/Trike?31たa** I bought mine to use at work because I am in a large warehouse moving small boxes around. The only problem I had was with the fenders, I could not get them to not rub so I just took them off. I customized it a little (Because, why not?) as you can see from the photos. Everything I added was bought here on Amazon..*

Could I get more information from you about the hub conversion from wheelchair to mountain bike wheels? I am in the process of rebuilding my folding chair with bigger front wheels and a back out-rigger that folds flat. Moving the wheel mounts just to the front of my center line sitting in the chair for better torque and stability.

Simple and perfect.

Greetings Shawn, please get in touch with me. [email protected] www.spartanwheelchariots.com Thanks

so you think you could roll the chair with just the tires and not need the push ring? I can still walk but but not much without my legs hurting like hell. I think I would like wheels on the front like a normal wheelchair like the one you have on the back.

USB to double micro usb and a phono to phono for the speakers. But it all depends what charger your going to use and what speakers or amp.

Can you talk me about what gadgets and leads did you buy to connect to the google home mini to get free music from youtube. I only have a google home mini at the moment. If you can explain the step by step of what to buy and how to connect, i'll appreciate it. Thanks in advance

Amazing work - thank you very much for taking the time to share the process and specs with us. I'm in a similar boat to you and many people commenting in that the all terrain chairs available commercially are way out of my price range (given limited disability income), and this could be a life changing innovation. If you're around this channel & still answering questions at all, might I ask why you chose to put the wheel on the back rather than the front? A lot of designs I've seen place the third (child bike) wheel on the front, and leave a back wheel off completely, which cuts down on length and theoretically makes it a little more portable. Your thoughts?

Amazing, so talented. Just what I could do with , I've been looking for an off road chair but they are stupid money .

Howdy Shawn, and bravo for your gumption and ingenuity you have earned my admiration.

Sorry about the accent?? I love your accent!

your middle tube should be a triangle. (not just a single tube) so weld 2 other sides from each front-wheel-axle back to the steering-tube (on each side) to make it a triangle . that one can not bend. actually your construction flexes, rather than bends. (rotates around your single tube) the triangle will prevent this. (sorry English is not my first language) edit: what happened to your first version? that one looked good.

This is a joke!! Show me how it works! Its all talk!

Yeah I know I'm having the same problem with chairs are so expensive so I decide to make my own I met him one that goes 10 miles per hour then I'm making a second one that could 45 50 miles per hour that is controlled by a video game controller

Nice but needs some gusset plates or triangulation IMO, there is a lot of leverage on that square section tube. I'm V interested in how it lasts as my son is in a chair.

Looks good, the only major thing I would have changed would have been to move the axle to the bottom of the main bar.

music always costed money what do you mean music shouldn't cost money

I think you have more angle between the frame and rear wheel fork, like a bike.
