I'm so glad you love your new chair. Congratulations!
You crazy amazing woman! I love watching your videos and now you are uploading a ton! Love it! I want this wheelchair! In the process of getting one
Thank you ,your honesty makes it easy For my daughter
Thank you for this review. I've been looking for a new chair and I have always had Invacare chairs in the past but KI has been recommended to me several times but wasn't sure, but looking at your review, I honestly like the look of the chair. Thanks!
Thanks for making this review. We have just ordered a Ki Wave for our 6 year old with mag wheels. He was in an action junior but it was so heavy and he gave up pushing after a while
I was looking for a thumb guard, but wasn't sure what they were called, and didn't want to pay for something that didn't end up being what I needed. This covers exactly what I was looking for in wheels. Thank you.
i loooove my ki rogue, i have mine in the dark but bright blue, painted the parts that would be anodized.. a bright neon green, and i love the chairs looks, its performance, its fast, its responsive. it is SUPER LIGHT.. i swear by the rogue, and tilites, i wont use anythig else...when i replace my 2 chairs, i will be getting a tilite tra, and another rogue
Thank you for your review. I have just ordered this chair for myself. Having someone explain all the options they have and how they work for them is great. Love your gloves as well.
@[SomethingToxic] Oh no, seriously? From what?
The gloves are really interesting! Not because of this video, I just ordered my Rogue 2 as well.
Good review, we need more of this. So little around in terms of wheelchair reviews and accessories.
As you said about the wheels, they are, like most things, a very personal choice but I have used Spinergy's on both my last purchases and will be with my third shortly. They are super tough, you only need watch Aaron Fotheringham to see how tough. And unlike metal spoked wheels I have had in the past, the Spinergy's have been completely maintenance free even though they are a spoked design.
Wheels like everything on the chair are expensive so it's not like they are somet you swap and change at will but I would decor recommend them for anyone looking at a new chair or wheels.
Love your videos!
Thank you for the review, I have recently gotten my 2nd wheelchair & it a ti lite TRA. All I can say is I went thru NuMotion to get the chair & I will never use them again. I can't say anything really bad about ti lite has I do not believe they had done anything wrong, however I am not happy either. However I do love my Smart Drive!!
lovely review! Thank you. Blessings !
Thanks for the great review, I was looking at a Quickie 7R but can get little help from the customer service, it's good to know that Ki Mobility is good to deal with. I have been in a chair for 25 years and it's so important to find a good company and a whair that's comfortable, durable and light. The x core wheels look good, I have had good luck with Spinergy LX 13 spoke which are also strong and low to matanence free.
I have had Quickie chairs, but after a local Texas company was installing a ramp for my new home, saw my Quickie was a bit old, they purchased a TiLite for me, and I was never so happy. Once I sat in the chair, it was so solid of a chair. So easy to push. I am now on my third Ti lite. They are good chairs. Made in America!!!
@@Duddie82 My first chair was TiLite and they're great chairs! My 2nd chair is the 2015 Rogue and I believe I'm getting another. While shopping around I came across this review which reinforces my decision.
Customer service IS above and beyond❣️
I'm glad you have a wheelchair
Great video
I have an Acta-Back too! I love mine, it helps a lot with my bulging disks
Congratulations on your replacement chair, trust me when I say you are not missing anything by not getting spokes... As for air filled tires I have just switched over to them and am trying them out, I hope they work well, however i still have my inserts in case I need to switch back...
Would you tell me more about the difference and your preference and why? I do lots of off road and always thought pneumatics were the way to go so I can deflate for rocks, sand, snow, etc.
Hi :). I am glad to see you have your new chair! I have a wolturnus w5 (in black with the heavy build frame) with the same front wheels as you have. They are awesome! I felt terrible after you put up the video that your chair was damaged beyond repair. How heavy is your chair? Mine is 16kg + 6kg of my smartdrive which would add up to about 45lbs if i am correct. Its heavy to put in the car. But i can move around with only one finger. Hugs from the Netherlands, Thomas.
maine ugh i lived in maine from feb 2004 through june 2009 now im happy in UT but im nuts as usual. and none of that has anything to do with your video. AWESOME CHAIR u should put sone leds all over it
Also, have you ever considered (especially now that you'll be training 1 prospect puppy) training service dogs for others? You really seem to have a nac for it! I totally get it if thats too much with all the other stuff going on with your health constantly, but I just had to ask.
I need a lightweight wheelchair that can easily be taken apart and can easily be moved around manually without the wheels sticking - plus I want the breaks to not stick either like my current thrift store chairs... I want footrests, obv and one of my chairs doesn't have that. i want space, and also I want a backpack to be able to attach to it.
Any suggestions?
You did a great job with the review. You should think about speaking for work. You seem to be a natural. Go umaine!! I'm a u Fitchburg state myself. I'm researching a wheel chair that would work for myself. I'm just getting started. I may give your company a call and see if they have a branch in Massachusetts. Thanks for the great video.
Buggsie is adorable! I just had to say it.
What are you doing with your old chair I need a used one I have tried to go found me but I can't seem to spread the word
i have the same wheels lol. i love them
That's MY chair. Down to the color. I have the matte finish.
What kind of cushion do you have? The one I have is not very comfortable.
Love you (and Bugsie) and your channel. You've truly inspired me to find my own service/medical alert dog and, even though it didn't work out with my first prospect, I know there's a puppy out there somewhere for me and I refuse to give up until I find my little furry soulmate. Watching your videos keeps me focussed and less discouraged about my past experiences so I can finally see the day when I reach my goals. Also, thank you for the wheelchair reviews! I'm so sorry for all the crap you dealt with regarding your last chair. I have a crummy hospital wheelchair atm but am really getting serious about a custom chair I can actually move around in. Any tips about finding the right chair for you?
How have things been going for you since this comment? What's it like adjusting to having a service dog? I was in the process of licensing/ registering my cat for service training when he died 😔💔 and I want to prepare for a dog experience...
I’m testing a tilite right now I’m also like you were I’m semi Mobile but need a wheelchair for safety and getting around. I was recently recommended the Ki rogue so I was wondering if you tried the tilite? And if so what are your thoughts?
1:40 I might have if you hadn't pointed it out. :)
4:14 My current footplate is like...rough sandpaper...? I don't like it at all, but this wheelchair has had, I guess you could say, a rough start.
5:16 Mag wheels? I do like them.
6:01 I've tried solid tires, but I found they're just too stiff and I can feel every little bump, which made me feel unsure.
your Wheelchair is very beautiful..
oh froglegs has frog guards to keep out the yuck, i have them on both chairs, get em ! you wont regret it ;-) they really do kep out carpt lint hair and even dirt mud and such
So with the tubeless tires...the tread last longer? For 5 years now, I've had tubed air tires and it's ridiculous how fast the treads wear out.
i have a ki mobility tsunami. its the best. i have a question about my tires, and back. I have a long back and i really think a small back like the one you have will be better. does it fir you nice and comfy
I just got this chair 2 days ago. Do you find that it’s easy for it to tip and potentially fall ? (I do have the anti tip wheels down so falling forward is my issue) I also find it difficult to lean back in. I’m hoping to get these issues fixed next week.
i hope u got it fixed but it sounds like u just need some adjustments to your center of balance.
super vreau si eu un scaun rulant ca acela . super frumos imi place :)
Beautiful done sister
Hey! Appreciate the review! Looks really simple to take apart (saw your car video too!) I’m just about to get a car and my wheelchair right now is a ti lite aero z I think.. but it weighs like 30lbs!
How much does yours weigh when you take wheels off to put in car? You’re just leaning your seat back and setting chair parts behind you? What type of SUV have you found works for you? If you have time to get back to me, id be grateful!!!
Looks like she's busy... My rogue without wheels is < 5lbs. I've removed arm rests, brakes, and everything.
My daughter just got a Rouge. I really like it but we are making adjustments. That footplate is giving me the blues and I have to make more room in my trunk to place the chair. Also where did you get the seat cover Thanks Go Black Bears !!!!!
Do you mind if I ask how much you payed for the chair? I'm in the market for one as well
How much extra were those Xcore wheels?
With these mad rims can you actually take the hard rubber out and replace it with the regular bike tire equivalent??? Thank you very much
Hi-I am not sure but I think I'd want to have both the pneums and solids on seperate rims for easy transfer; same for street thins and pneuma knobbies...
You don't find the solid tires a lot rougher than the pneumatic ones?
SoleEpiphany
My son has used the tires with inserts for the better part of his life. He is 31. Got his first chair at age 2(we still have it). It’s like his “first shoes”. Anyway he has done great with them. From a maintenance aspect and reliability I feel it is well justified. Call it one less thing he worries about. Flats. They seem to grip well and roll true. Not as hard as the narrow solid type. But they are bulkier.
do you ever run over his feet?
is that a new vest on bug
which brand is yur back i couldn't get it
I have a question, What do you have wrapped around your hands I'm a quadriplegic and it looks like it might be helpful for me
Chris Tiner it's the hand band pro. They offer a free pair to wheelchair users, I believe!
Jordie ___ Thank you I'll have to check them out.
I JUST FOUND OUT MY SPOKES NEED TUNING?
Hi! I see that you have the Natural Fit LT handrims, what’s the diff between the STD or Super Grip Natural Fit?
The thumb guard on the STD natural fit grip is a less grippy material than the super grip. There are good photos of each on the Rogue page on the Ki website (under "options").
What are the purple wraps around your hands called, and where did you get them? :)
They were called hand brands pro.
Thanks where can I get a cover like that ,, oh nice bac but it's to bulky yes
Have you needed to update your chair since this video? The back on mine is different and drives me crazy! I would love to connect. My shoulder blades have been irritated since day one.
Unfortunately she has passed away since this video was posted.
How price this chair please reply kerna ji.
what are throes things on your hands called and would you recommend the ki mobility rouge to anyone who might be put in a wheelchair
She's wearing wheelchair gloves :)

Could u do a glove review?
coco mac n

+Faith Mepham

Can I order from India .?
Hey can you help me get one like yours in Ghana
I really wish I knew what your hand protection is I want it
kris brennan it's the hand band pro. They offer a free pair to wheelchair users, I believe!
Oh yea, what type of back is that? I didn’t catch that!!
Looks like she doesn't reply? If you haven't already, check the description and contact Ki.
Regardless of any extra bulk, I'm definitely interested in the support it looks secure and comfortable!! I even like the look of it.
Great review, aye?
@@artistaloca4 I think she died, and so can’t reply
I am getting my first service dog soon can you answer me back
I hope you got one. At the very least they are a great comfort knowing you are not alone and they are there to help you. Train them to do something for you if you get into a jam (such as picking something up), so you will feel more confident.
Talk about bugsies new vest
I concur. That new vest is spiffy and the bright green really makes the patches pop.
You mean the footrest rotated, not bent
What is camber angle?
Looks to be about 14° on her's
@@artistaloca4 but what does it mean?
@@GOLDVIOLINbowofdeath Oh- lol, my bad!! 😂
It's when the wheels are tilted outwardly; as in those you see on basketball courts and other sports. It's to give more stability and I've heard better control, but I use camber to gain distance with each push; the kinetic energy goes to forward motion.
Hope this helped? ☺️
Solid tries... Regular tires that could be air filled had one opted to insert tubes instead, this person has opened for the rubber inserts. Rubber inserts are a pain to install without proper eq, and once installed are quite a bit different weight-wise than an air-filled tire with a tube. I would speak to a TiLite Rep., before buying any chair today. I am a 32 year L-3 Inc., Paraplegic so over the years I have owned maybe a dozen different chairs, and the TOP chairs of the day was Quickie, they really dropped in quality since 2005, and I have not checked back with them other than to visit their website. I have owned a TiLite chair and I recommend them, and Kuschall today as the top makers. There are many other makers out there who make fine products. I do not know anything about Rogue chairs, but as a personal preference I do not like the fat-tubing as I call it, technology offers other options with slimmer tubing and let bulky looking chairs that can be difficult in tight spots, and those are heavier by some factor. This lady looks like she has what she wants and that is all that matters, I am simply offer my suggestion as someone who has made the mistake of buying the wrong chair, be certain to look a few months prior to a replacement chair. If it is your first chair, it always pays to listen to what your P.T. says since she will be the one who measures you for that first chair, and she knows about which chairs receive complaints as well as who stands behind the product... Happy to answer your questions should you have any, I am a long-timer, draw on my experience.
My Insurance wont cover for a wheel chair
Mine neither and my doc won't write for it.
@@erinnorwood6124 and Jordan M. Well don't feel bad guys.... even though your comments where written 4 years ago.. my insurance will cover a for a new wheelchair but it won't cover one that looks like that.. it will buy only the very old fashion chairs from the 70's - 80's (none lightweight type).
