Customize your own 'Not-a-Wheelchair' right here: https://NotaWheelchair.com/ We wanted to create something affordable, and capable and I think we've done it. Huge thanks to Utah Trikes for their help designing and manufacturing The Rig. We hope it brings as many miles of happiness, adventure, and exploration to you as it has done for us. Designing an affordable bike that happens to be accommodating has taken us more than a year and a half. Of course we plan on building and improving The Rig over the next few years. We welcome all suggestions for improvement in the comments! Let us know what you think!

So about a year ago, I welded two electric bikes together as an off-road wheelchair of sorts to surprise my then girlfriend cambrie and then almost immediately after that we put our brains together to figure out ways to improve it. We'Ve come a long way now my wife and I have a surprise for you guys. Our whole goal was to make an affordable and capable off-road wheelchair and mass-producing we'd like to introduce not a wheelchair. We call it the rig, let's get started, so we've been through several different versions of this rig over the past year, and now we finally have something really excited about it's hard to define exactly what this is. You know what do you call a chair with four wheels: off-road capabilities, totally silent, super fast and a great long range, I'm not really sure either, but it's definitely not a wheelchair. So let me tell you a little bit about the rig. It'S got the four tires. It'S got the single motor with a solid rear axle in the back, so there's traction between both of those tires and it's actually designed to have weight in the back. We have six different mounting points so that you can put rack for a wheelchair or coolers for camping all kinds of stuff back here. The rig is mostly built from bike parts from the rotors calipers hydraulic, brake system, the ebike motor and the ebike batteries. The version cambree's riding right now has two batteries on the back. The batteries on the back determine how far the rig can go. One battery can go anywhere from 10 to 20 miles, depending on how much weight the rig is carrying with the front bumper off. The rig is exactly five feet: long and 32 inches wide, meaning that the rig can fit in the back of shortbed pickups, with a tailgate up and also jeeps and even Subaru Outback s. --, it's a fairly portable system and being 32 inches wide means it can fit through most doorways plus. The bike has the ability to go forward and reverse, which is fairly beneficial. Thank you. Wait worth so there's some off-road vehicles that are very loud. Ours is not one of those, since it's totally electric there's, literally no sound coming from the motor, which makes for a more realistic nature. Experience. Personally, I love my light. Blue rig we've put over a thousand miles on it, and it's taking me places I never in a million years thought I could go like on a hike to a waterfall in Hawaii or up the canyon on pack snow, which are all places I wouldn't be able To go in my normal wheelchair we've taken the rig in quite a few different places up the canyon paved roads, dirt, roads, gravel roads and it does handle pretty well, but it does struggle a bit with loose sand loose snow. You know, kind of like any bike. Would remember this is definitely not a wheelchair and doesn't have the fine tuning or precision that you would normally find in a medical device. It'S definitely a bike with all the quirks and maintenance that comes with all bikes. It'S not beach ready and has no IP water resistance rating. Yet, but maybe at some point in the future, we have to leave some things to look forward to with version 2. Whenever that comes out, we teamed up with the largest trike manufacturer in the United States. Utah trikes to build this contraption and since we use bike parts for most of the construction replacement, parts and tools are easy to find and can be purchased all over the internet or from local bike shops. So cambrie did want this thing to be super fast, but for her safety, I've limited it to 12 miles an hour. You may be curious where you can take this rig and according to the American Disability Act or the ad, a other power driven mobility devices are allowed to go in all areas where members of the public are allowed to go, which is basically everywhere. So if you are driving the rig and have a medically recognized physical impairment, you can basically go anywhere as long as it's safe. If you want to buy one of these and you don't have a physical impairment, you can still ride it, of course, but there may be more restrictions as to where you can go. So you might be asking yourself a hey Jerry. How does cambrie get in and out of the chair, and it's actually pretty easy down here at the bottom there's a little latch that I can unclip and the handle tilts totally backwards. Cambree can grab her chair undo her feet from the little velcro things remember. This is not a medical device, it's a modified electric bike that just happens to be more accessible, the throttles taken from an electric bike, the motors taken from an electric bike. Even the batteries are taken from an electric bike. You might be thinking as well that off-road wheelchairs are super expensive and you're right. Normal off-road wheelchairs can cost anywhere from ten to twenty thousand dollars. This not a wheelchair, only costs four thousand seven hundred and fifty, which is half the price and twice the specs of a normal off-road wheelchair. We do have a totally stock version. That'S a thousand dollars cheaper, but it doesn't have the drop-down handles suspension and it just comes in black. We are ready to start manufacturing these right now. I will leave a link down in the video description. There'S no Kickstarter or anything or you just go to not a wheelchair comm and will start shipping in September 2020. All right cambrie. I think. That'S it anything else. We should mention yeah. If you want to help out with this project, you can go to our website where there's a donation page and you can donate any amount. You want to help us get these to more people that can use them and come hang out with us on instagram at not a wheelchair, we'll be sharing our own adventures, as well as the adventures of other people who have these contraptions. You know the most important thing is to be safe, use the buddy system where but have fun thanks dumb for watching we'll see you around
Comments
Shloke Sarkar: This guy is honestly trying to make a difference and he always succeeds
The Third View: As an avid outdoorsman, I absolutely love this! EVERYONE deserves to experience the healing medicine of going deep into wilderness.
Miracle Emery: I am SO excited about this! I could off road! You can totally carry one of those solar charging battery packs along with you and have limitless charging capabilities. My family has been trying to convince me to get a mobility scooter but I hate everything about them, this however, this I'm showing my husband right now!
Chunk of Sugar: As a guy in a wheelchair for 24 years, this is so very cool. I have seen loads of accessible equipment and much of it makes me go, meh. but this really looks great to be able to go on trails...something I haven't done in 20 years. Nice
Stephen Davis: I have mobility issues that have left me with a disability. I applaud your work because no one is trying to create quality of life products for the disabled and people with mobility issues. Good luck as you develop this and let me know when you have strengthen and lengthened the Rig for big and tall folks.
Sujit Kanti Chakma: "necessity is the mother of invention", they said. I say, "Zach has a giant priceless heart". ♥️
Adam Kerns-Isley: Absolutely amazing! We need more people like this... Less drama with politics and more empathy,not sympathy for those of us with disability and/or unexpected hurdles
Bitcoinist: OMG this just totally messed with my head. Kind of feel like crying and laughing at the same time. I have a disability that has negatively affected my life in many ways. A big way is in the type of work I can do but I have always just dealt with that and done what I can. The main thing that really REALLY gets to me is in my personal life being out and about. I have always been an outdoors person and loved nature. Many of my family and friends are the same, they enjoy surfing, mountain biking, mountaineering, climbing, running and more. These are all things I would like to do but sadly have never been able to. I try to get out a lot anyway and go for walks but the dream of even walking up hills or mountains (despite living in Scotland) is pretty much non existent. I go out with people all the time and drive to awesome places, then they go off up the hills and I admire the view from relatively close to the car. Despite all this I just reside myself to the fact that this is how life is for me and I am still lucky to be here and be able to at least live here and experience some of the most fantastic landscapes and scenery in the world right on my doorstep. The big worry I have now is that one of my three young children also inherited my condition and now struggles with her mobility. We were just out yesterday in the hills going to a waterfall and cooking dinner in the wilderness. All was amazing but we could barely venture anywhere far on the trails etc as it’s just not viable. I have always wondered how she will deal with the stress and frustrations I have endured all my life watching from the sidelines as most other people do all the things I would love to do. It was all playing on my mind last nignt after we got home from being in the mountains. Then by some strange coincidence this video just randomly appears in my suggested videos here on YouTube. To say the range of emotions as I watched it were vast would be an understatement. Something like this could get us out much much further than we ever could do before. What a great vehicle and what a great show of skill and determination here. You two seem like a great couple who live a full life that is not bound by limitations that most would let stump them. I will have to go on to your website and see if there is any way one of these can be shipped to us here in Scotland UK. Amazing and inspirational. I am now imagining me and my daughter miles from the car tackling terrain that we could never even contemplate before. This has utterly made my day and made me feel way more positive about what my daughter will be able to experience in her life. Also once again showed me that where there is a Will there is always a way if enough mind power is devoted to solving a problem. Best wishes to you both and I hope that you guys enjoy it and also hope that this brings much value to millions of people around the world. Absolutely amazed and impressed, thank you
Furious Mayhem: I always wanted to start a wilderness camp for physically challenged kids. I've seen Texas A&M develop a saddle that allowed a paralyzed rider to enjoy horseback riding, watched some kayakers do the same, and now this. I'm a hiker and a camper and this would be awesome on so many of the trails I've been on. God bless you. This will open so many opportunities for so many.
Jesse Saxon: I’ve been crippled by sports injuries before and this opens up a whole new world of freedom and thrills for the confined. To exit the realm of pathed paths and designated ramps is massive. I love it
Zequinox 00: This just shows what a person can do for someone they love.
Sierra Jane: I've been a subscriber of yours for years and years, I recently got my first wheelchair because of spinabifida occulta/military injuries. It's nice to just know that even though I've become limited, I still have creators like to look to for help. I love you keep it coming!
Guberif games: You are amazing and I'm so happy the world has people like you, I would love to get one of these for my step-dad because he loves the outdoors but has COPD and can no longer hike not to mention haul around his O2 tanks and his wheelchair extremely limits where he can go. Sadly I can't afford to since I'm on a limited income and struggle to make sure I have enough gas in my car for emergencies, but keep up the good fight the world is better having the two of you in it
Denis Degullacion: Jerry you nail it again. Wish this was available when my Dad was alive. He had a stroke and could only move his left hand and leg. He love the outdoors especially the beach. He was a seaman before taking a land job and retire. I am in Malaysia - Borneo Island. Cheers.
charlemange Dan: Brilliant idea ! Looks like fun for everyone ! I wish you both great success with your clever invention
Charlie Johnstone: This is how businesses should start. A passion project that turned into a product. Love it
Josiah Wilkin: Hey this is the greatest thing I have ever seen, I have been researching how to build my own wheelchair, and this is valuable information. Any tips or extra thoughts? Also when is V2 coming? I would love to beta test one lol. Keep the great content up guys!!!
Duarte Lopes: Love what your doing. A little suggestion, maybe you can use larger wheels with deep rims or special tracks to use in sand and if possible use a low rpm high torque mode on the motors or use mountable tracks
Corinne Mann: I'm totally impressed! You've really thought of everything! This is going to give so many people freedom!!!
Dwight Taaitsohii: I would love to get one for my mom. This would make family trips so much easier and fun for my mom.
Hiznogood: Thanks for sending Scar a Rig! The smile on his face where priceless! He’s a guy that spread so much joy and happiness to his viewers and he totally is worth the freedom The Rig offers him!
peter starling: I wish I could afford one here in the UK, I'm paraplegia and my electric chair is good but can't do anything like this. It so well thought out I was wondering how you get out but you showed how and it was great I love it already. Keep going into hope you have this business goes global as soon as possible. Good luck!
Raphael Chaitas: I love everything about this. Good job mate.
Natural: You and your family are amazing! As a person with limited mobility that will get worse sometimes you feel depressed knowing you will miss out on certain activities, this makes a lot of them possible again! I will be visiting your site...THANK YOU THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE SEEN IN A LOOOOOONG TIME!!!
TheMadSciantist: Love this build! It's quite brilliant how you removed the motor from the rim and attached a sprocket to where the disc for the brake would attach. I actually have a 750 watt electric bike wheel that I just recently cracked and bent and can no longer use and after seeing this video it has given me the idea of removing the rim and using the motor separately.
Péter Sági: Now this is the kinda project that many more YouTubers and generally people with money and influence should do! Really great stuff!
Track 7 The band: It's hard to see him play this off like he just built a electric wheelchair when he really gave so many people the freedom and opportunity to live like they don't have to be in a wheelchair. The respect I have for something like this is over the moon.
Michelle Adamchak: All it takes is one person to make a change. This is such a welcome invention. As a mobility challenged elder person, I can honestly say this is life changing. Now I can go to the beach, go on trails, take walks with my family. You've made me part of my active family once again, and for that, I am grateful. ❤❤
Kiolito: Amazing project dudes. I used to think about build something like this since a while. They look awesome.
James Cromartie: This is an awesome creation, and can't wait to see it go into production. Is there a possibility to use a slight wider footprint on the tires/wheels and chance to add an air adjustment system for the tires? That way you would be able to air down a little for the softer terrains ie sand and snow for a better more manageable contact patch ( I know you more than likely have looked into this but thought I would ask).
Hendrik Wiekenberg: A single thumb on YouTube is simply not enough to express my respect for Zack and his social projects.
David Atkins: So very glad to see you guys moving forward with this special project; being disbled myself adds to my amazement and joy for you both. I can wlak right now but it won't be long before I am totally unable to walk and I will then be ready to enjoy one of these works of art! Until then.
7 Rivers east: Buddy , you two have struck GOLD ! Great product . I can see it utilized in many places including the tourism industry as daily rentals , vacation hotspots, theme parks, on-board yachts for day excursions and RV manufacturers incorporating it into their motorhomes . The applications are mind boggling..
ANDREA MACLACHLAN: This is awesome!! First and foremost for disabled folk, and now in today's crazy times, this is a real alternative transport option. I would love something like this to get myself and youngest children into town for shopping etc. With my back issues, a bicycle won't work. Very inspiring!!
Mike iddings: That’s one of the best things I’ve seen lately. Thanks for building such a bike. I don’t need one myself yet but I have friends that would love it.
Bekahoot: Just saw GoodTimeswithScar's video about this rig. He is a disabled Minecraft player whose videos are incredibly inspiring. Thanks for sending it to him!
Michelle Boyes: This is so amazing that you designed this for your wife.Your going to give people so much freedom!!
Andres Montana: This is awesome. I'm envisaging the ways this device could empower a disabled person to experience things they could only dream of.
Mark Hood: This looks very awesome, I'm been in a wheelchair for 13 years and a avid outdoorsman or which I was. Because now I have to have help getting somewhere to hunt and thanks to my brothers to help. But they have to push me to a certain spot and bring all my equipment to me. I would love to be able to afford one of these so I can go where I want to be at to hunt. When I do get one I can put a rack on the back to haul my stuff around. So thanks for the info and maybe I'll be able to get one...
Cheryl Ownbey: This is fantastic! Thanks to you both for coming up with the Rig.. Wonderful video and excellent presentation. I am a Resource/Special Ed. Teacher and will promote this to others in wheelchairs. So many feel so restricted by their chairs and you found a great solution!!
Fat BaldGuy: As a disabled veteran I thank you for making this available to folks that need it. From the bottom of my heart ❤️ say THANK YOU !!
ElizabethGronlund& GachaGurl: This is awesome! Iwish I could afford to get one. I think I like this style better than the 4x4 track driven wheelchair that costs a fortune. This looks so much more stable, perfect for places like mine that have short but steep little hills and very uneven ground. Good luck with your business. You've done a great job it seems. ✌
Victor Jeffers: Awesome glad to see someone actually making a vehicle for the physically challenged to get around off road at a reasonable price !
Twice Dead Trilogy - Book 1 - Contagion: Oh how I wish I had one of these nothing like this in the UK that I have seen. You are amazing. Respect to you guys. ❤️✊
James West: Found this over on r/videos, this is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. You two are beautiful together. I'm a part time wheelchair user, I miss hitting the trails. I'm going to save up for this. Disability pay sucks,
SMASHANDBURN YT: "Not a wheelchair" Elon Musk "Not a flamethrower": Ah I see you're a man of culture as well
Herb Moffett: Bro you’re so awesome for doing this! The world needs more ppl like you! Keep spreading love brudda!
Joey Kahng: Man! I’ve been wrapping my head on what I can do to fabricate something like this for my pops. He loves the outdoors but since his major stroke last year, I’ve been trying to figure out the best outdoor rig. I still would love for him to be outside but he is not able to have control of any system. I would need to design something with remote access to be able to control the speed and turns remotely. I have an idea, but I’m sure I’ll get there. Thanks for sharing this AMAZING rig for your wife and others.
whearywulf: this is amazing, you two are awesome human beings and the world is better for it
Helen Carter: This is brilliant! So so good to have an all terrain mobility vehicle! The only additions in terms of complex health would be a supportive back rest with lateral supports, a headrest, and option for a neoprene harness style belt over the chest, to support those with low muscle control. Looking at custom moulded seating would be excellent for this, as it would enable full postural support for those with scoliosis, mnd, cerebral palsy, pressure issues due to low weight etc.
Jesper Linde: This guy have a heart and a soul that is so beautiful. That guy does everything for his lovely wife and at the same time helping others! I love it! Hats off for you Zack❤️
M. Doughnutz: This looks so cool, I think I might be interested in getting one for myself
Martin McDowell: Truly amazing!! I noticed on louse dirt or on snow, it loses traction. Maybe if you placed seat back a little, it might have better traction.
Life's too real: This is exactly what I was thinking about with my mom who has limited mobility due to progressing MS. This would be cool so she could go on family bike rides again. Tandem bikes can be dangerous haha
ToRealWealth: OMG! This looks like fun! I'm not disabled, but sure would like to have one made for us too! I'm sure those who are disabled will feel like finely they have something that everyone else wants too. What a "concept!" Thanks for inventing.
CoreyPL: Two years from now: Cambry: Ground is starting to be boring, let's try air. Zach: I may have some ideas...
GRATEFUL OVERLANDER: Love ended up created something that has the possibility to change so many lives. Way to go guys! This is beautiful
Marvanna Schultz: Wow that looks so great I've just got into an electric wheelchair and I struggle with the joystick I just don't like it but that looks super fun for a 70 year old I could still use some fun out there
Stephen Mattison: Love this. I've been riding 3 wheeled bikes with a basket on the back for 10 years & it's the BEST bike! I've always thought the only way it could be better is wit 4 wheels.
Isaac 84: This is amazing! I hope this contraption has massive sales worldwide. *Maybe in the future have the option to add an extra pack of batteries or two, to increase the range. Other cool mods would be a collapsible roof like a convertible and even a roll bar (cage) incase the rider was doing extreme riding on rocks and it tipped over- seat belts too for off road use safety. Heck even mud guards for the wheels when rising in the rain to minimize splashing. Reflectors and a headlight or led tail lights in the rear to stay illuminated at night (These could work on a dyno like old school bicycles harnessing power from the wheels when in motion).
cheeseburger424: As an engineer, I’d like to thank you for being directly honest about what your device can and can’t do. It’s sadly all too rare nowadays
Stephen McFarlane: I have so much respect for you… Thank you for using your YouTube powers for good Proud of you ❤️
Sandy Miller: Super cool idea and I love it. I could see myself easily using one of these also to hook up a light weight small trailer to move mulch or gardening stuff around my yard.
John W: Absolutely Amazing! Disc brakes? Independent suspension? You two are amazing!!
Jamie Shows: Amazing product, sir. I wish you incredible success in getting these wonderful machines to as many people with limited mobility as possible. God's creation is meant to be enjoyed, and this marvel of ingenuity you have brought to market (at an unbelievably low price point, even) will change the world for those who can get one!
The Jurgys: Seriously making the world a better place. So pumped for all the people who are now able to adventure!!
Snow Boarder: That’s awesome! Are they being sold online? There’s a snowboarder who I know of who was in an accident and was paralyzed but loved adventure but being in a wheelchair has been hard for him. Something like this could make it easier for him to get around and go on adventures again!
JJ Syphor: could easily have replaceable wheels or something and add on snow friendly tyres or whatever. or just have a snow version. sand can be dealt with sand friendly tyres too. Minor problems that have some fixes if it really is an inconvenience but honestly the Rig is a big W. well done guys, ya'll killed it
Justin Douglas: Wow, you are the man! This is awesome! I am shocked someone hasn’t thought about it earlier and at the price point. Great video.
Google User: Wonderful product! What a service to those who want increased mobility. Bravo!
Chhana Chhakchhuak: Its impossible not to love this couple!
Kineticartist: absolutely brilliant! you two are an inspiration
Barry Man: Very cool vehicle - I think I'd love it! Wonder if there might be a bigger, stronger and faster version some day - to use it instead of a car - for two persons and some cargo as well...removable hardtop with solar charger etc...
Robert 4Wheels: Great invention. Quad for almost 40 years. Family loves the beach and well, let's just say my manual chair and sand are not friends. The weight would make traveling with the Rig challenging. Keep up the good work. Great minds and invention. I suspect you will continue to change and alter the design to make it lighter weight for easier travel.
Mousie Brown: I’d call it “The GetAround” and with it, I could finally see if my blueberry plants are still growing! Hope you’ve rigged a canvas top for shade. It’s a super garden cart, too.
Ashton Kastner: I have a girlfriend that was hit by a drunk driver two years ago and unfortunately had to give up her love for hiking due to her becoming paralyzed from her hips down. We've tried finding something like this for a long time and they're all too expensive, but I've been looking at these, and I've got to say, I think I'm about to place an order to surprise my now fiance for our 5 year aniversary!
Nancy: Love this! You two are awesome! So glad YouTube suggested this video! I will spread the word!
Gary Grinkevich: pretty great build my only concern is the trail nimby's getting on you guys, people hate what they don't understand. stay safe.
Dan Dubree: Awesome guys perfect example of how creative and practical are blended Looks to be really well made
Nick Hammer: Absolutely fantastic. You guys did a good thing. I am sure these will improve people's quality of life. God bless.
Ju Ko: "Now my WIFE and I" - Zach is a true gentleman. Love this dude.
Peter Roth: These vehicles are just amazing! Have you considered a model with some sort of a windshield?
Will Horting: Extremely cool!!!!! Too bad (for me) that the weight limit is so low.☹️...If it had wider seat, and a limit of say, 400lbs spread (350lb operator, 50lb for gear on the rear portion), this would be something I would definitely be interested in. I am older and have to walk with a cane. So, as much as I love being out in nature, I rarely go to the trails anymore.
Big Jay: Hopefully you are blessed beyond recognition for your ingenuity this is a total blessings to find I am passing this on to people who may need it.
Beefy Croissant: I feel like using a mtb air shock for the suspension would provide a smoother ride as you can adjust a lot of things.
Kamran Nawaz: Is available in matte black. MKBHD: I'll take your entire stock.
Kerwinators vehicle care: Great to see that y’all made a business out of it
Rotorhead1651: I'm a professional mechanic with 4 decades of experience. I've worked on everything from my own bicycles to 747s. Currently, I work for a forklift maintenance company. Question: Have you considered using electric hub motors on all 4 points, and giving The Rig 4 wheel independent suspension? I realize this would make the design more complex, and thus, add to the cost, but it would also add to maneuverability and handling.
Andy churches: Great idea! Battery range might be an issue for some though.
Shane K Byford: Wow im very impressed with what I've seen so far of what you are building. I'm from the UK and I've got a disability with my right leg and my back but I still can walk but not far. Its really interesting what you are doing.
Brandon O.: I'm a chair user myself - THIS IS INCREDIBLE I've seen the prior videos and from those can certainly see a lot of thought went into this - I enjoy all the stuff on your channel but this type of stuff has a special place in my heart.
Eve Wright: That is amazing, very clever people. You have just opened the door for those who rely on wheelchairs and gives them back there independence and sense of freedom all over the world. Fantastic Invention. Cheers from Australia
Scott Carter: The twin TILLER handle steering is awesome! I have left side weakness (palsy) from a major stroke, this is exactly what I need to get mobile and back out into life :)
René Gerritsen: It is so great to see how you invented this for your wife and how these vehicles can really change someone's life. You should definitely look at fibre reinforced plastics to get the weight down. It is quite heavy in its current form. So if you ever get to redesign it, make sure you get in touch with somebody who can make a decent mould. A low (no?) maintenance body with proper water sealing could make this an even greater device.
Alexis Omnis: I wish I could get one of these in the UK. They look so fun!
Rory O'Flynn: The offical rig was a project between the two of them - but the start of this project is the epitome of "he loved her to the point of invention". people making things for the people they love is always so wholesome and wonderful. its so cool that this project is now large scale
Jaydeep Banerjee: This is really cool. Me and my sister are also suffering from a type of disability called LGMD. And we can't use a simple wheelchair because unlike other forms of disabilities, in LGMD, your arms would also become weaker along with your legs. So an automated wheelchair would be extremely beneficial for us. And a wheelchair that is "not a wheelchair" is really really really cool because it would allow us to go outside and interact with people which we are often unable to do. Awesome work Jerry. Thanks for supporting the disabled and inventing innovative equipments for us. Keep it up! God bless you.
Gambyt: Man I've watched tons of your videos randomly but when I seen it in my feed and clicked on it I was not expecting to see you lol. This is absolutely amazing,good on you.
Virginia Schott: Wow, you just gave me so much hope for my future! I thought I would have to give up hiking and foraging. Genius!!!!
RAY BOSTONS: Zack or Jerry you are always trying to make a difference, you are great.
