Reckless Wheelchairs

Reckless Wheelchairs It has always amazed us that when you go to get a wheelchair, the only question asked is "what size are you?" That makes no sense. Shouldn't the question be ...

Which brake are you? Pick your vibe and drop it in the comments: goth baddie or photogenic? (Also yes… we’re judging you by your scissor locks.)

VD: Quick, stylized video with sparkly effects and text overlays. It shows different scissor lock brakes on colored backgrounds with humorous “personality” bullet points. One set is labeled with traits like “goth baddie,” “anodized,” and “has too many houseplants.” Another red set is labeled with traits like “photogenic,” “doesn’t understand sarcasm,” and “goes both ways without a reversal kit.” A Disability Lab watermark appears in the corner.

3 reasons I choose pneumatic (air) tires:

1. Better ride on rough ground
2. Adjustable—inflate to the feel you like
3. More comfort when the surface changes

You team air or team solid?

VD: Fast-cut montage with large on-screen text. Emerson rolls in a manual wheelchair outdoors on rough dirt terrain, then indoors down a hallway, then along a wooden boardwalk near water. Text reads “3 Reasons why I opt…” and includes a point about tires being adjustable by inflating to a preferred level, ending with “Are you team air tires or team solid tires? Let us know below!” A Disability Lab watermark appears in the corner.

Wheelie Series: Unpaved slope descent Get into your wheelie, get comfortable, then go slow + controlled. Uneven ground means one hand might move while the other doesn’t—so stay steady, trust your balance, and lean back.

This one’s a higher-skill move. Practice safe.

VD: Outdoors on a sunny day in a desert-like area with hills and sparse brush, Emerson demonstrates descending an unpaved slope in a manual wheelchair while holding a wheelie. He rolls slowly and steadily down uneven dirt and small bumps under tree shade, explaining how the uneven ground affects hand movement and balance. On-screen text appears briefly, and a Disability Lab watermark is visible in the corner.

Not to be dramatic… but this setup is illegal to look this good.

Matte black + gold hits + that clean stance? Yeah. You’re staring for a reason.

Hotel tubs can be the hardest part of traveling. Here’s a simple tub transfer setup using a transfer bench so you can get in/out with more control and less risk.
Comment what you want next: shower chair setup, grab bar tips, or packing a travel kit.

VD: Inside a hotel bathroom, on-screen text reads “Tub How To: Transfer Into a Hotel Bathtub.” A manual wheelchair is positioned next to a bathtub with a tub transfer bench bridging the tub edge. Emerson demonstrates sitting and shifting onto the bench and into the tub area, showing the setup and positioning. The final shot shows the tub, bench, shower curtain, and bathroom fixtures, with a Disability Lab watermark in the corner.

Ergonomic wheelchair seating = less pain, better pushing, more energy.

A few small setup changes can help with pressure points, sliding forward, and shoulder fatigue.

Sidewalk cracks, weird seams, random bumps—this is why pop-ups matter. Not a “trick,” just a daily-driver skill.

VD: Daytime street and sidewalk scenes in a busy area with outdoor seating and pedestrians. Emerson rolls in a manual wheelchair along the sidewalk; large on-screen text reads “WHEELIE POPS IN REAL LIFE.” The camera cuts between a front view, a wider sidewalk view near a blue sign, and a rear view as he continues down the sidewalk. A Disability Lab watermark appears in the corner.

Not saying you need a new setup… but this one’s looking real hard to ignore.

Clean lines. Blue details. Built to get stared at and used.

Pool Lift Transfer: Accessible pool day, made easier.

If you’ve never used a pool lift before, here’s what the transfer can look like—step by step

(and yes… it can take a minute to get everything dialed but better than getting burns from the pool deck).

VD: Outdoor pool deck on a sunny day with palm trees and lounge chairs. Emerson, seated in a manual wheelchair, positions next to a blue pool lift chair at the pool’s edge as on-screen text reads “Pool Lift Transfer.” Midway, a comedic title card appears reading “Twenty Minutes Later,” then the video returns to the poolside scene with Emerson near the lift and pool water in frame.

Wheelie Series: Rough Terrain Soft dirt, rocks, sand pits—this is where a wheelie really pays off. Get your center of gravity back so your casters don’t catch and pitch you forward. Hold it if you can. If not, pop-up through it. What terrain is the worst where you live?*
*
*
VD: Outdoors on a dirt-and-rock trail with shrubs and trees, Emerson sits in a manual wheelchair and explains how to handle rough terrain. He demonstrates moving through soft dirt and scattered rocks by shifting into a wheelie and using repeated wheelie pop-ups to keep the front casters from catching. On-screen text references the wheelie series, and a Disability Lab watermark appears in the corner.
