My Electric Scooter Attachment for my Wheelchair | CNEbike Review 

As much as I love your Family Life videos and your “Live” videos, I also think these videos, like this Scooter Attachment one and the Volt Hockey one, are wonderful because they show ways in which you can participate in activities on a level playing field with your family. And that in my book is Awesome!!

Great video! I didn't even know they made something like this that I could attach to my wheelchair!!

Very thorough review! Well done! Looks like a great device to help a person enjoy our short summers!

I use to have this CNEBIKES device. To prevent the mounting angle problem shown at 10:50, you need to tighten the two silver bolts on either side very tight. This will ensure that when the tire hits an obstacle or bump at an angle, the down tube /main tube of the device does not rotate with regard to the mounted part of the device. Another thing that I found makes it easier to attach is to tighten the two attachments wings to the same angle every time, never let them hang down. So each time I went to attach the device, the wings were already at the perfect angle to fit around my chair.

Brittney If the front wheel slips during uphill climbs, try to climb while moving in reverse, so the load on the front wheel will be higher. This advice when there are no other options )) (sorry for my English)

Looks cool. Is it tippy? I’ve tipped my hand cycle attachment over multiple times. I’d love to have seen some footage of you riding on it

Thanks for the review. I’ve been using a Rio Mobility Firefly for 5+ years and love it. There are cons like having permanent brackets but overall it’s been very dependable. I also have access to great customer support which I’ve used with success. It’s time to get a new attachment and your model is appealing because of the price. I do worry about the lack of customer support and the twisting frame you encounter. Because these are pretty quick, safety is now more of an issue. Regardless, I really, really appreciate the unbiased and honest review. These attachments have changed my life and I couldn’t imagine not using one moving forward. A Baetec would be sweet but the price is insane. Essentially a new car. I’ve tried the newest Firefly model and it’s upgraded dual disc brakes, very solid frame attachment and powerful headlights make it appealing. It is now $5000 Canadian so the $2000 price increase sucks. As I’ve been using these for years, I will suggest that you keep your brakes constantly serviced as I had a bad accident when my brake locked up when I was going 23 km/hr. I went over the handlebars and luckily only suffered some scrapes and bruises. This was due to me not changing the disc brake pads early enough and keeping them serviced. A huge lesson that has kept me safer while riding. I’ll be honest and say that the twisted frame you’re encountering while riding really worries me as it weakens the aluminum’s strength every time this happens. This could result in the brackets or the frame snapping and of course I’d hate for this to happen to you. Id go to a reputable bike shop and see what they say as this is where I get my Firefly serviced. Due to the number of electric bikes they fix, most shops are familiar with wheelchair attachments like ours and have been a huge help. Please look into this as I fear for your safety. I won’t be buying this model because of this issue. Thanks again and play safe! Brian

Looks good to me but.. it almost weights the same as me, and without customer service... if something goes really wrong and can't be repaired or replaced with something else or somewhere else... that would be 1500€ of dead weight to get rid off; anyway, if it's easy to install, reliable and works to allow you to do activities with your kids and family.. i think it worths it.

I have a very similar wheelchair attachment called a E-pilot by Alber, but it was slightly more expensive than yours, $18,000 Australian $, but thankfully it was paid for by our NDIS, I use mine everyday and everywhere around town, to be honest I hardly drive since I got it 😊, mine attaches the same as the batech

A year and some change later I was wondering if you had some time to answer a few pertinent questions since I've been doing some research into getting one of these scooter attachments for my chair but the prices of all the more "high-end" models are just unsustainable and frankly insulting to people with disabilities... - Do you still enjoy this product and would you recommend? - Have you pushed it to its limits; what would you say is its biggest weakness? (I dont plan on going out in the woods or mountains, mostly small city but slopes or inclines?) - Did yours come with the battery shipped later or did you have to buy the battery along with the attachment? (I am seeing a lot of reviews about the battery not being included) - When not throttling, if your in an incline, does the chair stay still or do you need to engage the breaks? Thank you in advance and I would like to say that Ive went through some of your other videos and you are truly inspiring, keep it up, you genuinely are empowering people

Well done for getting a good power on from China. Now we have middle men making profit from cheap prices from manufacturers. Good for you . It does take too long to put on and Blumill Go are easier. China have loads of other models.

What other manual chairs are these compatible with? I Have a Ki mobility Catalyst five manual chair will this work with that?

There’s a guy I see every morning when I go to Tim Horton’s whom has I think the same attachment as yours. I haven’t seen it up real close because I already embarrassed myself when I yelled out “That’s just like Brittney’s one!”. Apparently not everyone - yet - knows who you are lol! Have you ever tried the RGK SmartDrive Power Assist Drivec? I saw a video one time on this type, and it looks pretty slick, looks like it has good traction, although I can see the big disadvantage because I don’t think you could attach it and detach it by yourself.

I've thought about it myself to get one. But it's something I think for my personal lifestyle to just go to the store and back... Thanks for the review

I wanted to comment that I am seeing a lot more of these “scooter attachments” being used in everyday life - on the street, in malls, in stores - than ever before. Not just for recreational uses. More often than the “SmartDrive” rear attachment. Maybe because of price Brittney? Or, Britt, is it easier for more chair-users to attach the scooter attachment than the SmartDrive?

This praise electrict i from 🇮🇳 india i spinal cord injury present

thank for the great review of your scoter attachment. I think I said before I have a batec as got it 2nd hand from a friend and use it with my old wheelchair so I don't damage my new chair as it was a major investment. I have a question thought do u use a bike helmet when are using ur scooter attachment? as I sometime do as have been known to crash mine a few times and don't wanna break myself anymore than I am already lol. hope u and ur family are enjoying the summer.

There's a guy in my neighborhood who has that kinda electric scooter. I see him going down my street sometimes. Wish I had something like that when I had my sports chair. I'm in a power chair now

Very cool!!! I just got a very similar one last week from Rio Mobility (I live in the Michigan and they are out of California so very affordable shipping) and so far I absolutely love it. I had originally seen your video with it camping and started researching “scooters”, so glad that I saw you with yours!

what brand wheelchair do you have?

I need one badly get tired of needing pushed

About how fast does it go? And about how many miles does it go?

I do something similar to this but it’s so top heavy when i get on my scooter. I am about to release my new video of my ebike conversion of my old handcycle and it’s more stable and rips!

Hi, I have a Firefly 2.5 from Rio Mobility, once you get it set up it's a game changer, you would love it! It's easy to take on and off, very stable, and from what I'm seeing its the best attachment on the market, it is $2,800, but well worth it.

I love your channel! I see this is about a year old. Do you still like your CNEbike? Did you consider getting an electric dual-motor scooter and attaching it to your chair before going with the CNEbike? That's what I am now considering on my motorized journey. Thanks!

Hi. I like your vedios alot. I am paralysis since age 13 like you. I think that intrested me more to your vedio. What kind of wheelchair cusion do you use. I used to use TOHO, it was good for presure, but not good for balance. Also what kind of bed matress do you think is good? Thank you

Hi, have you tried to attach it to a more foldable wheelchair? My wife is in a wheelchair, but not a fixed frame one with footrests on the frame. Her footrests attach to the wheelchair and come out forward. I wonder if that kind of attachment would work on these type of wheelchair. If you are not sure what type I'm referring to you can search Helio C2 from Motion composites. We have a 3 yrs old daughter and I've been looking into getting something similar as the price with is a huge factor, considering how much something similar cost if you go with a adaptive equipment seller. Nothing is under 10k-15k$ CAD.

thank you so much

Hi I have been using one of these for over 6 years now. FYI its a lot quicker to get on and off if you retighten the center lock key before undoing the clamps when you remove. This way the arms always remain upright and ready in the correct position. Just remember to always tighten before undoing the clamps ;)

I have that same type saved for later on my Amazon list. Might as well wait until next summer to pick one up now since this summer is unfortunately wrapping up soon. Can't wait to try it though.

Rats! I’m outta town today. I’ll have to rush home right now so I can watch this! Seriously.

Yes kopple of weeks by my new chair I had same scooter ❤️

Just got it! Any additional tips? Going over bumps in the road shifts everything. Tighten the screw?Pretty fast wheelchair attachment…

I'd consult youtube University. For adjustment

Cool video. Thanks.

I have not seen a review on electric wheelchairs. I am a 79 year old man who is losing the use of my legs due to arthritis in my spine. I’m not sure whether to go electric or manual wheelchair. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for posting Brittney, love you:)

😊 to avoid the instability that you mention at the end, the two bolts at the arms must be tightened. it is also clearly visible when you put the attachment on the wheelchair that everything is loose. tighten up!

Ily brittany ❤️

I have identical and I drive it a lot for more than 3 years. I drove it over 10000km. you put it wrong. I will send you photos and video how to put it on in 30 seconds and that all the way while driving is equal, does not slip. want?

I can’t afford this either sheesh

good review Brittney thank you.

Now all I wanna do is race you!

oooo Have you got a new tattoo?

Do you have a video on choosing a chair? I have a friend who was shot in Afghanistan in 2005. The VA won't allow surgery, neither will private insurance, so she's going to have it done in China. BUT she will need a fitted chair rather than the standard model the VA gave her then.

Can you post the link to the one you didn't get as well so some of us can compare? We may want the other one.. Thanka.
