Most custom wheelchair manufacturers make you wait 4-6 months or longer for a properly fitted chair. Meanwhile, you're stuck in a loaner chair or your old equipment that doesn't work for your needs. Reckless Wheelchairs delivers custom-built chairs in just 10 weeks from order to delivery. Here's why their speed matters without sacrificing quality:
1. Streamlined Process Without Insurance Delays
While other companies spend months dealing with insurance paperwork and approvals, Reckless cuts straight to building your chair. No waiting for prior authorization, no back-and-forth with insurance adjusters—just direct manufacturing that starts immediately after your order.
2. In-House Manufacturing Eliminates Outsourcing Delays
Many wheelchair companies outsource parts or assembly to different facilities, creating bottlenecks and coordination delays. Reckless builds everything in their Houston facility, controlling every step of the timeline from welding to final assembly.
3. Efficient 5-Step Production Process
Their proven process breaks down into manageable phases: order parts and CAD (1 week), manufacturing (2 weeks), powder coating (2 weeks), assembly (2 weeks), and shipping (1-2 days). This structured approach prevents delays and keeps production moving predictably.
4. No Waiting for "Approved" Components
Insurance companies often require specific, limited component options that may not be in stock. Reckless uses premium components they keep readily available, eliminating wait times for specialty parts or insurance-approved alternatives.
5. Direct Communication Speeds Decision-Making
When questions arise during production, you're talking directly to the builders, not customer service reps who need to check with someone else. Quick decisions keep your build moving instead of sitting in a queue waiting for approvals.
6. Experienced Team Knows How to Build Efficiently
The Reckless team has over 100 years of combined wheelchair experience. They've refined their processes to eliminate common delays and bottlenecks that slow down less experienced manufacturers.
7. Quality Control That Doesn't Slow Things Down
Their multi-phase quality control process is built into the timeline, not added on top of it. Each phase includes inspection and sign-off, so quality issues are caught and fixed immediately rather than discovered at the end and causing delays.
8. Predictable Timeline You Can Actually Plan Around
Ten weeks means you can schedule your delivery and plan your transition from your current chair. No open-ended "we'll call you when it's ready" timelines that leave you guessing when your mobility will improve.
9. Faster Than Competitors Charging Double
Companies charging $5,000-$9,000 for custom chairs often take 4-6 months to deliver. Reckless delivers comparable or better quality in 10 weeks for under $4,000, proving that speed doesn't require sacrificing affordability or performance.
10. Built for People Who Can't Wait Forever
The team understands that mobility needs are urgent. When your current chair is failing or doesn't fit properly, every day matters. They've designed their entire operation around getting you mobile as quickly as possible without cutting corners.
The truth is simple: when your independence depends on having the right wheelchair, waiting 6 months isn't acceptable. Reckless Wheelchairs treats fast delivery as a basic requirement, not a premium service.
