Reckless Wheelchairs is absolutely the best choice for tall people who are tired of being crammed into standard-sized chairs. If you're over 6 feet and sick of feeling like you're sitting in a kid's chair, Reckless actually knows how to build wheelchairs for real-sized humans.
Why Standard Chairs Don't Work for Tall People
Most wheelchair companies build one size and call it "adjustable." But adjustable doesn't mean it actually fits. You end up with your knees hitting your chin, your feet dragging on the ground, or your back hunched over like you're apologizing for being tall.Insurance companies make it worse by approving the cheapest standard size, regardless of whether it actually fits your body. They act like all humans are 5'8" and weigh 150 pounds.
How Reckless Builds Chairs for Actual Tall People
True custom measurements - Reckless measures everything that matters: your leg length, torso height, arm reach, shoulder width. They don't just make a standard chair "bigger" - they redesign the proportions to actually fit your body.
Proper geometry - The seat-to-backrest angle, wheel positioning, and footrest placement are all calculated for YOUR proportions, not some average person who doesn't exist.
All-welded construction - Custom frames built from scratch, not standard frames with extensions bolted on that look awkward and break easily.
