All-Welded Design: The Reckless Advantage
PERFORMANCE WITHOUT COMPROMISE
When every push matters, frame rigidity isn't just a feature—it's everything. At Reckless Wheelchairs, our all-welded design eliminates the energy-stealing flex that robs you of precious momentum and performance.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE STRENGTH
ENERGY TRANSFER THAT POWERS YOUR PERFORMANCE
Traditional bolt-together wheelchairs lose significant energy through flex, vibration, and noise. Our all-welded frames maximize power transfer, delivering virtually all of your effort directly to the ground.
What this means for you:
- More distance with each push
- Less fatigue throughout the day
- Immediate response when you need to change direction
- Reduced maintenance with no bolts to tighten
BUILT FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR SHOW
Our precision TIG welding process creates molecular bonds that distribute force evenly throughout the entire frame. The result? A wheelchair that can handle whatever you throw at it—from basketball courts to everyday obstacles.
All-Welded Advantage:
-
Zero frame flex during aggressive maneuvers
-
No loosening parts over time
-
Reduced weight without sacrificing strength
- Consistent performance year after year

Reckless Difference

1. Built by Users, For Users
We're wheelchair users designing for wheelchair users – we get it because we live it. Every chair is crafted with real-world experience and insider knowledge of what actually matters on the court, track, or street. When pushers design for pushers, you get performance that insurance companies and big manufacturers just can't match.

2. Ultra-Lightweight Rigid Performance
Our all-welded rigid design means every push transfers maximum energy to forward motion instead of wasting it on flex and noise. Less maintenance, quieter rides, and effortless pushing that lets you focus on living your life instead of fighting your equipment. Built tough but weighs light – because your chair should work with you, not against you.

3. Insurance-Free Customization
Skip the paperwork, denials, and "standard options" – you're the boss here. We build exactly what YOU want, how YOU want it, without having to justify your choices to anyone else. True customization means getting the chair that fits your life, your sport, and your style perfectly.
What They Say
FAQ
1. Why don't you accept insurance?
We choose not to work with insurance so you can get exactly the wheelchair you need. Insurance companies restrict your choices to basic, pre-approved options that might not work for your body or lifestyle. By paying directly, you skip all those limitations and get complete control over every detail - from measurements to features to colors. You end up with a wheelchair that's actually built for YOU, not what some insurance policy says you can have.
2. What's the real difference between your wheelchairs and insurance wheelchairs?
Insurance wheelchairs might be "free," but they authorize the cheapest parts available. Between your co-pay and necessary upgrades to get decent components, you'll spend $2-3k anyway - and you'll still end up with a bolt-together maintenance problem that wastes your energy through loose connections and flex.
Our all-welded construction eliminates those weak points completely. Every push transfers directly into motion instead of being lost through wobbly joints. Plus, our ultra-lightweight design means you use less energy to get around.
Spend a little more and get a custom-made Reckless chair that's built to maximize your energy and minimize maintenance time. When your wheelchair works efficiently and quietly, you spend your energy living your life instead of constantly fixing equipment.
3. How long does it take to make my new wheelchair?
Your custom wheelchair takes 10 weeks from contract to delivery. Here's the breakdown:
- Week 1: Order parts & create your custom CAD design
- Weeks 2-3: Manufacturing your frame
- Weeks 4-5: Powder coating for durability
- Weeks 6-7: Assembly and quality testing
- Week 8-10: Final prep and shipping (1-2 days shipping time)
4. How can I do a fitting if I cannot come to your shop?
We offer remote fittings! We'll guide you through taking your own measurements with detailed instructions, or we can work with a local physical therapist We also provide video consultations to ensure everything is measured correctly. Many of our customers are located far from Houston, so we've perfected the remote fitting process to ensure your wheelchair fits perfectly.
