Why Reckless Wheelchairs
You deserve more than off-the-shelf compromises. Here's what makes us different.
True Customization: Built From Scratch
Most companies call it "custom" when you pick from a dropdown menu. That's not customization—that's configuration.
Budget brands ($1,500-$1,800) sell you a fully adjustable frame and call it custom. You're getting a DIY project with cheap parts—not a chair built for you.
Luxury brands start at $6,000-$7,000 and climb over $10,000+ once you add features. Some offer true customization, even with titanium frames. But here's what they won't tell you: if your titanium frame breaks, only a handful of places in the world can weld it back together. Good luck finding one when you need your chair fixed fast. You're paying double or triple our price for marginal weight savings and a massive repair liability.
At Reckless, we design your chair from scratch. Every measurement, every angle, every component built specifically for your body and how you push. We use aluminum alloy that's properly engineered and all-welded—giving you the strength and efficiency you need at $3,600, with the huge advantage that if you ever send it too hard it can be fixed quickly anywhere.
Designed By Wheelchair Users
Would you rather have a chair built by someone who's never been in a wheelchair, or someone who's been pushing for 30 years?
Most manufacturers? Their engineers have never pushed a chair. They're guessing based on theory and corporate standards.
Our team lives in wheelchairs. We know what works because we push every day. You're not explaining your needs to someone taking notes—you're talking to people who already know.
We build the chairs we want to push. You just get to benefit from it.
All-Rigid Design = Maximum Efficiency
Here's what the industry won't tell you: every adjustment point is a flex point. Every hinge, every joint robs energy from your push.
Budget brands build entire chairs around adjustability—meaning the whole frame flexes with every push. You're wasting energy while endlessly tweaking settings.
Our all-rigid design eliminates flex. Every ounce of your push goes straight to forward motion. We build to your exact specs, weld it solid, and you get maximum efficiency from day one.
No adjustments needed because we got it right the first time.
The Real Cost
Budget: $1,500-$1,800
These are just cheaper versions of insurance chairs—and they won't even last as long. Cheap parts that break within a year. Fully adjustable = maximum flex. You get to pick some pretty colors and guess at what angles you need, then watch it break within months. All the compromises of an insurance chair with none of the durability. You'll end up spending the $2,000 difference on repairs and replacements anyway.
Insurance Chairs: $2,000-$7,000
Big, bulky configurations designed for insurance approval—not performance. You're getting a heavy, over-engineered frame with adjustment points you'll never use because it wasn't built for you in the first place. Pick from their standard sizes, wait months for insurance paperwork, and end up with a chair that's "close enough." And here's the kicker: even when insurance covers part of it, you're still paying $2,000+ out of pocket most of the time. That's over halfway to a true customized Reckless chair—without all the insurance bullshit, waiting, and compromises.
Luxury: $5,000-$12,000+
Some still use configuration and make you add features yourself after purchase. Others offer true customization, even with titanium frames. But here's the catch: most advertise base frame prices starting at $5,000-$6,000. Add your backrest, wheels, brakes, and components? You're easily rolling out the door with a $10,000-$12,000 chair. And if that titanium frame breaks, only a handful of places in the world can weld it back together. You're paying triple our price for marginal weight savings and a massive repair liability.
Reckless: $3,600True custom design. All-welded rigid frame. Everything built in from day one. If you ever send it too hard, it can be fixed quickly anywhere. Best value in the industry.
Zero Compromise on Parts
Budget brands use cheap parts that break. We see it every day—we're the ones replacing their bearings, casters, and hardware after six months.
We design our own parts. When we can't find components that meet our standards, we engineer them ourselves and manufacture them from stainless steel.
Our proprietary bearings? Designed in-house because nothing else was good enough. Now we sell them to keep everyone else's chairs rolling.
You'll never get "good enough" parts on a Reckless chair. Every component is either best-in-class or designed by us to be better.
We Fix Everyone Else's Mistakes
We're authorized dealers and repair centers for every major brand. We're hands-on with their chairs daily—replacing what breaks, upgrading what fails.
We stock replacement parts in bulk for budget brands because their components constantly fail. We sell "custom" add-ons to luxury brand customers who should've gotten them with the chair in the first place.
100+ years of combined experience building, pushing, and repairing every major brand. We know exactly where they cut corners.
That's the advantage of buying from the people who keep the entire industry rolling.
Everything Built In
When you order a Reckless wheelchair, everything you need is built in from the start. Hard back? Built in. Custom side guards? Built in. Specific positioning? Built in.
No aftermarket shopping. No DIY installation. No spending more money six months later to get the chair you should've had from day one.
Complete, truly custom, delivered ready to push.
