Everything you need to know about the Batec Mini 2

Perfect timing for this video! My new wheelchair is scheduled for delivery tomorrow so I'm doing all the research I can on wheelchair accessories and power assists. Watching your videos makes me feel hopeful that I can reenter the community with independence again!

I don't have a Batec but have a Triride and it's been life changing. It's given me complete independence and just to be able to get out on various terrain is fantastic. I think mine is lighter than yours as I can lift it in the car but it's not light! However your Batec looks way simpler to fit. Just a tip to try.... When going up a steep hill go up backwards. It means the batec/Triride is pushing rather than pulling so has more weight over it. Worth a try as it works for me. X

Thanks for the new video, Gem, great you got the Batec! And btw, you are totally responsible I spent 109 Euros on the LapStacker! Like so many times before, when you gave me ideas for helpful litte thingys! Hugs from Germany. Dani

Thank you for that, life changing item.

I love it! Im in the process of getting my 2nd chair, a Ki Mobility Rogue 2. Ive been looking into the smart drive but i like this even better. Oh, love the boxer, shes totally adorable!

I’m getting a Batec rapid on June 5th, so excited

Thanks for this Gem. I've been looking at the Batec as well as the Triride. I've ordered a new wheelchair with Cyclone Mobility. A lovely guy called Billy came out and showed me the Batec but did say that the mini was more for pavements than off road and as I have an energetic Collie I need something that I can take elsewhere. You've shown me that the Batec Mini CAN indeed manage the kinds of terrains I want to go on. So thanks again for this video. ❤ If anyone else in the comments has ever used the Triride I'd love to get their views of the Triride too, just so I have a better idea before I go committing.

Love it 😀, a great video ❤ showing people like us you can be independent. (No these things aren't cheap but where there's a will there's a way!)

I've just tried one of these out at my workplace to see how it did. Given that I can do a lot of miles airside in my manual chair, I'm looking for anything that makes my shifts that bit easier rushing from one end of a terminal to the other. Just waiting on the Access to work application being looked at and approved or a lottery win to get the mini 2 and wheelchair that I chose.

BRB, just off to win the lottery… 🙃

You help me a lot when I Got my first wheelchair last year and im a bit fan of you

Would love to know how this compares to power assisted push wheels

Thank you for this awesome review, Gem 🙏 as for all the videos you've made so far 👍🏻👏👍🏻. As a relatively new wheelchair user you gave me so much confidence for this new situation. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💖. And many thanks to Shawn for showing the Batec runs also with someone more to my weight 👍🏻😉. One question came to my mind seeing you driving "off road". Do you need extra tires and rims to go with the Batec? Something extra stabilised? Lots of love from Germany 🤗💖.

Gem. To avoid the issue of your wrist aching put a thin rubber band between the throttle and its mount it helps to reduce the tendency of the throttle to pull itself closed, but be aware you can find yourself not slowing down if you let go

I wish they distributed in the United States! It is a sad situation that they don't😔

Subscribed 👍👍

I would like one but will have to research it to see if it will work with my chair

Great video! What advantages would you say something like this has over a power chair?

Batecs available in Canada and US

Lovely Gem! Do you use this BT everyday? Has it helped or caused more pain? I’ve joined your broadcast channel over on Instagram x
