About the Chair

Our beach chair was created so everyone can enjoy the beach!

Our custom-made chairs are made from a sturdy frame that is adjustable and can support up to 250 pounds. We do not take credit for inventing this chair. There are several manufacturers on the west coast who build and sell similar chairs. The major difference between them and us is they sell their new chairs for $7000--$10,000 and we rent our used chairs for $40 per day.

The real secret to these chairs is the use of Wheeleez tires all around. Wheeleez tires increase the surface contact area with the sand. These tires require only 3 to 4 psi of inflation. This is another reason that they seem to glide over the sand rather than dig a trench.

We remove parts from slightly used power wheelchairs. Then we build our unique frames that allow the batteries to be placed in such a manner that keeps the chair width at 34 inches. This will allow the chair to gain entry into a 36 inch door opening. By using used wheelchair parts, we keep our costs to a minimum. Renting, rather than selling, allows a greater number of people to afford a trip to the water's edge.

All of our chairs have a very comfortable and adjustable seat, arm rests and foot rest. The joystick has power level control, a horn and low battery indicator. When the battery indicator reflects a low charge, simply plug the onboard charger into a 110v power outlet. We assume that you are not familiar with operating a power wheelchair. Therefore, at delivery, we will explain the operating instructions to you in detail. We also will encourage you to operate the chair to our satisfaction, before we leave.

About Us

After retiring to the beach in March of 2004, Jerry started having problems with fatigue. In June of 2005, he was diagnosed with ALS, or, Lou Gehrig's Disease. As his health declined, his ability to get to the beach became increasingly difficult.

While he was still able to walk he modified a fisherman's cart by adding Wheeleez tires and PVC so that it was converted into an easy to push or pull beach cart. Soon thereafter, he added wheelchair motors and controls so that he could carry a large load with minimum effort.

As the legs began to weaken, Jerry started working on a beach wheelchair. Using PVC pipe and the knowledge he gained from building the electric beach cart, he was able to build a beach wheelchair prototype powered and controlled with electric wheelchair components.

Once the design was complete, he hired someone to build a metal frame. This new frame eliminated inherent PVC weakness, lowered the center of gravity and made the chair more stable.
