Zeen’ is an homage to ‘Draisine’ — the proto-bicycle invented by Baron von Drais in 1816. Draisines had a saddle and handlebars, but no pedals. Riders coasted along by striding on the ground, and by all accounts the experience was exhilarating. Our Zeen clearly needed more than two wheels (see the next Q!), and the pair at the rear became our patented ‘dual-state’ casters for controlled four-wheel steering.
Zeening is likewise exhilarating!
With a Zeen one can confidently walk and coast, even if challenged by age, injury or disease. The Zeen is for people at risk of falling, or those who walk perfectly well but get tired.
It’s for those who use walkers and just plain hate the things.
It’s for wheelchair users who gave up walking prematurely because of fatigue or risk.
It’s for those determined to stay upright and put off that one-way descent to non-ambulation.
With our proprietary lifting technology, the Zeen ‘floats’ any desired percentage of your weight, so it’s hugely helpful for those who have difficulty getting up on their feet!
BuyGozeen offers a range of wheelchair and mobility options, including manual wheelchairs, folding wheelchairs, lightweight wheelchairs, transport wheelchairs, and electric wheelchairs, depending on availability.
The right wheelchair depends on the user’s mobility needs, body size and measurements, comfort requirements, environment, and how the wheelchair will be used. If you are unsure, contact our team for guidance.
At this time, it’s only safe to do a single step of six inches or less with the Zeen – and this is dependent on individual strength.
See ‘hazards’ above for tips on hills and curbs. Lightweight, folding Zeen models with pneumatic tires can definitely be of use outdoors, even on gentle hills, if you have the core strength to propel them up over rough ground.
Even if unsteady at ambulating, such as from disease or stroke, the Zeen can still help protect you from falling unless you undertake a hill that’s too steep for braking, or a side slope that’s too extreme for the walking ability you retain. (Common sense and your accumulating Zeen experience will be your reliable guide.)
Rain is no particular obstacle if the ground is smooth since Lightweight Zeens are waterproof, and with a seatbelt it’s easy enough to devote one hand to your umbrella.
We would definitely not recommend riding a Zeen in snow, ice or high wind.
The Zeen folds laterally with one upward pull to be 33″ long x 39″ tall x 11″ wide folded. Our ‘Car-Loader’ accessory clips to rear seat-backs or headrests and requires half the effort of simply lifting your Zeen into a cargo area or trunk.
Yes. We offer wheelchair options designed for everyday mobility, including use at home, work, appointments, shopping, and other daily activities
Yes. Folding wheelchairs are available for customers who need a wheelchair that is easier to store and transport.
‘The Zeen is essentially a big comfortable saddle surrounded by four agile wheels. Once you pre-set your inseam length and desired amount of lift, the saddle will effortlessly raise you up to standing, walking and ‘barstool’ position, and gently lower to become a comfortable chair.
Zeens have two controls only — Seat-Height Lock and Brakes.
You can stand, or walk with all your weight on the ground, and the loosely fastened lap-belt and saddle-prow will still positively keep you safe.
Leaning back slightly and edging onto the wide part of the saddle allows you to ‘stride’ — to scoot easily over the ground and coast. Coasting covers a lot of ground and is surprisingly fun.
Your stride directs the Zeen where you want to go and, with no conscious effort, the chassis swivels and follows!
When coasting, one can also steer by applying either the left or right brake to influence your direction, and the brakes bring you easily to a stop.
Rehab protocols include those involving mobility and those related to other aspects of life. Many rehabilitation accessories and protocols are adaptable to the inherently safe and dramatically mobile Zeen platform, so patients can be more independent, and therapists are freed up to attend to other tasks.
The Zeen is typically mounted standing, by holding the handlebars and backing onto the saddle. Transfer techniques to and from beds, toilets, and chairs vary according to user capability, and can often be done with the Zeen without the help of caregivers.
With brakes engaged, one may transfer solo between bed or toilet in one of two ways: either by sliding laterally with the Zeen in seated position; or by bracing your forearms on the armrests to help you up. Once standing, you can turn and back onto the saddle as usual.
Phenomenally maneuverable. Zeens sport patented ‘Dual-State Casters’ for perfect forward tracking, uncanny four-wheel steering and easy lateral and rearward motion.
A Zeen occupies slightly more floor-space than a rollator or wheelchair — and can be instantly folded to take up as little as 11” of space next to a wall.
‘Barstool Mode’ is at the appealing heart of Zeening. It’s when you come to a standing stop in the midst of a social gathering, put your feet on the footrests, shift back on the saddle and join the crowd!
Instead of being isolated on a wheelchair with your head at waist-height, you are up at your natural standing eye-level with both hands free.
