I have a nearly brand new Marvel M1 for sale, hasn't even been pushed a mile.

Upgrades: carbon fiber fenders, scissor brakes, transfer handles, FrogLegs 4x1.5" soft roll casters, folding backrest, anti-tips. All are removable.

Carbon fiber seat is adjustable between 14-18" wide, and is effectively 17-18" deep depending on how the backrest is mounted. I can include a 16" deep CF seat pan if needed (lightly used, may need one minor piece of hardware & some epoxy for 2 of the screws for the backrest mount).

Backrest has the standard folding single-post assembly, with a 13x8" carbon fiber back (w/padding). I can include a folding dual-post backrest assembly w/ hardware to mount a different back if needed (you supply the third-party back, drilling holes will be required).

Footrest is 10" wide.

Camber is 4 degrees, can include add'l 2-degree camber tubes if needed.

Rogue wheels are 25" with a stainless flange & have been used, but are still in excellent shape. Handrims are anodized and slightly scratched.

Pump for adjusting the air shock pressure is included.

Color: all black.

Retail ($5995) w/ CF fenders (+$300) + brakes (+$85) + transfer handles (+$85) + 4x1.5" composite soft rolls (+$40) + anti-tippers (+$85) + shock pump (+$40) + folding backrest (+$55) is = $6685.

Asking $3900 (USD) + shipping.

Oh Scott, this is terrible. Why are you unhappy with it?

I was a rep for Marvel last year. I'm not unhappy with it in the least. It's a great chair with some amazing technological advances that I wish the rest of the industry would move towards using.

For sake of transparency, I'm just annoyed at the company.

Thanks,
Scott

So, this is a divorce settlement. I see.

[scott pruett]

Haha... no divorce settlement, but an amusing analogy.

Basically Marvel's corporate partners kicked the two founders of the company out, both of whom are paras & consequently invested in making a difference in the wheelchair industry. I had to choose a side to be on, whether to stick with the company (which is now run by ABs and a bike company) as a rep, or say "hey, I disagree with what you did."

It's a shame, really. This is morally the best move for me b/c (1) I have a SCI too & (2) I want my ties to the company completely severed.

It's still a great chair though & someone should buy it.

I'll get photos tonight or tomorrow... the chair is tucked in my closet & I need to finish a project this afternoon first.

Would you be willing to donate the chair to a charity for a write-off?

really nice piece of kit

And for the record and believe speak for most of the folks round here....

Good on you!!

[scott pruett]

Extra camber tubes and seat pan are no longer available. They're going back to the company as demo components.

No interest? Make me an offer... I might negotiate. I need to move this chair.

Thanks,
Scott

$2850 + shipping

I'm so sorry to see that it's not moving, I think they are really innovative and 9 months ago you would have had you hand bitten off for it but I guess now people are wary of getting support and parts etc.

Sad really.

[scott pruett]

huh? support and parts are available. Marvel didn't close shop.

I know, just after what happened and if you read what's been written then as a buyer you don't necessarily feel confidence in the present owners.
Sure you know what I mean.

[scott pruett]

basically... though there's nothing in the foreseeable future to indicate that support will cease. recently Marvel brought on Steve from http://www.teamhoc.com/ for R&D.

so out of curiosity, how much would you say the chair is worth?

[Leigh]

$2850+ shipping sounds good.. What do you think the shipping will
cost to the uk though??

[scott pruett]

$2500 + shipping.

[Doc]

Man, your price is a good one. I'd love to buy it from ya, but like many on here, money is tight and I cant find work since my accident

[scott pruett]

Sold.
