  1. Reading the portion of this advertisement with the individual enjoying her motorcycle while being adapted to breathing with a portable concentrator is very inspirational.
    My question is I ride a Harley Davidson which has a strong vibration going through it ,is a strong constant vibration an issue for a portable concentrator to function safe enough for me to be confident and enjoy my motorcycle again ?

    • Hi Alan,

      You should be fine if you have it in a pack on you. The vibration should not affect the function of the concentrator. Just have it in pack on you back or side, just not in a saddle bag or on the cycle where the vibrations are greatest. Happy riding and send us a pic!

      All the best.

    • If I may. I agree Covid sucks. Took my lungs hard, hit memory to but not as hard. Spent 3 months in hospital.that was January 2022. I still need a lot of oxygen today. I have given up a lot but my bike is Harley also. Been riding over 50 years and let me tell ya… I am no willing to give up my bike to breathe. That’s not living

      • I’m sorry to hear that you have been struggling with the after-effects of COVID-19, but I understand your sentiment about not wanting to give up something that brings you joy and a sense of normalcy, like riding your Harley. However, it’s important to prioritize your health and safety above all else.

        If you need oxygen, it’s crucial to use it while riding your bike or engaging in any physical activity. There are portable oxygen concentrators designed specifically for outdoor use and they can allow you to enjoy your hobbies while getting the oxygen you need. It’s also important to consult with your doctor about any physical activities you plan on engaging in and any precautions you should take.

  2. Been riding my harley for 2 years now using my inogen g3 works great and I can even plug it in to charge when I am riding

    • Love it! The whole design of these machines is to be free of tanks and be able to enjoy life. Sounds like you are taking 2 scoops of life and enjoying every minute. Thanks for the comment.

    • Hey! How do you have your machine attached to your bike? My dad is currently looking for a way to do this.

      Thanks!

  3. Ive got sever COPD stage 4. I’m 65 and have been on O2 4 years now. It’s very hard for me to back my bike up as I have flair ups with anything that is strenuous. But once I’m riding with my simply go concentrator I’m a happy guy.

    I’m planning a trip from here in Florida to Up State NY and back in April 2020. Never Give up. I’ve used m4 size oxygen tanks before I got my concentrator. I’ll probably take 2 tanks with me to NY just for back up, as I CANT be without. God Bless all of you.

    • Thank you so much for sharing your story with us. We are so excited to hear of your trip and we would love it if you would share some pictures with us? Thanks again and have a wonderful time!
