Retired Guy –
Bought this for my dad to get him from his apartment to my mom’s room at their senior living residence. It’s quite a long walk for him to visit his wife of 72 years and he does not want to use a walker/rollator much to my chagrin. They’re both 95+ years old and it’s tough living apart. But he can no longer care for my mom himself. This chair has been just the best thing ever! Now he can go over as many times a day as he pleases and feelsvery independent. My hubby did the minimalassembly when it arrived and we both tried it out. We were delighted at how easy it is to maneuver and learn to use. (It can be configured for either left or right hand control.) We then went to my dad’s place and had him go around in the parking lot for a first go at using it—-straight forward, reverse, turns, using different speeds and trying the horn. The smile on his face was precious. He drove it easily up the long sidewalk and maneuvered through the HC power assist doorway into his building. He has had it about a month now and has only had to charge it once. Charging is such an easy process! We were amazed at how lightweight the battery is. It needs to come off when putting the chair in the car for travel purposes, but that’s easily done. The entire chair is very lightweight and placed into the trunk with ease, even by me, a 70 year old slightly overweight woman with back issues. It collapses easily to do this and then sets up again for use just as easily. Daddy has had many other residents inquire about his new chair and he gives them the link to review it themselves. He seems to be using it more and more, the longer he has it. That tells me it’s easy to use and recharge. We had looked into his Medicare insurance providing something like this, but honestly, his co-pay would’ve been about the same, he’d have had at least one, maybe two doctor visits to get the required paperwork done, then another appointment at a DME provider to actually show him his options and order it. THEN WAIT 3-6 MONTHS for it to be delivered!!!! I highly suggest this chair to support someone who is still mobile but can no longer walk long distances. (It’s also a comfy seat to sit in for longer periods of time if needed.).

I have been looking for a chair that wasn’t like buying a house. I found this one and took a chance. I had a stroke a few years back that affected my walking and my left side. I can’t use my left arm. I can walk short distances, but attending a trade show, sporting event or going to the mall was a task that usually wiped me out. Since buying this I have been able to do all those with ease. It is not light, but I can manage to lift it with one hand. Since it is going in my SUV, the height is not bad in and out. My only issue is when I fold it and lift it, it likes to open up. I was able to solve that with a 3 foot bungee cord. Otherwise this has been a great chair and recommend it.Update 9-15-24: I used this on a trip to my university homecoming weekend. I loved it! Slopes can be an issue if they are not ADA compliant. If you let up on the accelerator stick, it does stop because of the motors. I’m not sure what the maximum slope this can handle. All the wheelchair ramps were fine.The battery lasted all day. we started with a breakfast in the morning, car to event was good and easily done. Toured some. At night, we had a few events, not close together. chair did fine, hills were a little tricky to navigate (not sure of slope). The battery indicator has 2 red and 3 green lights on the controller. I think in all the day of travel, I used maybe one green light. I can’t wait to see how this handles the state fair in a few months. Up to this point, I love it and recommend it.
