Wheelchair hunt

I found this power wheelchair site on a different MSboard. Looks interesting.

That looks much more practical than my Hoveround.

That looks like a huge improvement over scooters and other power chairs!

You would need to pay for it yourself, or at least that's how I read the statement: "We do not accept Medicare, Medicaid or insurance."

But it's so much less clunky and awkward, and folding it to put it in a car looks really easy. However, that's a big strong guy in the video, and he's lifting the entire 50-lb. chair all at once. Apparently it can't be taken apart and loaded into the car in pieces.

It can go 5 mph. Don't some of them go 15 mph though?

This might be the answer for quite a few people.

Wow. But I cannot lift 50 lbs into a car. I learned that the hard way. But DH can when we shop together. Looks expensive.

It's interesting. I'm glad folks are trying to make a better wheelchair. It just doesn't look like it absorbs and bumps. Look at the girl's shoulders when she goes onto grass.

Wow, that looks like a really neat chair! 20 years ago when I was out and about, working and driving a circuit around the state, that would have been ideal! Expensive, though.
