End User Desc:

Strengths: (1) LIGHTWEIGHT. Airline personnel could not believe how easy it was to disassemble the Go-Chair, and how light the parts were. They had never seen an electric wheelchair that was so easy for everyone to move around. And this includes Heathrow Airport, the busiest airport in the world. (2) SOLID TIRES. While producing a somewhat rougher ride and missing out on some traction, the Go-Chair's tires were extremely durable for outside use (and in Europe, I was as far from my home as I had ever been). Given the product's size and maneuverability, I can't imagine how often the tires would have been punctured had they been inflatable. (3) INTUITIVE CONTROLS. Since the chair arrived two days before my trip, the need for it to run easily and without complication was obviously essential, and the Go-Chair clearly met the criteria. (4) LOW COST. For those who have been involved in purchasing mobility products, you can appreciate that the price of this product was dramatically less than anything I have used before. All in all, the Go-Chair gave me an unprecedented opportunity to share in my family's vacation, including getting in the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Needle in London.

Weaknesses: The major challenge in terms of how I used the product, would be the relatively short battery life per each charge. I was used to a traditional scooter battery set up, and usually had to park as much as possible as well as frequently needing to be pushed back to the hotel after spending an afternoon and evening out. Being more familiar with the product at this point, I would have ordered an extra battery in order to have a second charged battery pack which would have resolved this issue. Another challenge was not to unnecessarily push the stability capabilities of the Go-Chair. not all places and all countries have ramps and other apparatus as gently sloped as the ADA requirements in the states.
