OK for very short distance, not good crossing streets in...

 
3.0 / 5
Strengths:

It is lightweight, easy to store, good for small apartment storage

Weaknesses:

Very hard to push over any obstructions like potholes or metal cover ups over construction. Would not use for more than a few blocks of travel.

Little heavier than I should be handling (at age 75) but...

 
4.8 / 5
Strengths:

Larger wheels make for easier pushing, cushioning is more comfortable for the user.

Weaknesses:

Heavier (but stronger) than our previous chair, causing me to have difficulty getting it in-and-out of the car's trunk.

Big wheels add stability.

 
4.8 / 5

Easy to sit in and overall really like it.

 
4.8 / 5
Strengths:

The big wheels in the back make for much easier transportation. Like the brake system. It is lightweight enough for my wife to lift in and out of the trunk.

Weaknesses:

When you put the foot rests in place, I would like it if the bar just snapped in place (like the one we borrowed before we got this one) instead of having to manually push it in place.

Reviewer:
User Details:

Age 76, Balance not good. Walking is difficult so my wife uses the transport wheelchair to take me places The big wheels in back work much easier

Very good chair that I like over the smaller rear wheeled...

 
4.3 / 5
Strengths:

The larger rear wheel over the smaller one.

Weaknesses:

There is no reason the rear wheel could not be even larger (14 ", 16") to me to be even more effective, but not available.
