Go-Chair

Comfortable to sit on, keeps you mobile, fits into narrow places like the bathroom and is small enough to turn around in some tight spaces.

The footrest could be a tripping point, even when in the up position, it should be designed to completely be out of the way of your feet when exiting and entering the chair. It would also be helpful if the seat were to turn sideways, both left & right. That would make it easier to enter & exit the chair as well. The pocket that comes with the chair, although could come in handy for a phone or some other things, adds to the width of the chair and brushes up against the walls in tight spaces, I had to remove it.

Most weaknesses came from me. Each day brings new freedom as I experience the ease of operation and the capability of the product.

ronald h. from elgin, il

Works great! I can maneuver around tight spaces, there is no place I can't go. Easy to use and very stable. Far exceeds expectations.

This product is easy to load and unload in our vehicle. One can remove the seat, battery, and disassemble the base to place in the trunk of the car. One can also have chair carried on a plane.

The major weakness is the battery pack has a short charge life.

Small foot print making it maneuverable in an independent living facility. Easy to thread my way through dining room and 'belly up' to table folding back controller arm rest. Used mainly indoors, it is what it purports to be. Easy to assemble/disassemble and transport without additional lifts. Use a Pride Elite Traveler + for outdoor use.

Its strengths indoors compromise it usefulness outdoors re. power and low ground clearance. Large persons in girth, weight, height may want to consider a larger chair.
