At'm Take Along

Portable and can fit in trunk. Although, I cannot do this myself. The battery and base are still too heavy for me to manage. But I love being able to travel with others!

I can't use it in my family room - doesn't work well on carpet. This is where I wanted to use it most of the time in my house.

The light weight, and collapsability making it easy for packing on planes and into backs of taxis.

Inflatable wheels come with air stems aligned in a manner making it almost impossible to add air to wheel. I had to order new tubes with valve stems pointing at a 45'angle. Also, if tire goes flat, when refilling, tube will bulge out unevenly. Called manufacturer and was told "yes, we know this is a problem". Must refill tire with wheel detached from chair. Must 'work' tire with hands while filling wiht air, to keep tube from bulging out. The bulging will create uneven ride and cause tube to wear out prematurely.

I'm a 44 white male with a rare disease called Pompe's disease. I'm unable to walk more then a few block. I purchased this wheelchair to get me thru

The weight allows me to use it myself! I have been practing and do not need my husband to help me anymore. The size enables me to fit it into my small car trunk. The battery charge is enough to mall shop and go out to eat without dropping a green bar. I am not afraid to travel by plane or car anymore.

No breaks! When I first used the chair, I was with my sister and wouldn't let her help me at all. Well, I put the base down, locked the seat in place, put the battery in, connected it and sat down. I was off! It took me a few minutes to realize why my joystick wasn't working. I had not engaged the motor to the wheels and I was on a incline outside a shopping area. It acted just like a runaway grocery cart! After putting my feet to the side of the foot rest, I was able to slowly bring it to a stop. I did not hurt myself. However, it probably would have made "funniest home videos". I laughed all day. My sister said she would never forget that sight! Is it possible to correct this? I know I need the wheels to roll the chair out of the car and once to motor is connected it doesn't go. But for safety maybe you could figure something out. I personally will never make that mistake again! Amy

58 years old, unable to stand longer than a few minutes very bad back.

quite comfortable & sturdy. easy to disassemble & carry in trunk...also easy to assemble

the front 2 wheels should be of a heavier quality....I cannot get the chair to go over even a very small lift...like into the garage.
