Aero X

Light. Quiet. Easy to maneuver. Quick release mechanism on wheels makes disassembly easy to load in and out of the car. Advantages over a scooter are: less likely to strand me due to mechanical failure and I exercise my upper body.

I am new to a wheelchair, so have to be wary of tipping forward or backward in regards to road/sidewalk surface irregularities and slopes. At least I can adjust the rear wheels and center of gravity. Still putting it through my rigorous testing!

Secondary, progressive MS. Want to maintain upper body strength as much as possible.

Seems to be very sturdy for a folding wheelchair.

Not quite as comfortable as my Kuschell, folding wheelchair, but since it is at least $1400 less and it feels more comfortable than any of the other wheelchairs I tried at the abilities convention in LA this year. I would be nice if they had a built-in pouch on the back of the seat similar to the Kuschell.

It's lighter than my other one and it is extremely maneuverable.

None that I've experienced.

I am recovering from brain surgery and two subsequent infection surgeries.

Folds easily, seems durable although we haven't had it for very long, definitely lighter than Old Bessie so my back is grateful! The color is really attractive (we got the dark blue) and I haven't dinged the paint yet.

Very difficult to measure correctly if you are inexperienced like we are. We made some mistakes so the chair is not the perfect fit that we'd hoped. Also, it's really hard to know how much the chair weighs before you order/get it since the components are all separate but there are no weights for them. It ended up heavier than we expected which means it's a little more difficult for him to self-propel for very long.

the folding is excellent, very easy and compact, very nice chair, highly recommend the side guards, well worth the extra,

The only weakness, and its more of a preference of mine, the height of the back would not adjust low enough for me. I like it around 8 inches and it will only go down to 11, but with a few cuts with a saw it was adjusted to my liking!

I was able to customize it; so, it is small like me and able to easily fit through all the doors and in every room in our tiny house. It is REALLY light and moves easily so even with the muscles wasting in my arms and shoulders I am able to use it instead of resorting to an electric chair.

None!

joan g. from east york , canada

42 y.o. woman with Lupus and dermatomyositis, progressive muscle weakness and organ failure. Didn't want to resort to an electric chair.

Takes very little effort to move. I had an older wheelchair that had a lot of wasted effort. With the Aero X it feels that there is not as much effort used to get where I want to go.

The seat has Velcro for a seat pad and I did not order one. Luckily I had one from my old chair had one that fit. It is not really a weakness, but if I did not had a pad then the Velcro could be annoying.
