At age 83 I tire quickly when walking and I hate having my family push in a wheelchair but I hate more missing out seeing things when we travel.

The strength is especially the chairs ability to turn in a tight spot.

the off-on button is too easy to push on when not intended.

real user with mobility problems with Go-Chair access ability.

This Power Chair is big enough to be stable and powerful enough for my needs AND it comes apart into 4 pieces (Heaviest is about 35lbs.) and fits nicely into the trunk of a car for easy transportation! Has plenty of power and a great battery life! A rear basket and a cup holder can also be easily added! Great 'Portable Power Chair'!!

I really haven't found any!! It DOES take a little practice steering with a 'Joy Stick' though!! It's best to follow the instructions and practice on an open, flat surface for awhile before taking on the 'Open Road'!!

It is easy for my wife to use and get in and out of.Easy to assemble/diassemble. Very easy to change joystick to either side if needed.Very small turning radius can be used in tight spots indoors.

Wish the ground clearance was a little higher.

everett r. from new berlin, wi (caregiver)

My 54 yr oldspouse who suffered a stroke 2 years ago.Left side paralysis so needed a joystick, was able to master it in a few supervised runs.

Small footprint and turning radius. With arm rests removed, can navigate in small houses and apartments. Relatively easy to take apart and put back together.

Key stats on motor (watts&rpm) and gearing (teeth, ratio) not in manual. Would like to be able to change out batteries to the smaller, lighter lithium ion type.

nancy p. from durham, nc

Age 65, losing motor neuron control

Not too big, works well in house and sidewalk, stays charged well, has well to carry power cord, has back hitch to add basket which carrys his portable oxygen concentrator

Have not found any yet. Perhaps ground clearance, but would not want it any more top heavy, so....
