94 year old male....can walk some with pain

Ease of turning in tight places. It's very comfortable and just a nice looking unit

It has no key

I am 76 and am recovering from back surgery. I have difficulty with my right leg so am unable to walk. The lite rider envy has been wonderful.

Small turning radius. sturdy built. Simple joystick engineered right. The width makes it easy to navigate tight places. From turtle to rabbit and everything in between spot on.

I wish it had a longer foot base. The current one is too small and uncomfortable.

Good foot print for small houses, even with the larger seat. Sensitive hand device runs very smoothly

Not easy to get in and out of. Not any sturdy place to put hands when stabilizing to get in and out of the chair. Have put my hand and weight on the driver controls many times by accident.  A seat belt would be safer in case I faint.  No place to put my oxygen tank and secure it.

Turning radius enables user to access bathroom and tight areas.  Quality manufacturing and parts.

No head light and no rider accessible basket.

94 years young retired Marine. Heart failure, Stroke. No longer walking.

easy to put together seems very sturdy but rides rough on bumpy surfaces. Good ground clearance

Wish it was narrower and wish the seat was more slippery so I could slide on or off easier

I have MS and no longer have any use of my legs other than locking my knees to stand up with a walker

Very well made, good selection of colors and easy to operate. There's also a great YouTube video available that shows the step by step assembly.

It would be very convenient if 4 tie down points could be incorporated into the design of the frame. Currently I use 4 nylon straps around the frame so that the tie down hooks don't scratch the finish.

My wife is 64 and had a stroke several years ago. She uses a can to get around the home but we purchased the LiteRider Envy for getting out and about

Small enough to use indoors. Tight turning radius.

None

He is an amputee. The seat was missing. He waited approximately 2 weeks to get the seat. In addition, there were 2 scratches on the base.

The lite rider envy is an all around good chair. It’s easy to assemble and disassemble for car travel. I can lift the individual parts. It works well in the house with standard doorways. It travels over flat, varied surfaces. It’s relatively durable. The basket underneath is great. The controls are simple. It’s small enough to get close to the car to allow him to slide in. Personally, I like the different colors available. They aren’t “medical” and boring.

The major weaknesses I feel is the length of time the battery lasts. My husband is still very active and he gets about 5-6 hrs on a charge. Unfortunately, that gets him to about noon. We’ve tried other chairs but still return to this one. He also complains about getting hung up with the little wheels in the rear but I believe they’re a mandatory safety feature.

My husband has an above knee amputation. As he’s 75, walking and falling with his prosthetic leg is no longer a viable option..

Quality and maneuverability

martha e. from atlanta, ga

I'm 60 yrs old I have C.O.P.D with asthma my lower back is missed up weakness in my legs

The chair is not for me. I feel I'm going to slide out of it. Needed a seat belt. It has a lot of power.

No weakness of the chair. It's just me scare of it. A brand new chair I rode only in my apartment. We have to try to sell.
