My 83 year old Mother is wheelchair bound due to arthritis, she is learning to use her power chair and enjoying her newly found independence.

Good value for the price. Light enough to take when travelling.

Product okay. Instruction book could be more clear.

It is easy to assemble and manoevers well with a little practice.

Needs to be recharged quite frequently.

Ease of use, turning radius, not too orthopedic looking.

Wish they would figure out how to make a lightweight wheelchair that was EASY to put together at the store. Like by one person in the parking lot. This is not quite it yet.

86 year old mother needs something lightweight to tool around the assisted living, hopefully light enough for her daughters to take apart for shopping

The chair's top speed is reasonably fast - a moderately fast walking pace, so I can easily keep up with my husband. Easy to transport in the back of our car. Husband doesn't even need to break it completely down. Handles small bumps well. Very maneuverable, can turn around in lightly occupied elevators.

For semi-active users, a second battery set/charger/battery case are a good idea as the battery wears down pretty fast. So if you want to go windowshopping, then buy groceries the same day, you'll need two batteries. Limit the max speed to one or two dots at first - there's a learning curve in driving it. Steering stick works best held between base of thumb and hand, not held in fingers, to prevent slipping. Arrived assembled too tightly to be adjusted, so I am stuck with non-adjustable foot rest, seat height, etc.

late 40,s...I have MS with decreasing use of legs...

The Drive Medical Geo is a great electric wheelchair at a wonderful price. I purchased the Drive Medical Geo to replace the Pride Mobilty Go Chair. The Go Chair lasted around 18 months then the controller went out. The Geo Chair cost less than the replacement controller for the Go Chair. This has happened to me twice with Jazzy products and their costumer support was nonexistent. As a test I called Drive Medical and was able to talk directly with a technician! SpinLife was very reliable and quick in getting the Geo Chair to me. No worries there at all.

None experienced.

Narrow width fits through doors easily. Batteries need recharging only about once/week. Footrest flips up - makes getting in and out easier. Comfy seat.

Haven't discovered any yet.
