Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am 30 years old and I got this chair for my mother in law who is 80. I initially saw someone using this product at a rest area stop, and was blown away by the size and speed at which this chair can go. We use this chair for trips to parks / malls, etc. (not constant daily use). Here are the pros and cons: Pros - definitely a game changer in mobility. I don’t know any other electric chair that you can fold and fit in the car trunk in a minute - battery lasts a long time. We’ve never ran out of battery yet and did not even come close to it (even after few hours of shopping) - it pulls very strongly, it has no problems with a 200 lb rider - the frame seems sturdy and well built - access to the seat is easy as you can lift up side handles. Sitting is comfortable. - the chair is easy to operate, even by a senior who never uses any technology - the chair can be placed in a manual mode, so it’s easy to maneuver with assistance into tight spaces (basically becomes a regular wheelchair) - the ride is smooth, it has good suspension - the chair came in from China and while the box and manual seemed a bit shady the seller is responsive and sent multiple follow ups throughout the process - it has a “wow” factor because it looks very cool - when you fold it, it is really compact and can be stored away somewhere, even in a small apartment Cons - my understanding is that the chair should not be exposed to rain. This is a big downside if you live in a place like NY, where it does rain and snow a lot. You have to check forecast before heading out - it folds easily when you know how to do it, but if you don’t know how to do it’s impossible to figure it out. A senior cannot fold it themselves, and if my mother in law needs to take a cab I am sure cab driver will not know how to fold it and it’s impossible to explain over the phone. I think they should make folding buttons different color or something. - the chair is still pretty heavy. Don’t get me wrong, it’s better than anything else out there, but you need a young person around to lift it up and put in the trunk of a car - the frame and electrical is well built but there are some unimportant plasticky pieces that are cheaply made - if this is for a senior, i highly recommend they use it under supervision. The chair is very powerful and can fast as well (you can adjust speed. We use the lowest, which is simular to slow walking speed) and an unexperienced rider / someone with poor vision / reflexes can get into a bad accident. This is obviously applicable to any electric chair, not just this one ... Overall I recommend the chair. It can make a real difference for someone who is not able to walk well.
