Latest user Reviews: Cyclone Mirage ti, Hoveround Powerchair, Jazzy 1470, IBOT 3000, Sunrise Quickie F55, many more reviews found here This is the TankChair! >>> Or rather an early development prototype version. It is some scary looking PowerChair with attitude ! I just love it! Will look great in the pub! I will be getting one of these courtesy of the guy who is designing & building them in the US. He doesn't mess about! He has the right attitude and actually wants people like me to give real feedback so he can get it right! Good man. Shame the iBOT and other PowerChair manufacturers don't do the same! (Read the iBOT review to see what I mean!) He started building this PowerChair originally to help his wife! Are you a Manual Wheelchair user? Are you a Power Wheelchair user? We need YOUR help and opinions! There is no independent website, magazine, or other source of easy to find detailed reviews available for common Power or Manual wheelchairs to help people decide what they require. This "comparison" process and ability to see what is available on the market is ESSENTIAL for those unfortunate people that need to use a wheelchair. Do you want to read REAL WORLD reviews? Of different power chairs or wheelchairs by knowledgeable and "real" end users? Click here or on the IBOT 3000 Transporter a Stair climbing & Balancing PowerChair (opposite) for my review and opinions of this astounding electric Powerchair! New - a very quick review of the latest iBOT 4000 version here! New! The latest IBOT 4000 Powerchair tested BY ME - 6 pages of detailed info! Are you completely sick of useless "sales" people and so "wheelchair dealers" that have no real product knowledge? Or any idea of what you want or need? It seems most people like us really are! Professional medical people are also generally useless! So your only hope is real knowledgeable end users of these products such as myself and other contributors to this site. That's what this site is all about - But for it to work I will NEED YOUR HELP so as to build it up into a site that has reviews of all the best popular powerchairs and manual wheelchairs around! I can only see and test so much personally! Sick of bad or totally incompetent "service" ? Wheelchair failures, repeated "faults", hard to get or overpriced parts? Or just the opposite? Not all manufacturers or dealers are bad! (I hope)... We need a list of GOOD dealers, GOOD chairs, parts, vehicle modifiers, etc. Some deserve praise and custom! Please tell me about it! We all need to know who is good, who and what to avoid! So please READ this page and your reviews and/or pictures will all appear on here as soon as I can do it! This will eventually form a big database of reviews and recommendations hopefully.. The more info we have the better. We need DETAILS! Names, dates, exact chair types, fault details, type of usage etc. Absolutely anything. Maybe just your personal experiences. Also cushions, ramps, disability modifications generally, like beds, vehicles, tyres, parts suppliers, Fed up with your local "Wheelchair Services" lack of knowledge? And worse their refusal to buy you what you really need? (UK only here? I think) Other countries use insurance etc. They CAN and will buy you your chair! With a big fight if you convince them of your needs... Don't know which Wheelchair or Powerchair to buy? See Reviews on left! Don't let your wheelchair specialists decide! They are almost all totally clueless. If you are one and you are NOT clueless then e-mail me or Mail me (snail mail!) as many brochures and your own comments and reviews as you can! Thanks. Want to know what alternative parts are available? What "better" alternative parts "fit" - For example - Different motors or speed controllers? Want some ideas on how to improve your chair? Some CORRECT info on batteries and charging? There are some seriously bad salesmen and service "engineers" with absolutely contradictory advice about your batteries! They CAUSE your batteries to die with their "advice". And I sell the BEST batteries you can buy (at a price unfortunately) and I use these myself of course! www.optimabattery.co.uk Want to see common faults with mass produced Powerchair and wheelchairs? See the users reviews, or go to the users area where you can comment. WELL YOU ARE NOT ALONE! ALMOST EVERY WHEELCHAIR USER IS IN THE SAME SITUATION... The manufacturers are little better. Same old problems and dodgy designs for years on end, and from my own experience they cant even send out the right parts if you give them their OWN part numbers by fax, email and letter. This particular company is Sunrise Medical. But as always it depends who you speak to. Sincerely, John Williamson, A USER!
