Re: [QUAD-L] chairs

[Brien]

I have a tdx5 which is similar but it has gearless brushless motors and true track so it goes straight in spite  of uneven  surfaces with no input from the joystick.  It is the best wheelchair I have ever driven.  You need to get hold of a programer because there are a  vast number of adjustments that can be made.  I consider my tdx 5 to be the sports car o wheelchairs. We definitely get accustomed to our chairs.  When I get in my levo stander, I am not as comfortable, yet it has a huge cushy backrest and has infinitely variable seating positions.

It can’t turn as well, and it’s clunky. I go up/down a ramp and the 2 little front wheels that are on funky shocks just clunk around. Some of the things are just adjustments with the speed control… Like it starts so fast it pops wheelies and it’s too wide and hurts my back… But the chair is just so clunky… it makes all these noises and jerks. It’s not well made, at least mine is not. My 2 problems were… first, I never tried one out before ordering it. Second, is when I moved to AZ, I got my WA insurance to buy a new chair, the TDX3, but I moved before it came in. So they shipped it to me. But I never got it fitted. They did send me a new back when I told them the one I got was not tall enough. I just hope when this Permobil goes, there are no records that my new insurance can find out I have the TDX3 that’s only a year and a half old. So I can get a different chair. Greg
