Hi Bill,

 

I have the Quantum 6000 made by Pride Mobility.  It has great stability and tight space maneuverability.  http://www.pridemobility.com/quantum/PowerBases/MidWheel_6/6000/6000.html

The seat and back are made by Freedom Designs, Inc. in CA.

I really like the way it feels under me.

Which Quantum did you get?  Does it have tilt and recline?  Is Quantum the manufacturer?  I'm going to be getting a new chair very soon.

Hi Greg,

 

That is great news.   Driving opens so many new doors.  I remember my first experience as a Quad driving.  What  a wonderful feeling.  I had my mid-wheel Quantum out this past week, and I was impressed with the turning but also it's ability to drive  on different surfaces.  The front suspension on the casters work great on smooth to rough riding.  I like it better every time I use it!  Good luck with your lessons.

I took my first driving test today… yeah (C5 quad)

After 24 years in a chair, it felt a bit strange to be behind the wheel of a van.

If I can ever afford to buy a new vehicle, she told me the PT Cruiser and the Scion can be converted…

I think the shape of the Scion would give you nice room to turn around inside.

I’m really wanting a rear wheel chair, just for speed (9-14 mph), but for driving, a front/mid wheel drive is so much better. Easier to move around inside.
