It is just too hot most of the year in Florida to make that trip very often. However, when my chair was quite a bit faster, I could make the trip in one hour. I figured my chair was driving over 7 mph since I was being held up by traffic, traffic lights, and some degraded sidewalks. Now I'm probably be lucky if my chair does 5 1/2 mph. I guess I can't complain about an 11-year-old chair still operating that well. If only the new Peachtree system is as good as the old one, I would get a new chair right away. .
