I'm with you Ron. The ibot is nothing but an expensive novelty.

my response:
Hello,
In the car business you have ford, chevy, ford,
dodge.......toyota........which are known manufacturers that have proven
technology and any mechanic works on these. The you have saab, audi,
volvo, scion, saturn, fiat, mercedes........these car may be decent but
you cant get parts very easy and when u do its crazy high priced.
The wheelchair business is the same you got invacare, quickie,
tilite.......then you got the unknowns ibot, permobile and several more.
When you buy a car or wheelchair you have to think about can i get parts
for this chair, how easy, how much, from which vendor.
Quickie is the most proven, known, trusted manufacturer........parts are
plentiful........anyone works on them.
I would never subject myself to the hell that buying an unknown is going
to be.......the ibot is cool to watch but too much technology to keep
going in everyday life and come on are u really going up thirty stairs
with it.........i think if you went up the thirty stairs 5 times a day you
would have a broken chair and a couple broken legs.
