please understand there;'s alot more than just matching a bracket to a 'chair
and
magically everything works-that's in a perfect world. sometimes the bolt will
hang you up on door thresholds, on the tops/bottoms of ramps, may interfere
with other items in your environment.
could hang you up getting into/out of the minivan ramp. the permobil does have
a close ground clearance. work with your local mobility dealer and 'chair
vendor and check your environment out and you should be ok.

You simply go to EZ-LOCK webpage and match your chair with a bracket.
Thank you!

I know two people who had terrible experiences with Permobil chairs and
service. Truly nightmare experiences.
But, I know quite a few more people who have had positive experiences and love
their Permobils.
I test drove a Permobil a few years back and really liked it. Unfortunately, it
was too big to fit in the driving area of my minivan. If I remember right they
also didn't have an EZ-Lock bracket available for the chair.
Anyone know? Can Permobil's now be equipped for an EZ-Lock? Or do they use
their own lock-down system?
It's a Swedish company.

Back in Feb. I had a permobil m300 mid wheel drive demo to try out for a day.
I took the chair out on my regular daily usage, it was great, I'm a lefty and
it was set up for a right hand driver but I had no issues. The turning radius
is much better then a rear wheel drive chair (I have a quickie p300 built in
1999) My insurance only covers 80% of the cost so I'm trying to raise $3500.00
for my share.

I got a permobil m300 last december, it's been good so far. Seems to be more
heavy duty than previous chairs, but that also means more weight. Gel filled
tires, no flats. The back cushion is comfortable. Controls for the seating
system could be a little more quad friendly.
