    Zippity do dah

    Zippity yeah

    I'm getting my wheelchair

    It's coming Friday

    alt

    Bariatric Power wheelchair with mid wheel drive.

    • SureStep technology (patent pending) for smooth driving over thresholds and transitions up to three inches in height.
    • True center-wheel.
    • Six wheels on the ground provide optimum stability.
    • Semi-recline van seats or full-recline van seats.
    • Speed: Maximum of 6.5 mph.
    • Charger: 5 amp (on-board).

    Whoopie. This chair can climb the curb whithout through me to the ground. It has state-of-the-art technology that puts the wheels ru=ight under me instead of oldre chair that were eithr front wheel or rear wheel drive. For me this means that turning is more in tune with how a body moves.

    Another really great feature is the on-board charger. With older models there was a rather large and heavy charger that you had to get home to for a recharge. With this one the charger on board means I can plug myself in anywhere and don't have to worry about running out of power on my way home from one of my escapades around town.

    Watch out Ottawa. I'm on a roll again. zzzzzzzzzzoooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Thanks Carla. All this beautiful weather we have been having and I haven't been able to get out to enjoy any of it. The loaner chair has a flat tire so all I have is the manual chair -- and a hill at my door step. Takes tremendous work to go up and is a rollercoaster ride coming down with the sincere hope that I don't hit anything at the bottom of the hill.

    I've watched people's faces as I free roll down the hill. They are terrified for me. I CAN do it but it burns the heck out of my hands even with the extra-padded leather cycling gloves that I have.

    At the pace most of them walk, you know that witness stroll, I could run circles around them. Witht he one I have now (when it doesn't have a flat tire) I pass anyone walking and slow joggers. Faster joggers are just slightly faster than me and that is when I wasn't on the top speed.

    I'm happy for you, Lady Lee!

    Curious...Is this chair designed by the inventor of the Segway?
