power chairs/scooters - need advice
Hi, looking for advice/help on finding a good outdoor power chair.
Been finding walks to shops quite straining lately, it's not the same everyday but somedays it makes walking really strenuous.
It doesn't matter if it is second hand as long as it's decent & does the job (i can bling my ride & pimp it up later lol)
Any links or sources if you know one that's particularly good you've tried or heard of would be great or any advice at all regarding purchasing.
I know ebays an option but one can never get enough sources when it comes to such a useful purchase ie something that's going to help me get around without having to rely on other people so much like my mum who is great but very busy life anyway (though she'd never admit it, she's so kind).
oh and yeh, the faster the better (200mph max though, safety oc)
:P
Is best to find a shop/company that's nearish to wear you live as if/when there's a problem with your powerchair/wheelchair, is nice to have the help close at hand if/when shit happens. Your powerchair is just like a car ;)
Preloved is a good site for picking up second hand wheel chairs . I've got two one that was organised by the state wich is a big power chair fantastic for on the campsite it's very stable . And we have just bought a second hand folding power chair . I was advised not to go for a scooter as its tiring on the arms and as I do have mild arm problems it was good advise ! The most important thing if your buying a secondhand chair is to ask about the age of the batteries they last on average two years and are very costly to replace ! I have to admit my little chair is fantastic but you can't do curbs etc its far less stable but per feet for shops hospital app etc. if can help you more please let me know happy to help ! Are you not entitled to a state grant ? All the best femke xx
