Reply To: Wheelchair maintenance / tech tips
I was using a Freedom Compact: http://www.freedom.ind.br/produto/saude/cadeiras-de-rodas-motorizadas/freedom-compact/
It’s manufactured in Brazil, if I’m right it’s the biggest in Latin America. I like this model cause allow me to handle higher steps. I could even manage trains by myself without requiring a slope. Bad points: Not so powerful on hilly places, air tires (comfortable, but require constant maintenance) and seem to fail easily with water/rain.
I’m using a simple Permobil now.
