It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

By point of comparison... I'm just about 1 year in on my $2,000 electric wheelchair... It opened up the world for me again. Even over gravel and dirt. I was even able to go see our local Troll!

I feel like this community would be receptive of your full review of that electric wheelchair, if you wanted to author a post about it. I certainly would like to know more.

I'll put something together! Thanks!

I think that would go over pretty well here, thanks for doing a writeup!

That's awesome, I love that you have a local troll lol

What kind of range does the chair have?

[–] jordanlund 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I paid extra for the 17 mile battery, it comes stock with a 12 mile battery that's certified for air travel.

I don't fly that much so I figured better to have more range.

If I do end up flying, I'll get the smaller battery and the quick charger.

Does it really get 17 miles or are they rated like ebikes where range is wildly exaggerated?

Hard to say since there's no odometer, but like I say, I haven't been in a situation where I've run out.
