Personal Opinion:
Stylish wheelchair, which has very nice colour options. I feel the frame isn’t the best for those of you who would want to add a Jay Backrest on, as it would alter the look of the frame; but that is my personal choice. Push handles can be attached if wanted/needed. I really dislike the carbon fibre side guards, footplate and camber bar as it limits the chair’s use. For example, you can’t attach a handbike or smart drive without damaging the parts. Plus it hurts if you get a piece of carbon fibre in your finger (overpacking the car caused this, so I learned from my mistakes!) I am also not keen on the sling-style seating with the metal bits that go into the frame, as it’s a hassle to fix/replace.

Great chair to get out and about in, as it can handle different surfaces. So overall I think it is a good chair, but it was sadly measured too big for me. Lesson learned about who you pick to take your measurements! So I am looking forward to getting my new chair soon.
