(Trying to repost) I loved this chair. The highlights for me were comfort, collapses small enough to store in my trunk, the battery lasts for awhile (I was surprised when I took this on vacation with me for 2 weeks, I didn't have to recharge when I used it for at least 4 out of the 14 days for long periods of time), smooth ride, allows me to go longer distances even when my legs don't want to work or my body is too painful. The negatives I've found - when I put the tipping wheels on, it doesn't stand up straight when collapsed, I have to lean it on a wall, and turns are very slow and the chair is very sensitive to turning. Otherwise it is amazing and I'd recommend. Even the seat is comfortable (I have a gel cushion I have from my manual wheelchair I expected to need but I don't after all).
I love my new chair. It's given me the possibility to go further when my legs can't or my body is in too much pain. I learned that if you put the tipping wheels on it cannot stand up by itself but without the tipping wheels it can stand up when collapsed. The only other thing I wish was different is the cup holder that was offered. It isn't very sturdy and doesn't stay up straight. Otherwise, battery life is great for what I need it for. If I needed it full days and couldn't recharge for some reason, two might be your best choice. It's comfortable which I was surprised at, I actually have a gel cushion I was going to swap it out with but haven't needed to.
Truly, it's been great for my needs.
The battery arrived and charged in the specified time indicated…..since it’s a backup battery, I will not be able to review its advertised range until I use it
Excellent customer service. I’ve only used the S3 a few times but I am well pleased. It seems to be sturdy and well built. I wish it were about 10 lbs lighter but I will manage. The product arrived rarely quickly but the FAA approved battery was out of stock. I’ve received it now, so no problems.
I recently purchased the S3 and I'm very happy I made this purchase. The S3 is very stylish and practical at the same time. I use it every morning on a 2.5 mile ride and I receive plenty of compliments from how it looks and how well it fits me. The feature of slowing down when making external is great I have nothing but great things to say about the customer service team. They have been very responsive to my questions. I would highly recommend the S3 scooter.
