Having been hit by an intermittent neurological condition this year, I was concerned I'd no longer be able to participate with my family on our extended outings, most notably the theme parks. I also didn't want to rent one of the park's larger ECV options as they can be challenging to navigate. The W1 has met all my needs by being compact and comfortable, and by having a strong enough battery to last me through the day. My only concern is that while it does fold and can be loaded into the back of our SUV, it is, on some days, too heavy for me to manage on my own.

I have struggled with mobility and accessibility since my spinal surgery and stumbled across someone using one of these during my travels and this has truly given me the freedom I have been missing. I have finally been able to be more independent and for the first time in 6 years I walked my dog. This has changed my life and I’m so happy with it. Easy to use. Light weight and great customer support. Only wish that they worked with insurance.

My father In law loves his new wheelchair. A stroke caused him to have very limited use of the right side of his body. We purchased the left handed joy stick and to have the ability to maneuver in tight spaces was such a relief for him. I recommend this to anyone with limited mobility!

I’ve only had my new wheelchair for a week and it is already a game changer!

I love that as an ambulatory wheelchair user who is trying to be more active, I can switch between a walker and a rollator whenever I need. I’ve already been getting more exercise because I don’t have to use a wheelchair for the entirety of longer distances out of fear of my health acting up. Now I can switch between the two at ease!

Some of my other pros and cons:

Pros:
- Long driving distance between chargings
- Comfortable hand controls for people with chronic pain like myself
- easily folds up into a relatively small space in a car
- lightweight for an electric wheelchair at only ~45 pounds without the removable battery
- Light battery makes it easier to charge
- Feels much more stable on a lateral slope compared to my old wheelchair (going sideways instead of going up/down slope)
- Smoother, less bumpy ride than my old wheelchair
- Runs smoothly on flat grass
- Handles relatively steep slopes surprisingly well (though does gripe at you for doing so)
- Rainproof, according to advertising!
- comes with two storage options, the pouch on the back + an under seat bag (not pictured here)

Cons:
- says in instruction manual can’t go in temperatures below freezing, which could be a problem when I’m soon moving to a colder climate. Might be limitation of any wheelchair with a similar battery though
- 4 Set speeds instead of a dial, and first 2 speeds are way too similar and slow, at least when outside. However, the joystick is speed sensitive to how far you push it in a direction, so you can somewhat overcome the only 4 set speeds by having a lighter or heavier hand to vary your speed

I love the design of this wheelchair. No cables flying around was the deciding factor. The only thing I do not like is the doorbell like sound each time I turn on the wheelchair. It's loud and distracting.
