Intelligent Electric Powered Wheelchair Device, Automatic Folding, Remote Controlled, Smart, Compact Heavy Duty Mobile, Powerful Dual Motor, Foldable Portable Motorized Mobility Scooter

This is a really unique chair. While not as small as some other portable power chairs, the omnidirectional wheels still give a really nice turning radius. The seat is comfortable, and the look is sleek. With the weather, I have not used it outside yet, but looking at the wheel design, I think it will be fine. The seat is higher than many chairs, so if you are under 5 ft like me, your feet will not reach the footplate. However, the added height makes it easier to reach some things without having a power seat lift. There are a number of safety features built in such as slowing for turns and reversing, that may take a bit to get used to; however, they are wise given the higher than typical center of gravity. The voice announcing you are backing up can get annoying, but it can easily be turned off. The horn is not your typical beep, but rather sounds like a car horn. The folding and driving via app option is great, because the chair can be easily put out of the way, even stored under a table. The one glitch with this is that because the remote runs on your phone via Bluetooth, once the chair is turned off you cannot turn it back on with your phone to unfold it and bring it back over to you. Someone else has to turn it on manually. And now a note on the customer service. I've been a power chair user for 40 years, and never encountered this level of service.( In fact, 2 months ago I ordered another power chair, the Bounceback intelligent power wheelchair, from Amazon which arrived severely damaged, I was misled by the company about a return or replacement, and I'm still trying to get a refund from Amazon two months later even though I filed an initial issue report 2 hours after I received the chair. My review discussing this one month later, was denied on the grounds that it had more to do with delivery and the company then the chair. So since Amazon didn't want to publish my buyer beware notice, I hope they allow me to post this polar opposite shout out. ) This chair arrived on schedule, very well packaged. Before purchase, I had contacted the manufacturer to ask about the difference between two different models, and received a response within 24 hours. Since receiving the chair from Amazon, I received an email asking me to schedule a personal follow-up with the stateside engineering team to discuss my needs and experience, as well as asking me to provide my address so that I can receive a free long distance battery. The initial call I received from the engineering department just said if I had any problems I could call or text anytime, and since I hadn't, I did not call back. However, they persisted until they were able to reach me at a time I was not on the phone, because they really do want personal feedback from all the customers, this being a new chair on the market. For all those of us who have always gotten chairs from the big manufacturers over the years, where the approach is more impersonal and you take what you can get, this was a real pleasure. I provided the design request of considering how it can be safely restrained in a wheelchair accessible cab or paratransit bus, as many of those services will not transport unless the chair can be tied down. I was also offered the opportunity to receive the accessories of my choice and provide feedback. If you are looking for a lightweight portable chair, suitable for people who may not be ambulatory at all, I highly recommend checking out the Robooter brand. If this model isn't for you, they do have a few other models not yet available on Amazon.

I did a ton of research prior to buying the Robooter x40 electric wheelchair and it has really paid off. I’m an engineer and it is extremely important to me to ensure that what I was buying matches my expectations and needs. I spent multiple weeks reviewing the types of wheelchairs and scooters that were currently available. I was very impressed with the way the electric wheelchair expands & compresses to accommodate carrying it around. It expands & compresses in less than 2 minutes. The 85-pound weigh was a definite advantage since I didn’t want to move around a heavy wheelchair. I chose to install the available Robooter App on my iPhone and it is very practical & easy to use. I was able to make the wheelchair come to me via the App and found it particularly flexible in its operation and use. I love the way the battery can be charged both installed within the wheelchair or when removed from the unit. Removing & installing the battery is a very simple process. That’s a degree of flexibility I didn’t expect to see. This allows me the opportunity to charge multiple batteries which dramatically improves my range. I really enjoy the tight turning radius of the wheelchair too since I was initially concerned about navigating in constricted spaces, I quickly realized that it was not going to be a problem. My research concentrated on purchasing an electric wheelchair and not a scooter since I was concerned about using it in restaurants and small spaces, but it has proven to not to be an issue. The range or mileage of the Robooter was a huge factor since I wanted to use the electric wheelchair around town and on busy sidewalks. I have the Robooter installed on my car via an external hitch mounted power-lift, and it has worked out even better than I expected. I just collapse the wheelchair once it is on the lift and raise it up to ensure it is out of the way. The reduced weigh of the Robooter was a major consideration since I wanted to limit the load on my external power-lift. I typically find that you get what you pay for and the Robooter exceeds my expectations. It is one of the best engineered electric wheelchairs I have seen on the market. I have had numerous people stop me and ask where I bought it. They love the sleek design and the impressive functionality that it offers. It was a worthwhile investment since I can now travel in places I could not go in the past. I’m using the Robooter at my vacation house in Florida and will probably purchase a second one for my primary residence in Colorado. The customer service at Robooter has been extremely helpful. I plan to update this post in the future once I have used it more.
