Find Best Price at Amazon"About three years ago, my mom bought me a Drive transport chair for what we thought was just a lingering, but short-term problem. My shoulders are still on again/off again, but I am *tired* of *just* a transport chair and want to be able to move around on my own if I decide to wander off - and doing that easily isn't possible in a transport. I checked out standard manual chairs at a medical supply store near the main hospital here, and found one that converts from manual to transport (also made by Drive), but this one actually makes more sense for me, and I'll tell you why. I've also included some pictures that may help you: PRICE & AVAILABILITY: The "transformer" chair (changes from transport to manual) costs around $700 locally. FEATURES I LOVE: ~I love, love, love the fact that I can push a button and lift the armrests and put them behind me so I can roll under a table more easily. Consider that when you pack things into the pocket, because if you have a backpack, it may bounce into your back, and you don't want a bunch of awkward things in that pocket because it'll be uncomfortable. It can't get whole lot lighter than that for a chair like this. When I put the armrests back down, I have to fidget with the cushion. I think most seat cushions will be a tight fit so if you're buying this as a new chair, you'll want to check the seat cushion you have or are planning to buy. The reason this is an issue is that the back of the top part of the seat fabric hits my back (I'm 5 foot, one inch) at a different height than the transport, and if the O2 backpack straps slide toward me, it makes for an uncomfortable ride. ~The handlebars do not come out as far as the ones on the transport chair. It's not an issue for the people who push me, but if you hang a lot of stuff on the back of your chair, you might find that the straps start to dig into your back. OVERALL: I really do like this chair. If I could afford to shell out the $2K for this one Smart Chair - Electric WheelchairSmart Chair - Electric Wheelchair, I would, but I can't."
"However, when mine arrived, the paint was scarred and scratched and the screw holding one of the arm latches was bent. If Drive Medical reads this, I have a suggestion... Don't just put the footrests inside without covering them so they will not scratch and dent the paint and bend other functional parts."
"After about six hours my knees were aching like crazy, even though the foot supports were only about one inch off from what I needed. I had an easy time on short, Berber-style carpeting inside of shops, but bogged down a bit on anything deeper. The swing-back arms are a nice help for getting under lower restaurant tables, but stick out a bit too much for crowded rooms. I'm thinking to take red ribbons to tie on them next time so that they're a bit more visible in a packed cafe. A homemade seat cushion, a pair of gloves, a backpack, and a cargo net have all been added. (I found that the low and wide Lilly Bloom style with the outside pockets on either end fits like it was specifically designed for it!). The chair came with a tiny adjustment tool, but the bolts on the brakes are so locked into place that none of the dozens of people who've tried have been able to turn them at all."
"This chair rolled 15ft before the right front wheel BROKE OFF (see photos) dumping my wife forward on the ground!!!"

"Very nice that they stand behind their product!"
"I have had very significant discomfort for the past 7 years when sitting due to spinal stenosis and was hopeful this cushion would help (along with the epidurals etc). **Delivery was quick. **Cushion seems strong and well made. **Very comfortable to sit on (when well supported). **Company contacts you and seems to really stand behind their product. **I would buy this cushion again."

SO on the rear of the scooter is the red lever for FREEWHEEL or DRIVE position. The ride is solid and great on good surfaces, it maneuvers reasonably on rough areas, but not recommended for an extended period of time."
"Even with my back trouble and terrible knee pain."
"It was easy to assemble, charged fast, and I was driving it the same day it arrived."
"It was use a magic kingdom and it was recharged as preventive action during a time of snack (turkey leg) for maybe 20 min. Fit a Corolla 2005 sedan trunk, easy to put apart and together, it is not heavy, seat is in leather and the small basket is great to carry personal items."
"I carried my Garmin portable GPS and it registered top a speed of 5.8 MPH. THIS IS A VERY GOOD BASIC SCOOTER AND IT WILL TAKE MOST ACCESSORIES, i.e. REAR BASKET.CUP HOLDER ETC."
"The first day of the delivery window, 6/5, The seller, Phillips Medical, contacted me by phone to tell me that the original scooter had been misplaced by the shipper. I plugged the battery in immediately for the 4 to 6 hour original charge and started the assembly. If I decide to further upgrade to the 21 amp battery which would increase the range from 9 to 15 miles, I will certainly contact Phillips Medical to do that."
"Easy to assemble, adequate power and long lasting battery."
"Perfect size for me, I’m unable to walk right now, fun, cute and the only thing it needs is mirror and the horn is not a real horn it’s a tiny beep. I like it a lot."

PLEASE read the description carefully before buying this as your one-and-only walker if you need a walker 100% of the time and plan on using it 16 hours a day. It's the kind of walker you may want to buy if you have older relatives so you can keep it at your house for them (kind of like keeping a baby carseat for the grandchildren). By the way, I really wanted to shop locally, but the medical supply company rep told me that Amazon's price was very good. The rep was not familiar with this walker, but told me that he thought it really looked perfect for what we needed."
"It easily becomes narrower for doorways and folds to a very manageable size for the theater, restaurants, car travel, etc."
"The directions on the slides they say are for this walker "there are two tabs that connect the Skid to the walker leg tube. The front and back tabs have a recess area between the tabs and the walker leg tube.""
"This walker is very sturdy but easy to fold and use."
"This summer I bought this for my mom taking my father on those doctor visits."
"I was pleased that this walker arrived assembled."

"The other problem, and this is a deal breaker, is that the lever that is depressed to fold down the seat back, on the left, was initially hard to depress. I was able to get it to depress a couple of times but it was pretty hard to do. I was trying to fold up the chair to get it into the van, after my husband's PT appointment and the lever broke completely off when I tried to depress it."

"Although this unit, a Drive Medical Steel Rollator is a bit heavier than its aluminum counterparts--the benefits of increased strength and more importantly--stability--in my opinion, more than make up for the weight factor."
"While not exceptionally easy to transport, it does fold up easily without the basket, and I can lift it into the back of our car with minimal effort."
"half of the spokes on one of the tires were broken."
"I was SO ecstatic at how marvelous it was in helping me move around that I immediately ordered a second one just like it to keep in the car (since it IS a bit tiresome to take up and down stairs whenever we go anywhere in the car--at LEAST a couple times a day, often more). But in my situation, living one flight above street level with the garage at street level and 2 half flights of stairs and doors to negotiate through to get from living quarters to car and again from car to living space, this model's weight and its wire basket beneath its seat became burdensome. AND the rectangular wire basket under the seat, roughly the size of a shoe box, is almost always a minor problem to take out &/or put back in place. We keep the aluminum model in a car trunk and the non-aluminum model upstairs in the living area."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The HurryCane is my favorite, all-purpose cane because it is comfortable to grip, lightweight, pivots to make walking more natural, and will stand on its own, with careful placement on select flooring. With careful placement, it will stand on level surfaces, such as wood floors and flat tile, but sometimes it still falls over in this setting. However, the ability to have the HurryCane stand alone allows you to use both hands for something else (like finding that item at the bottom of your purse). My husband calls it my "Ninja cane," because of the way it folds and unfolds, so it has added a little humor to life as well. Basic cane (shown on left in picture): this was issued by the hospital a few years ago as I was getting out of a wheelchair after pelvic fractures. Overall, unless you need an added feature like the light, storage, or sit-to-stand assistance, I recommend that you spend your money on the HurryCane. Unlike the HurryCane, the quad cane will stand alone on gravel and in the grass, although it occasionally falls over if I place it on an incline."
"I had to use that because my balance was poor and I needed the support from this type of cane. If a cane were set on a large acorn or a pine cone it would roll & you may lose your balance. I also recommended they have a clamping device on the cane to hold it in the folded position. The Freedom Edition HurryCane has feet attached more securely and they implemented my clamping device idea. It is lighter, and it folds easier When I send their customer support a message they usually get back to me the same day! Another example of how committed to customer satisfaction they are is they asked me if I knew of anyone who would benefit from having a HurryCane. I told them I have a friend named Floyd who I felt would greatly benefit from a HurryCane. I know this has been a long review but I wanted to make sure I tell you about the fantastic features this All-Terrain Cane has. The other mechanical problem I had with it was the pin that is used to set the height was sheered off on day. When I checked my email Monday morning two associates with HurryCane had apologized profusely for what happened & they told me that they had already addressed the issue with that pin. I'm only telling you that if you want one that is guaranteed to work exactly like it is described you should buy it directly from the HurryCane company."
"I really like it so much more than my regular quad cane BUT there are some thing you need to be aware of before you buy the advantages of the cane outweighed the disadvantages for me but judge for yourself. Here you go: 1: The base of the cane is a bit smaller than the regular quad cane and for me it has a harder time sanding on its own, it falls frequently. No more struggling to get the cane in the car or walking without the cane to the backseat to get the cane you just get in fold it up and put it in you floorboard or even in the handy carry case it came with."

It's very difficult to properly place the rubber pads securely under a rail--especially because when the chair reclines the rails move up This is a safety concern as the unit is rendered insecure. After tightening one of the screws to the tray it became stripped and no longer tightens. Next, the big handle bar is made of durable plastic but put together in a way that a nearly 1/8" seam is created, making it painful for people with sensitive hands or arthritis to grip. However in doing so there is a small gap between the two "tubes" which also makes the handle jiggle."

However, that being said, this is the most amazing product, and I have tried six different similar pads, three from the physical therapy institute that I have been working with (all worthless), and three from other big box stores that my husband had to go to pick out, as I could not even tolerate to sit in the passenger seat.
