Comments about Shoprider Shoprider Jimmie Power Chair:
Very mobile now, I do carry my charger in a backpack just in case... Seat's not very comfy if you want to lean back, so forces trunk control... City buses are a breeze now... My 68 year old father (who has more metal than the bionic man) can disassemble and put in the trunk in about +/- 1 minute... I can also go to the store which is about 1 mile away, shop, and come back home and just be into the red... I assembled the chair by myself and only have one hand... stay out of grass and off slippery surfaces i.e. fresh waxed floors as traction isn't all that great, but, getting sideways and sliding can be fun, but very dangerous

Comments about Shoprider Shoprider Jimmie Power Chair:
In daily use, my Jimmie is very portable(fits in the trunk of the family car after disassembly). It is also robust. The assembled chair is extremely manouverable and powerful enough to navigate reasonable grades. It's most sterling quality is it's small size! I can go anywhere you can walk with it. It fits on all elevators without a problem! I wish the battery packs were easier exchanged but given that you can recharge the thing in less than an hour, it eally isn't a problem. The lightweight chair is somewhat uncomfortable after you sit in it for a while. My only other complaint is that the foot rest is somewhat ungainly.
The chair assembles in less than 5 minutes and that includes the time it takes to pull the components out of the trunk of the car.
