I picked up the E60 Pro A for my mom earlier this year. She lives alone in a small city apartment and was starting to avoid going out because the sidewalks around her building are cracked and bumpy. Now she takes this chair to the corner store and her weekly doctor visits and I usually just walk beside her. We have had it for about three months and she uses it most days.
The ride feels steady even on rough patches and over those little curb ramps. The wide tires grip well and it does not feel like it will tip when we cross our sloped driveway. The joystick felt strange to her for the first day or two but now she turns into the elevator and lines up at doors without stress. She likes the soft seat and supportive back. I like that the battery lasts all day so I do not worry.
I bought the E60 Pro A for my grandma after her doctor suggested she walk less because of shortness of breath and a couple of scary near falls. She is in her late seventies and lives in a small city apartment, so she still wants to get to the corner store and her church without feeling like a patient. We have had the chair for about a month and she uses it almost every day.
On our first trip I noticed how steady it feels over cracked sidewalks and those rough spots by curb ramps. The wide tires grip really well and it does not feel like it will tip when we cross small bumps. The joystick took her a few tries to get used to, but now she steers through the apartment hallway and elevator just fine. The start and stop is smooth and the braking feels secure when we are on a mild slope in the parking lot. She likes the soft seat cushion and supportive back, and the little storage bag is perfect for her purse and medicine.
She tells me she feels more independent and less nervous outside. For everyday outdoor surfaces it has given both of us more peace of mind.
I bought this wheelchair for my 80-year-old mom. It's only 28 pounds and made mostly of carbon fiber. As a senior caregiver, I usually struggle with heavy powered wheelchairs, but this one is very easy for me to lift, especially because of the simple handle design when it's folded.
Folding and unfolding it takes just a few seconds. I can put it in the trunk with no help. Now we can go to the park or take short trips around our neighborhood, instead of just staying at home. This chair has really changed our daily life.
Taking care of an elderly parent is never easy, either physically or mentally. But this wheelchair helps a lot. It gives us more time outdoors, fresh air, and less stress for both of us.
The control panel is very easy to use. There's a small learning curve, but my mom figured it out in about 10 minutes. After just one day, she could drive it around the house with no problem, even in tight spaces.
We even took it on vacation to Europe. It’s airplane-approved, and we had no issues bringing it on the plane.
I highly recommend this wheelchair. It was a great investment
