You don’t have enough weight on your rear wheels. Tighten the tensioner for your springs on both sides. A screwdriver is all you need to turn the nut that’s at the end of the spring.

I am in Phoenix and have a few R-net Permobil chairs. Would you be able to program for me?
Hi l am a wheelcair user l own a brand new permobil f3 l bought of deseased estate.on the first day my son forgot to put in garage there was light drizzle rain for 10 min after we remembered we had to put on manual to push inside l put alot of air put inside the house to dry .l took rnet and joystick of there is not a drop of water inside.after 2 days remote opened brake error came on remote.but after we closed it .we tried again to use the remote when we put main switch on the r net light comes on for 1 second but the remote does not power on .l tried different remote its still the same.if l buy this tool the one you were showing in the video l was wondering if this tool troubleshoot and show me where l have issues. Or if have any advice on what to do and can help me l would appreciate it.l am from Australia l started watching your videos l really enjoy them.we are all going through similar issues have a great day cheers
That's an expensive lesson! The r-net controller is not the only electrical connection that cannot get wet. Just not having water in the controller does not mean a short has not occurred, and obviously, from your chair's behavior, there was a short. A wheelchair tech could check all the systems and possibly find and replace any systems damaged by the short but it will not be cheap. No computer chip can simply be reprogrammed--which is what this dongle does--after a short. Damaged components must be replaced.
AWESOME
Please, sir, I must have one of these!
Are you in Phoenix too?

Yeah, get well soooooooon wheelchair ghost! 👻
This Three-Wheeler is homemade? Very nice! There's a guy who welded two electric bikes together for his girlfriend. She transfers onto it with ease. They got married about five years ago, and Jerry (jerryrigeverything) on youtube has built a company to make/ sell the evolved version. What a ride for around five-thousand dollars, and on my wish list, second only to healing and restoration for every human being with an infirmity, disease, head trauma, cancer, etc. If you rolled in your newish M5 along those familiar sidewalks, I'm impressed with the comfortable ride quality.
Some spots along the trail look fairly steep and long for a PWC, according Permobil. I lived two miles from White Tank Mountain Regional State Park (west Olive Ave. Maricopa). It was a five-mile round trip to the library there. Three PWC's handled it wo any problems, but Permobil warns me not to traverse such long inclines as it would fry the motors in a 2023-24 model. Thoughts?
I just watched a twenty-minute video on Permobil caster flutter on a generation 3 M5 pwc by 'Totally Normal'. He's been in an F3 with aggressive tread tires. The video is eight years old, but he's presently very satisfied w his '23 F3 and was successful in stopping caster flutter on the older Permobil mentioned - interesting. Also, he assured that 'fixing' or working on the flutter problem won't void the warranty as the issue in considered a defect in parts/ workmanship. He did mention Permobil uses larger casters than previously, at some point. Eight-inch casters on m3, m5, f3, f5, presently. It occurs to me that the aggressive tread tires are slightly larger in width and diameter than the standard tread tires and they come with rear fenders, adding 7.5 mph plays a part. My initial in home F5 demo, the Numotion Rep. suggested standard tread for my use in Southern Indiana, adding the aggressive tread have softer tread compound and more open tread (wear faster). I thought that was a weird thing to say as we get a healthy amount of snow down here and the more frequent tire/ wheel replacements means more money for my vendor. That said, it's funny that Permobil's every picture pwc advertised has aggressive tread tires. Hmm.
You're catching on here. It's not a quick decision based on emotion.
I'm in the process of replacing my present PWC. I'm aligned with V.R. and going through final motions (seating eval report to my counselor's desk - expected by late Dec. or early Jan.). My C500 sits, it's the best pwc I've experienced, poor ride quality, though. I talked w Matt Miller, permobil customer service and he suggested an F5 as opposed to the M5 largely due to caster flutter issues. Truthfully, I believe an M5 is the better choice per my condition at sixty-eight yrs. of age. I'm disappointed after watching your experience. A piece of plastic falling off a wheel due to flutter issues - wow. The Tech ignoring the l. r. caster looseness - I'd get to know his boss, really. A shock absorber ill adjusted, now I'm rethinking a Permobil. Working on your own pwc - could that void the warranty? ...not too many quads that can do this. If you have any encouragement to proceed w Permobil, please reply. Appreciate you sharing!
Permobil is the best. A few minor issues don't make it bad when compared to chairs that are always broken.
@@wheelchairghost I agree with you. The vendor who showed-up for my seating eval. refused to sell me a Permobil, six years ago, and said he didn't make enough money and gave me three lame choices - quantum, ROVI, Invacare's tdx sp - this Quickie qm710, I brought up and it spent on year, collectively, out of six, in the shop. At 2,600 miles, this Quickie - three motor replacements (another pair were in the works, wrong replacements were sent before moving back to Indiana), three joysticks, three swing-away assemblies, caster, fork stem, struts, frt. springs, two wires to Joystick, and error code 8104 still haunts me. Preferred Homecare, Phoenix Valley had to be hounded per lies - "parts haven't arrived yet," while twice Techs failed to walk my parts order to the girls whose job was to order parts - calling sunrise medical helped catching the lies. I really feel another mid-wheel would better suite my circumstances, still. My Permobil '14 C500 was Maintenace only and has 3 thousand miles. Do you think aggressive treads have any role in causing the flutter you're experiencing?
I have no proof of where the flutter comes from, but it seems the tread wearing down has reduced flutter to a reasonable amount. Adjusting the shock and tightening that bolt also played a part in the problem. @@horsewnoname872
Thank you! You've restored my faith in Permobil as my choice. Permobil's owner's manual states 'this wheelchair is made to last five years,' a first in my experience to see this. Matt Miller, Permobil Rep. shared all Permobil PWC's use two pole motors instead of four pole motors as my C500 has. He assured motors will never be a problem, though. Inflation has made me suspect of about everything, like the paint turns out to be plastic parts - anything to cut costs. You're Permobil, your assurances restore my confidence. Again, Thanks!@@wheelchairghost
im still thinking a flat washer between a stack of wavy till really increase the stiffness.
Try it and find out, if you're having flutter issues.
A big jar of flutter butter applied liberally might do the trick!!!!
Amazon was out. I won't buy it from Walmart because it's made from lard.
I've got the flutter bad but in an older chair, i've just now tightened my washers down. One was looser than the other. time will tell if it helps.
If it helps... I think my problem is better because of two things. Tightening the left caster shock adjuster and wear on the caster tires. The angled crack issue went away. Flutter is seldom and due to random causes now.
I love this video !

🤦🏼♂️you didn’t want that dude wrenching on your chair anyway. Luckily he didn’t hook up the batteries and let the grey smoke out
I was eating popcorn close by, both eyes watching him.
@@wheelchairghost while I don’t know about your chair but my M3 has a battery diagram inside of the back cover for both the group 34 and group 24 batteries. But it’s still just priceless
@@mikec7658 He thinks the batteries didn't fit. He may never know what went wrong.
Out of curiosity what are the duracell batteries like ? They came with my new chair and really struggled on long uphill so much so in 2.5 kilometres they dropped 50% had to fire up the generator to be able to get back
@@randomoldblokeThose batteries went back with the tech who couldn't figure out how to install them. From what I've heard they don't work very well and don't work very long.
They don't make common sense like they used to.
So true
That was funny.. Its sad, how they can't replace a simple battery😀. And they have the make & model number.
That's the state of the U.S. workforce. There are no qualified people to hire. Right now I'm eating a Carne Asada Burrito from the deli counter. The old batteries got me there and back so it's OK.
@@wheelchairghost That's true. There isn't people who want to work. I have a Quantum, I've had an error message on my joystick #47 Suspension problem for 9 months and they have tried fixing it and still haven't resolved the issue.

Is that a public park? I understand paying for transportation...but why the other charge? anyway just wondering....
It's a 16,000 acre city park. The $10 is a token fee for organizing and conducting the tours. There are numerous paid employees involved and three non-profit groups sponsoring the events.
If anyone needs a scholarship, they can always reach out! I can make it happen if they can't afford the $10 @@wheelchairghost
Welcome back.
I got lost'ed for a while.
@@wheelchairghost ×e will have to get you an engine hoist and a compass so you don't get lost again.
Looks good...Glad to see ya back up and rolling.....
Out of the hospital yesterday morning. Rolling, but half speed. This hike was planned and paid for a month ago. $10 for the trip and $5 for transportation. Actual cost is subsidized by three organizations.
My F5 vs I got in May this year came with the Permobil batteries. I'm used to the MK batteries that would go a consist 15 miles for almost 2 years before fading. I was impressed that I got a good 20 miles out of the Permobil batteries, but they faded fast and within a month, they where down to just over 10 miles. After over 10 years in a chair, I'm sick of the DME's always replacing my batteries with crap batteries that fade bad within 6 months and are totally shot in a year. So I upgraded to lithium. Just hunted a ton to find a 12 volt lithium battery for a direct replacement of my batteries. Had to put a separate battery meter to more accurately monitor the lithium as the joystick battery gage doesn't know how to deal with lithium. I also got a different charger. So I now get a constant 30 miles out of them and the batteries will last longer than my chair. I plan to get bare cells and use a separate BMS. That's your best bet for the maximum mileage.
Yup that’s me on the Cliff! Still hanging in there 😂❤ thank you for including me in your blog!
Are you going on the South Mountain hike today? (12-9-2023) I want to see what totally cool thing you do next.

A man after my own heart! Keep up the good work and rest in between the major lifts! Looking forward to the build.
Good job tackling that chair. Hope you have a speedy recovery. Looking forward to the build. I sometimes rely on a selfie stick to record short videos at floor view, facing up since I can't get down low enough to see.
Can I have your Power Wheelchair for free?
INTERESTING! i think you're the first person to do that on video! nice to know the whole seating system DOES in fact come off as a unit! hmmmmmm... ideas are forming.... **edit** now we need to get that ICS powered up standalone style!
Depends on if you are using it a max torque and speed, uphill or down hill, what the terrain is, what the outdoor temperature is, your weight, yadda yadda
I figure up camera just need to figure out the box where to get the boxes for the electrical
I don't have a link to the box under the armrest. It's just a plastic box from Amazon. Also... it's plastic so the box doesn't interfere with the wireless communication between camera and phone. I waited till the cameras were delivered, then decided where and how to mount them. Every installation will likely be different, to meet the needs of the person and their chair, but I'll send more pictures if you want details.
Where can I get the parts?
Frank, and anyone else who is interested... Below is an Amazon link to the dash cam. I made the mounting brackets from aluminum plate. The DVR module that comes with the dash cam, is mounted in a plastic box under my right armrest. Everything is contained neatly under the right armrest. There is just a power cable running to it. It can be powered by 12 VDC or through a USB port. For simplicity and a quick test, I originally ran the cameras taped to the chair with wires and power bank and DVR in an armrest bag. It worked well enough that I put in the work to set it up so it would be easy to use. I don't even think about it anymore, but next time I get hit and run by a car I hope it will catch the drunken jackal. It's also nice to have video of fun stuff that happens when you don't expect it. But no useable audio. There are also two pages on my website about the dash cam. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QB6Q3C5/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A3TPRKKPWD3PAK&th=1
Great video! I'm due for a new chair which is exciting and stressful cause you want to get it right. I've always had a mid- wheel drive chair and there's so many things I love about my Permobil M3. As my needs have changed I'm looking at the F3 or F5. Over the years I've really hoped that the driving range would increase. And I mean increase substantially. I'm wanting 60-80 miles per charge. I'd also like for the chair to charge in a matter of an hour or two. Wouldn't it be cool if you could charge the chair from your car? It's very hilly where I'm at and just driving around to the back of my home is steep. You do this enough times and the driving range is not only under what is stated, but as such, this limits what I can do during the day. That's not acceptable. Most people in wheelchairs don't live on a putting green where it's flat. I think there's plenty of room for power wheelchairs to at least meet the level of technology that everyone has in their smart phone, namely the type of batteries that they use. It just feels like the way all power wheelchair manufacturers roll is to do things like they always have. For the price of these chairs I expect more than a cup holder or USB charger as new features. All chairs should come standard with certain things. Lights, backup camera, the LUCI system, and the ability to go all day on a charge seems to be a reasonable thing to ask. I keep hoping.
Go all day on a charge? You're asking for a lot. No wait. That seems reasonable and it's easily done by changing battery technology. Uhm, you already said that. A lithium battery that would go 30 miles would be much smaller and lighter. It could be designed to fit around the machinery, making it possible to design far better chairs. The design options are endless. I believe the problem is simple. I call it "Nanny Syndrome." Everyone involved thinks they are our nanny. They think it's up to them to make decisions for us. A chair that goes faster and farther is too much for those disabled people to handle. The world builds motorcycles and jacked up trucks and fast cars. Any of them will flip over if you operate them wrong. Alcohol is sold on every street corner. People are even encouraged to jump out of airplanes. It's no problem. Able bodied people are allowed to be responsible for themselves. They don't need a nanny. Ahhh yes... that thinking is "Nanny Syndrome." We're not allowed to make our own decisions.
Hey is it very expensive to build a chair bike from scratch?
Hi Loree-Lou. There's no bike here. It's a wheelchair. Federal civil rights law defines it. Any person using this due to a mobility issue is using a wheelchair. Also, they are a PEDESTRIAN under U.S. law. That means you go anywhere people are allowed to walk. Expensive or not is a matter of perspective. Around $4,500 to build a Crazy Chair like this.
What a nice view. Thanks for bringing us along. 🦼😁
Thank the sponsors of the trip. It cost me $15. That's not enough to pay for the gas.
Lucky you to have such an organization nearby. I know of nothing like that in Barrie ON Can.
Looks a bit windy there, I wish that there was somewhere where I live like that 👍
If it makes you feel better, I don't live there either. It's a two hour drive which is normally impossible for me.
looks good...fresh air and sunshine!!!
It's all of that Old Man, plus it's like sacred ground for events from much of my life. Didn't think I'd ever get up there again.
Thank you so much for uploading this video, super appreciated! I received a brand-new M3 about 10 months ago, but have been a little bit chicken to really test the range to the extreme. My chair has about 315 km/195 miles
WARNING!!! Don't do what I did!!! I think the deep discharge destroyed the batteries.
Hey wheelchair ghost thanks for the stream. I’ll be out there watching for you.
Mm 🤔
Perplexing indeed...
This looks like it was all on flat ground. Is that correct?
It's VERY flat around here.
